Melting Crayons

I suggest you go melt crayons. Now.
It's stupidly fun to melt stuff and it's pretty too.
I peeled all the paper off my crayons ages ago for no reason so they were dirty and I had to shave them.

Mobile Photos

Start of March 2012 - end of April 2012
Guinness cakes, diana, carrow hill, cherry blossom, a new friend, coffee, what I'm reading, my tired face, homemade meringues and cream, easter chick, baby tote, new dress, showing mum I like the cardigan, trying to save the herbs, hippo, gangsta, fishnets in the pub, william in the pub, blurry tiles in the pub and a doodle I did last night.

Polka Dot Shoes!

The first photo shows some nice new things I got today for a total of £8.40 and some instax photos (which you can see on my flickr if you like).

The second photo is of wax crayons being sorted. Obviously. Also one of the cd's we ordered off amazon with our £10 lottery winnings. Another example of something we should have owned years ago but didn't.

Just now we were in Morrisons buying a bottle of wine, a jar of mayonnaise, a bag of salad and a bag of peanut puffs. The till lady asks for id. Will gives her id (he's 26) she looks at me and asks for id, I tell her I have none on me but point out that Will's buying it, not me. She doesn't let us buy the wine. All this accomplishes is that I have to stand outside while Will goes back in to get the wine from someone else as though I am actually underage and being sneaky.
I get id'd all the time which I don't mind but it's something new that I look so young or dodgy or something that she won't even sell alcohol to someone with 26 year old id if I'm with them.

Crazy.

I wonder how young I'd need to have been for her to sell Will the alcohol, I'm sure she doesn't refuse to sell alcohol to people that have little kids with them...

For reference, I'm 24.

Robot Cards

This fine fellow started out as a notebook cover and then ended up on some postcards.
I've had a few people say to me "If that robot was on a card I would definitely buy it." How could I not make some cards?

I've left the inside blank and they're available on Etsy and in The Craft Room.

Crochet Bunting

Crochet bunting is now available on my Etsy and in The Craft Room.

If you'd like different colours or lengths then just ask :)

Baby Tote

I was asked to design a tote for someone doing a midwifery course. Bit of a tough subject for a bag design, my first thoughts of midwifery aren't really suitable images for a tote bag but I think it turned out quite sweet.
I was going to screen print it but then decided to hand paint it instead seeing as there was only going to be one of them.

Patterns

That's my new (to me) apron found amongst a pile of fabric handed down to me.
It's awesome.
