My Tigerprint Prize

So I made top 5 in Fun Pet photography competition. Unfortunately I didn't place first but I was one of the 4 runner up's out of 200 entries and received this lovely prize and card from the Tigerprint team this morning. Thank you very much and I'll be sure to get a bone for the little star - Freddie.

Tigerprint - Fun Pet Photography

So here are the Top 15 Entries for Tigerprint's Fun Pet Photography competition. The bottom left is one of my entries of my Sister's Dog Freddie wearing shades. I'm so pleased to see it in the Top 15 as there were over 200 entries so quite an achievement if I do say so myself. Will I make it to top 5? Who knows! They are being announced later so I'll keep you posted. I think you'll agree there's some tough competition so it really is any one's guess as to which photos the judge's will pick.

When technology meets crafting!

This is the coolest iPhone case in the world. I was recently on Pearl & Earls blog when I saw a post about this cross stitch iPhone case. I tracked it down on a Korean website and ordered one straight away. However when it arrived I spent a lot of time thinking about my design as I didn't want to just copy one that was in the pack. I have a whole book filled with sayings and quotes that I love and this is one I thought would work best on the case and brighten up my day! The best thing about this product is that I'm the only one thats has this design on my iPhone. I'm not sure how long the stitching will last but if it does start to fall apart it just gives me the opportunity to create something new. (Maybe something using buttons!)

Cake Cards

New M.O.S. advert

Here's the latest magazine ad that I have created for M.O.S. it's only a small ad in the magazine but may also end up as the new artwork for the van so it's very exciting.

A few recent cards...

Personal Handmade Card

This is a card I made for my Sister's Birthday! I saw this lovely saying and it couldn't be more true in describing how I feel about my Sister and our relationship. It may be simple but nothing else needs to be said so I got creative and made my first handmade photo card. I'm very lucky to have a great Sister and a brilliant Family! Love you all xx

Rejuvenated Bed Frame

So you may remember a few post ago I spoke about having a go at furniture painting and that I had brought a double bed frame for our spare room which was going to be my test piece.

Well here's a photo of how it looks now and I think you'll agree it looks completely transformed from the tatty antique pine it was before.

I absolutely love it, I'm so pleased with how it turned out and I've since brought a few more piece's to paint and sell so if your interested in my future piece's watch this space!!!

House & Furniture

So we've been in our house for a while now and it's finally getting a personality.

Here are some snaps of our beachy bathroom, with some photo frames I white washed and distressed to add texture. The panoramic shot is of my dog Alfie and is featured in Halcrow's 2011 Corporate Calendar.

There are now a few splashes of colour around the house to break up the vast amount of Magnolia walls. The brown wall has the added feature of some beautiful vinyl wall stickers that I found online and I am so pleased with the crisp line outcome. Next after not liking the previous two colours I created my own shade of green and its perfect with our lovely second hand limed oak sideboard. Finally there is a bold splash of purple. It's only a small wall so it's not to out there but I intend to keep adding to the hand painted black photo frames with my black & white prints as I love my photo memories being on display.

After all these small creative projects and a few months research I have decided that I really want to take the next step and start painting and redesigning old furniture. My first project is going to be this tatty bed frame. It's a lovely solid frame but has seen a fair amount of use and now needs some TLC. Hopefully all will go well and this will lead to a new career redesigning and rejuvenating furniture to sell on. That's the plan anyway so watch this space and wish me luck!
