I've been busy making hats!

And here's a little taster! Me and one of the other little birds will be down at the Corn Exchange in Rochester this weekend to show and sell them at the Bespoke Design Showcase. To view more of them go to Three Little Birds site here.

Let me know what you think!

Sun is shining weather is sweet

It is so beautiful here at mo. Today has been such a nice day. Got up early, went to a bootfair. Came back with some goodies. One old 6x6 camera, an expresso maker, a pretty yellow fan, a whole bag of buttons and a set of curtains in a looovely material - soon to be converted into bags and purses and maybe some cushions. All of it for merely £2.80! 

Got back home just as my hubby got out of bed. 

Made coffee and sandwiches and had our breakfast in Victoria Gardens, a lovely park at the end of our street. 

After breakfast/lunch I took my sewing machine over to my friends house, plugged in an extension lead and had a hat making workshop in her garden. On 31May-1June we will be at the Bespoke showcase, part of the Fuse Festival, selling some stuff. 

Make sure to come down ladies, you will need a hat/fascinator for this summers parties! 

No internet, more life?

Hey guys and dolls.

I have been moving recently, (woo!), and got a new big bright flat with loads of work to it. Been painting, scrubbing, scraping, cleaning for a while now. And, we still haven't got the internet. So, things are a bit quite on this blog and on my email front. No telly either. 

I am actually enjoying it, a lot! Life seems less stressful in a way, not all the technology to obey to. 

How much time do you spend in front of your telly or on the internet?

Monkey Love

I finished off these two little guys today. Their limbs have been lying around for ages. More to come... Time for a monkey party :)

I saw the Queen today

she was dumped in a skip

Should I go back and save her?

I love bicycles

as you already know and I have been tempted by this saddle-cover for 2 years now!


It is made by Lollopard (supercute clothes for small and big people) and you can find it here at Folkart.

The 'T' symbol is for 'Tunnelbana', which is Swedish for 'Subway' or 'Underground'. This fab retro looking cover would look so great on my old dutch bike!

While you are over at Folkart do browse around, there are some great goodies there.
Another fantastic piece (I want it I want it!)(I need it, I need it - I do live in England after all... ) is this wonderful raincoat by Danish Danefae  There are swans on the print, aaaawwww


A quick link here
They also do a 'normal' coat in a red and white swan print.

Great shop in A-dam

De EMAILLEKEIZER

Whilst in Amsterdam I also stumbled upon another amazing, fantastic and outstanding shop - one of the loveliest ever! I have 'collected'/picked up old enamel cups and objects for years now and while excitedly walking about in this shop I really started planning my move to Amsterdam and my head was filled with thoughts about how to decorate my imaginary home. Oooh, how I would like to fill my home with bits from this shop.

Make sure you stop by if you are ever in the area, it is just off the Albert Cuyp market in the De Pijp area. For more info look here. The website does not do the shop justice though and I really recommend paying the shop a visit. Not only do they stock a vast quantity of all sorts of fantastic enamel pots, plates, cups and teapots but also amaaaazing african shopping baskets and big storage/washing baskets and personalized enamel house signs.

I brought back two very pretty painted plates, quite like the one on the pic above.
Next time I am def getting a shopping basket too.
