Neon Monkeys!

I have another sock monkey production line on the go! They are all lined up along the back of the sofa in various stages of development. I'm stocking up for We Make. The newest monkeys in the range are neon and are looking fab. I do have a bit of a thing for neon!





The design job I mentioned a couple of blogs ago is now 'on hold' which is a shame but, nevermind. All the better to concentrate on Storeyshop and learning web design. I kept saying I wasn't going to hold my breath about that job too. It's funny how you get a feeling about these things..

I had a fab birthday! I managed to celebrate for 4 days, ate lots of nice food, saw my friends and family and got lots of nice presents. I like being 27 so far! This week I'm working in London again on Cosmopolitan magazine. It's good. I'm enjoying being back in the city but am also looking forward to getting back to Storeyshop. Beca has started printing her own fabric and it looks so nice! She has made me some to make little bags out of, looking forward to creating those!

The posters are going up around London for 'We Make'. Beca is hand-printing paper bags and business cards and I am thinking up new card designs. Woo hoo, not long now!

Twenty Seven

I've been scalpel-happy again for the last couple of days and have come up with lots more generic card designs which will all be on show (and for sale!) at We Make London







Of course, the new card designs will all be available through Storeyshop online as usual too!

Life away from Storeyshop brings my birthday next monday! I'm very excited. I'm like a small child and get excited about my birthday as soon as May starts. I'm actually booked to freelance on my birthday and for the rest of that week so my celebrations will be all weekend instead! We are heading down to sunny Sussex By The Sea tomorrow night and will be out and about shopping and eating nice food in Brighton for a few (hopefully sunny) days with all my friends and family. Woo hoo!

We Make London

The craft fair 'We Make London' is fast approaching and Beca and I are busy making new Storeyshop goodies to take along! Hopefully Storeyshop will be featured on the We Make blog soon too. Have a look at the blog for details of all the other sellers who will be at the fair and for links to their Etsy shops if you can't make it to London to see them. There are some gorgeous things!

I'm creating a new range of generic greetings cards to sell at the fair. Here's the latest..

I'm Back!

My, how times flies when you're freelancing! It has been a while but I am back. I have been doing freelance design at various design companies in London and Newcastle over the last month, all of which has been very hectic and busy. Much as I like the fast pace (and getting out there working with other human beings again!) I am happy to be back at the kitchen table concentrating on Storeyshop once more.

I have been keeping up to date with sales and orders, both of which have been fairly regular I'm pleased to say! Now I need to restock and made lots of new products. The Craft Fair in London is rapidly approaching so lots of monkeys, bags, cards and other Storeyshop goodies need stock-piling!

The best way to get sales must definitely be to plan a craft fair. Try and make lots of products for itand they all sell straight away! Not that I am complaining at all. Like they say on that Shreddies advert, "We'll knit/sew/scalpel more!"

Here are some of my creations so far this week:
