Psychedelic

When I designed my current range of fabrics and ordered sample swatches, it included this fabric design which I originally created a little while ago as a background banner for my sister.

I just happened to show the sample swatch to Cathy at around the same time as I was racking my brain trying to come up with a handmade birthday pressie.

I completely forgot to take any photos after I'd finished, so I had to wait until she unwrapped it, and then I snapped a couple of quick iPhone photos... the outside

... and the Kindle Touch snuggled up inside (check out the matchy matchy lining - Linear in Tangerine)


But do you know what I was more impressed by?

Cathy's amazing homemade cream buns - heaven!

I forgot the camera so I only have an iPhone snap

It was my sister's birthday yesterday, and a very special one at that!

I don't bake these days, but lucky for me, I know someone who is an exceptionally talented baker and cake maker....

I asked Cathie to make a chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache, and OMG it was absolutely delicious.

The boys loved the decorative stars, and even sang a special rendition of 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' before we all joined in to sing Happy Birthday.

She received a new Kindle for Christmas so I made a Kindle Sleeve to protect it while it's in her handbag.

Happy Birthday Rach!

Busy Busy...

It's one of those weeks where everything is happening at once...

I don't have any photos of lastnight's wonderful Open Studio Event just yet, but I'll share them as soon as I do.

Unfortunately, I'd managed to take along a dodgy oxygen bottle as a back up. Once I removed the seal and changed it over, I found that it was actually EMPTY!

In much better news, these lovely new iPad and Kindle/eReader sleeves are now in stock at Little Shop Of...

Get in quick while they last!
