Remember my doilies? Sure you do! Well I delivered most of my existing stock over to Nelly's Treasures in Cardiff Fashion Quarter this week. Where apparently they are being admired by one and all! Does this mean that I can officially say my work sells in two countries now?! It definitely means I can start working on all new stock... Awww yisssss!

Howdy there! Today I bring you pictures! Pictures of a special one-off gift I made for my International Twin, Sally . Jazzy potatoes One Elvis tote in crazy bright pop art colours that will either go with ALL of her outfits or NONE of her outfits. Handy! I made this from a pillowcase, hence the way none of the frills match. In other news I have been looking over old pictures - like this one: Gawthic potatoes And pining for the days of yore when I used to make rad stuff like this. And getting excited about maybe possibly doing more stuff like this. So I might. This post was brought to you today by Bodger and Badger.

I moved cities, it was bonkers. But enough about me! Let's talk about my craft! What have I been doing all this time?! Firstly I took part in the Second 50-50 Affordable Art Show run by Kooki Two Bit . I was unable to attend (due to moving priorities) and didn't sell anything but was still stoked to be a part of it! Secondly I made some Things for my stall: Various hairslides and bits of jewellery (including sweater guards!) Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Hamdbags! I will [hopefully] be selling these and much more at Rumble in the Jumble (Sixty Million Postcards), Bournemouth, TOMORROW! Anything leftover will more than likely be added to my Folksy shop . I'll also have handmade cards, more hairslides and badges! And that's (some of) what I've been doing!
