First Toy Fair


This Sunday I did my first Toy Fair where I attempted to sell some cards and gift tags I had made. Yes, I know its a bit early for christmas cards but I felt like having a go at making them. If you were wondering the pink blob in front of the teapot card is meant to be a teapot but got a bit deformed in the process of sewing it together. I think it was pretty good for a first attempt ;) I will be making some more things, now I have a thirst for selling at fairs I may have to do a craft fair soon so I have the right clientele. Strangely, there weren't many proper toys for a toy fair, mostly collectors models.

English Country Garden


I've had to make some trips into Bristol city centre this week and decided to take my camera to see if I could get some nice photos of the slightly posher area of the city. 

Firstly I 'climbed' up Brandon Hill to see Cabot Tower and got some pics of the views from up there.


I love all the little winding paths you could take to get to the top. 


I was happy to get a photo of some of the ice-cream coloured houses we seem to have. This is for you Kristi






Squirrel burying his nuts. Lol




Some cool street art you might find around Bristol.

National Wear a Tea Cosy On Your Head Day



Just walking around town in Bristol today and saw a sign on the White Stuff store front for 'National Wear a Tea Cosy On Your Head Day' and wondered why I didn't know about this before. Therefore I thought I would spread the news incase I miss it next year.

Well hello there



Recently a few of my friends came down to Bristol so I had the opportunity to be a tour guide. I took them around the shopping centre Cabot Circus and to Cheddar. My friend who is also a designer has just started a blog and has uploaded some photos from the weekend.
