Sunshine and springiness

Yay! All that lovely sunshine today must surely mean that spring is indeed here at long last?!

My weekend consisted of making birthday cakes, enjoying the spring sunshine by going to the seaside, eating fish and chips and doing some work. Nothing exciting but a nice weekend all the same.

I have a busy week ahead making 30 Bright Ideas for L'Oreal HQ, sending out orders, designing new things and working on my commission for Snowhome (more to come on this very soon.) I need the sunshine to spur me on as I feel a bit tired and it's only Monday.

A couple of weeks ago I did a blog interview for the lovely Clare and Anthony at Plaisir - a fine little shop in Biggar, Scotland. They posted it at the weekend and here it is. Not only do they have a great shop but like me they love their cake too. 'Cake of the week' part of their website is obviously a favourite of mine!

All things baby

It's been a busy January. I know we're not at the end just yet but it feels like it's been a long month to me. I've been busying away with printing and orders. My Not On The High Street shop is proving to be busy meaning many more trips to the Post Office. Martha (our not quite yet 2 year old) is getting very familiar with the Post Office routine now!

I mentioned in December about some design work I'd been commissioned to do for a London baby boutique called So Tiny London. That's finished now and the results are above. The brief was to create a black and white design to be used on shop branded cards/business cards incorporating the shop name in my hand-drawn type with lots of baby things surrounding it. A candy-shop of baby bits and bobs.

I had fun doing it and re-visiting all those baby things which our little girl is growing out of so fast!
