March at last, my favourite month.

Cat People, she is number 3. A boy on the way. Inspiration, this lady.

Toys.

Wishing for Pirum Parum.

Excited by the beautifully presented goods at Sparrow & Co. Go Glasgow!

Hmm, the ever expanding post! Diane released her new collection over at Pagan Poetry today, Salome. The piece above makes my jaw drop, I wish for beauty and a flat chest to carry it off!

Ignore the title, this post has nothing to do with nonsense or balderdash, I just like the sound of the word.

There is just enough time left to nominate if you haven’t already, quick, quick!

Here is a peek at a bit of embroidery work, I have some others along similar lines in (slow) progress, I thought they might be nice for Valentine gifts but I’m not sure if they will make it into the shop in time.

I can’t stop looking at Elisabeth Dunker’s blog Fine little Day. I think it is the light.

Papier Mache describes itself as “a very cute childrens magazine for anyone who wants to read it”. And, oh my goodness, is it ever cute! Have you read it yet? Some of my favourite artists are featured or contributing this month: Barbara Berrada, Poala Zakimi, Elisabeth Dunker, Donna Wilson, Atsuko Ishii, Herzensart, Le Train Fantome, Lemmikkiapina and I am in there somewhere too! Hop on over to Papier Mache, it is so beautifully produced and styled, you won’t be sorry you did.
