The Bright Lights of Broadway.

The summer holidays have finally arrived and I have had a flurry of nice projects and good news...

This is Edith.

She is my doll on the very first part of her journey as part of the Doll Consequences project this year, organised by the wonderful Lucy Jane Batchelor. Over the next nine months some very talented young ladies will be making a doll, and sending it to the next and continuing the chain until all nine of us have a spectacular textile character customised by each and every one of us.

But I can only show you a little bit of her....as it's a secret for the other doll makers.....

In other news I will be a regular member of Broadway Market every Saturday from now until after Christmas, so do come and say hello, it is a very lovely place to be of a Saturday strolling along the canal.

Bits and Pieces.

A quick post to let you all know what the blazes I have been doing.....

I have had some splendid news from lovely Lucy Jane Batchelor of young Ernest there guarding his chair until his little owner is big enough to sit in it. I'm so pleased he has settled in!

Delightful images by a favourite of mine Hannah Waldron on the wall too....

Also I shall be making an appearance at the 1st Edition Summer Craft Market so please come and say hello and marvel at lovely handmade goodness.

This morning I received these lovely blue objects to make lovely things from!

The bear chocolate packaging will stand pride of place.

I am currently rounding up all my crafty bits and pieces to send off to the Brighton Art Fair, which is on from October 1st-4th. The lovely boys from Just Us are holding a stand for all members of the collective to sell our work, so there will be stacks of snazzy things to buy.
