Christmas Stuff

Getting in the mood (not really, I'm a bit snowed under at the moment!) and thought I'd pop these on Etsy and NOTHS just to test the water! Plus I thought I better give a quick update on what's been happening recently.....

These all started out as little paper cuts for my Make Lounge Demos - I always try and do something different each time I start a class and they ofter lead on to a new idea, somewhere down the line. So the little Santa bag I did last year has finally morphed into a Christmas stocking, so too has the reindeer. 'With Love' has had a few tweeks and is all set for Valentines, with a pop at Christmas in between!

Open Studios is just around the corner - 1st and 2nd December at The Chocolate Factory - You can keep track of us all on our Facebook Page

Tidy up time. 'You're so messy mummy!' my little boy told me after school as I tempted him in with a packet of Quavers and time on the laptop whilst I finished packing and sending today. Oh dear.

I've finally just ordered my copy of 'Illuminate' by Hannah Nunn and am very excited to get my hands on it. Thank you Hannah for including me, it's so nice to be in a book that's just about modern gorgeous lighting!

I'm also thrilled to be in a cute little book by the We Make London team, titled Inspired:London
You can find all about it here. Thanks to Author Mary McDermott for all the hard work and great photos by Abi Bansal
I'm slightly shy of the big photo of yours truly - but love all the rest - it's a great read, with some brilliant people in it.

And last but not least - I've got a selection of my work in a new exhibition at The Park Gallery up in Falkirk - Winter Warmth From the 17th November - 26th January with light being the main theme of the show, so there'll be a small selection of my lamps and more, hopefully feeling quite at home with all the other lovely things for sale (Hannah Nunn included - we get around!)

Oh and if that's not enough - thanks to Katherine O'Connell for her beautifully handmade 2013 diaries using my printed tea towels. You can buy them here together with lots of other lovely handmade books from her Etsy shop.
