March Hares Again plus Winner Announced

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Harum scarum March is here again, my favourite month. This particular March will be an incredibly full one and I hope to be able to announce some exciting news very soon. I will be keeping a low profile for the rest of this week as Mr A is out of town, just the bean and me, ballet rehearsals and lots of nervous nail biting.

Sticking with the polar theme I am about to announce the winner of my little giveaway. Drum role for the random number thingamy – the winner is Diane (dkoss2) , hooray! I will be in touch a little later to ask you for your address and choice of star. Thank you so much to everyone who took part, that was fun, now I have broken my contest duck I won’t be so worried about doing another one. Watch this space!
Oh and the reason for the giveaway, the release of my exclusive for Schmancy, you can adopt one of the polar pack here right now!
I am pretty sure I had some other state smashingly interesting things to share with you but my jelly head isn’t cooperating. Ishi is obsessed with skipping/jump rope, we watched this video a thousand times yesterday. Malcolm McLaren annoys me but I confess I liked this song at the time. Ace skipping!

Some Etsy Joy

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

Yesterday I was buzzing with ideas and so excited to be planning new projects. I managed to bag a little something on ebay that I am going to use as the starting point for my next piece. There may even be a collaborative project germinating, more on this soon I expect! Today of course things are a little flat, impossible to fly everyday, so I am going to concentrate on planning Ishi’s third birthday celebrations. I can reveal that so far a desire has been expressed for chocolate AND carrot cake, meerkats, a big boy bike and candles, really the cake and candles are the most important element for our son! Happily I am able to meet all of these wishes, including the meerkats as Durrell have just opened a new desert landscape enclosure with a meerkat dome, yes, you can get face to face! Have no doubt that I will be posting a self-indulgent/proud mummy something here next week. Ishi’s birthday is also after all a time for me and Adam to marvel at the fact of his existence and I always enjoy reliving the events of Ishi’s birth, it is a bonding time for all of us. I hope you enjoy the gathering of Etsy wonders I have prepared for you, I can feel a little inspiration creeping in looking at them. Especially true of The Dream Stays With Me print (above) from Gretchen Mist, beautiful colours, they sing, I could gaze upon them all day.
