Postcard/ greetings card that I have created for my catalogue. At the moment I'm more tempted to use it as a post card. We'll just see
This postcard is now available at here for £1.50

Notepad

I've sent my product designs off to the printers today. I am excited and nervous at the same time, I'm still waiting to hear back from the events organiser, but if all goes to plan, I should have my stall in Stirling last month. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that none of the various cogs in my plan fail on me.

Scottea time!

Another little greetings card done! I'm going to need help selecting which ones to get  printed for the trade/ craft fair.

Two Peas in a Pod greetings card



I'm getting closer! Here's a new greetings card that I've designed, I've got a few more to go, and then hopefully I should have my collection in a more acceptable capacity to send on to publishers/ retail to take my images. 

 I received an ink stamp today, so I've made a start on some 500 bags that I've got to get stamped up for the trade fair next month.

More patterns ^_^


I designed this pattern for a friend's birthday, as she wants to make a nightie out of it and said that she couldn't find any fabric with (red) squirrels  on it anywhere. She also wanted foxes, but personally, I like my woodland animals (unless they're the same size in real life) split up, so I made one design with just the squirrels, which I am CONSIDERING turning into cushions, if I can feel convinced that they will sell. I might might might also create a separate design with just the foxes too, but that's when I've got everything else that I need done and dusted.


Eventually they will be available here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KitchenCrawlies?ref=hdr_shop_menu

Squirrel fabric

So I'm designing some fabric as a gift to a friend. She wants red squirrels and foxes, the only problem is that I'm having to learn to draw foxes- look at their anatomy etc. I've got all the squirrels and little bits and bobs done... just the foxes...

Scotland tote

So I've been chipping away these past few weeks. Even though I'm sure that I've been working hard, I never seem to get as much done as I'd like to do, and I'm running a little low on money. Being the stubbon little girl that I am, I know that I want to work for myself, (and I've always preferred cats to people anyway...) so I'm going to start doing craft fairs and try to get some more business for my Etsy.

 A lovely craft fair organiser has offered me a free table, so, come next month (I'm still waiting on funding to order stock) I will be (assuming my stock arrives in time) doing one, either in Buchanan Galleries, or the Thistle shopping centre in Stirling. Watch this space! You can purchase the tote here
