I’m back working on fab craft mag, Craftseller after an eight month maternity break and I’m being super-inspired by just about everything in the forthcoming issue! They have just had a new redesign and I love the new look! Check out the Craftseller blog for lots of tips, inspiration and more! Better still, buy the mag :-)

This cat and bear ears bag by the supremely talented Ella Goodwin is on my must-have list – what a cute idea! See her fab store on Etsy

You gotta love old Lichtenstein – and he’s all over the place at the mo as a mini pop art revival is underway. I have my eye on this fab ‘Hopeless’ cushion cover available for £15 from the Tate online shop. Visit shop.tate.org.uk to see all their other goodies!

Owl be blown!

Owl storage jars

With Spring in the air (yes and snow and sleet etc too) I thought these woodland kitchen accessories would bring a touch of whimsy to the kitchen….

Owl biscuit barrel £32, Owl storage jar, £35, Owl spaghetti jar £37…

bird egg cups

How about your eggies in a birdy egg cup? (£12.95 a pair) - all Graham & Green.

There are loads of fox designs about at the mo, but Felix the Fox by designer Sarah Young is by far my favourite! This brilliant foxy cut-out-and-make cloth kit doubles as a tea towel – neato!

I’ve been busy…

Apologies for such a massive gap in posting – I have been off having a baby who is now 6 months old, and I’m back in the blogging saddle now – raring to go! So as soon as I spot anything lovely, I will be sure to post!

Mirror, Mirror on the wall…

Oh how pretty! This beautiful lock and key mirror from Anthropologie is guaranteed to make one feel like Rapunzel (or the wicked queen from Snow White). And it’s only £12.95. Just need to get a gorgeous dressing table now for it to rest on!

Swoooooooooooooooooon!

Ye Gads! Are you ready for a style and colour overload? I am aghast with the loveliness I have stumbled upon today whilst researching for a feature for Craftseller magazine. I write the best buys pages and was looking for summer essentials for crafters when I spotted Marie Perkin’s City Centre fabric – Oh how pretty! *see image above.

Further prodding about revealed Print and Pattern blog’s latest post on Brighton-based Sukie’s bloomin lovely postcard designs (below). As I am currently doing up the nursery for baby number two (due in August!) I think this would make a splendid addition!

Oh go on, one more….this foxy treat is by another home-grown talent called Scion – they are fabric desginers and I really like this little fellow!
