You’re doing just fine card

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

“I’ll never be like other people, but that’s okay because I’m a bear” some Paddington wisdom for your Saturday afternoon – i hope you’re doing just fine on this grey drizzly day! I’m just popping on to let you know that these marmalade cards have just been added to my website – there’s a link in my bio .

Close thinking

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Need to do some Close Thinking? Perhaps you need a walk along Action Avenue, or a visit to Idea Street?
.

I’ve listed this little map over on my website (there’s a link in my bio) it’s the same map that is included in my Finding Inspiration picture, and based on a section of Gloucester Road in Bristol (but it’s probably a fairly accurate representation of what it looks like inside my head! ?) The perfect gift for the creative in your life (I wont mention the C word again quite yet) there is just this one available, so if you’d like it, don’t get distracted and turn down Blind alley!
.
Have a great Friday. Meet you in Time for a cuppa Crescent?

Playing with paint

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

I had great fun splattering fabric paint ? over material, my workshop and all over myself yesterday (sadly it was only once I got home from the school run that I realised I had been sporting a yellow eyebrow ?) I wanted to make some maker badges that looked like they were cut from a painters apron – like a maker had made them ?. There are a few different wording options, which I’ve listed over on my website now.
Have a great day xxx

Makers banner

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

I’m so pleased that my makers banners are getting lots of love, because I really love them too! My main criteria for printing on to fabric was that I really wanted the option of being able to personalise/embellish the final piece, and I’m just loving all the words of wisdom that you’re asking me to sew!
.
There is still another week until half term here, but I’ve already got my next design planned out, so that I can grab any quiet moments to bring it to life ?

Celebrate every tiny victory

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

How often do you whizz through life without stepping back to take stock of what you’ve accomplished? How often do you use the word ‘just’ when describing your efforts?
.
My homework for you this week is to celebrate all of the little victories… I’ll start you off, I’m celebrating that I’ve been to the post office every day for the past fortnight (and sending a massive thank you for keeping me busy while I’m at it!) what are you celebrating? Comment below and I’ll give you a big cheer!!
.
Have a great week xxx
.
Ps sorry for the very annoying dog hair on this flag … I’m just calling it Molly’s contribution to the task .. maybe she barked at a cat or something!

Go at your own tempo

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

A piacere – tempo is at the discretion or pleasure of the performer
.
How often do you look around, notice what everyone else is doing and realise how much better they’re doing and quicker they’re getting there than you? Its far too easy to get so caught up with what other people are doing that we forget to live our own lives and work towards our own goals at our own speed.
.
Life is not a race; embrace the pace of your own journey. Enjoy your week playing a piacere
. . .
Ps if you’ve spent any period of time in the company of a metronome, you’ll know why the sounds off for this one ? .

Jam today or jam tomorrow

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

I’ve been stitching my way through orders and new ideas this week so I’m cheating and posting an oldie today. .
I’ll be expanding the selection of cards I have next week with more food pictures, so if there is a card or print that you’ve been waiting for (ketchup is one I get a lot of requests for) please shout! meanwhile, I asked over on stories if there were any other foods I should make and the resounding response was tea, crisps and curly whirlies so I’ll be getting to them as soon as a can! .
Happy Friday everyone x
