Treasury and Birthday Girl!

Happy weekend! Another busy week has sped by and a nice, sunny Saturday has arrived again. I managed to grab a treasury slot this morning and thought I'd go for a honeymoon theme seeing as I have been looking out for nice summer bits for ours. We haven't booked anything yet but hoping to go somewhere warm. Woo! So here's my holiday wishlist including some stripes (as always) and some splashes of my new favourite colour, yellow.



More importantly, it's my neice's 9th birthday today. Happy Birthday Niamh! She loves animals especially cats and foxes so here's her personalised Storeyshop cat card. I'm liking the animal theme even if it does make me think of the Whiskas cat food logo!

Storeyshop On The Front Page of Etsy!

Not only is there a Storeyshop card on the front page of Etsy but I have actually seen it! I have had a few front page features before but never ever seen one in real time. Thank you so much to FluffyFlowers for being more on the ball and letting me know. How appropriate too as it is my very handsome fiance's birthday tomorrow!



I am so, so busy with card orders but had to have a little break to get a screen shot of that. I also managed to nab a treasury at the weekend and filled it with all things wedding! I think it may have expired by now but do give me a shout if you would like to find any of the lovely items and I will let you know where you can get your hands on them.

Twins!

I love making cards for twins! I have made a few double personalised orders now with one card for each twin that match but aren't completely identical. I am looking forward to making more too. Here are the latest sets..






I am back designing the magazine for the next couple of weeks so Storeyshop will be a bit quieter in terms of new listings. I am still around though making a few card orders and packing up bags and monkeys. It is a nice break to get off the computer for an hour or so to hand-cut a card or wrap up a Storeyshop item and wander down to the post office.

'We Make Christmas' craft fair is coming up soon too in London. More details about that soon!

Guess What?

Yep. More personalised cards! Here are my latest creations...











Hope you like them. Cards are available to order from Storeyshop

Back In The City

I'm in London today. It's a gorgeous sunny day and I'm in the office working on the magazine. It's a quiet spell so I thought I'd update my blog. I came down Monday morning and finished off a sock monkey on the journey. I'm sure the train guard walked past an exra few times trying to work out what I was doing.

Here's a photo of him all finished sitting comfortably for the rest of the journey!



This week has been really busy but good fun and a nice change to working on my lonesome at home. It has been a bit of a break for my scalpel fingers but I have still been getting orders and making them after work and during lunch hours. I have just made a card for someone's aunt who is about to turn 100. How cool is that?!



More cards to make after work tonight and then I'm back on the train heading home. I'm glad. London was always a bit too hectic for me and, now that I'm used to the rural countryside, it's even more so. A couple more crammed tube and train journeys and then back to the fields.

Here are some photos of the Chinese New Year lights on Oxford Street..
