Todays a Good Day

Today has started off well, maybe that penny I picked up yesterday in the rain is bringing me some good luck......

A fellow tweeter informed me that she loves my Pixie Earrings featured on the front page of Not Mass Produced online shop.  This pleased me no end.  These earrings are a great little seller and I adore the pale aqua colour of these ones.

Then I realised today was the day that my interview with Scottish Textile designer and Illustrator Gillian Kyle was to be published on the UK Handmade Blog.

I have been a fan of Gillians work a while after seeing her products at a stall in Glasgow.

UK Handmade is a fabulous resource for UK based designers and crafters, not only does it produce an invaluable blog, but publishes an online magazine four times a year.  I have recently started contributing to UK Handmade, this is my first blog post for them. 

 UK Handmade was set up by Karen Jinks who is the Creative Director, to find out more about Karens work and UK Handmade please visit

Yoga Eye Pillows.....

Yoga Eye Pillow in Lavender Gingham

I'm partial to a spot of yoga, but after all that hard work - what better way to completely chill out at the end of a session?

These eye pillows are handmade using soft cotton gingham (trimmed on one side with lace and ribbon) and filled with organic wheat and French Lavender which releases the most wonderful aroma. Lavender helps to aid relaxtion - and these pillows are great for aiding sore eyes, soothing headaches - not just for use after yoga. Complete bliss......

Peek Into My Week......

Its been a busy little week so far, and it's not over yet....here's a little snippet of what's been happening.....

Monday saw my Gift Wrapped and Gorgeous shop unveiled. I am totally delighted to be a Partner Company with GWAG, all under one roof you will find a great selection of handmade products from art & interiors to jewellery and bags by British Designers. Check out my page at http://www.giftwrappedandgorgeous.co.uk/supplier_1060-products.htm.

Tuesday I was busy ordering vintage fabrics to make into Boudoir Bags, making orders - earrings and hairpins were the thing this week, and spending far too much time on Twitter!

Wednesday was my "day off" from Mimi Pearl as I went to work with the talented Nadin Dunnigan http://www.nadindunnigan-photography.co.uk. Approached by Artlink, who I have exhibited with twice recently about the possibility of me providing workshops.

Thurdsay saw me working on a new pieces for the Line Gallery (exhibition starts 20February), Gail was loving the little Boudoir Bags I put in to compliment the jewellery. I then started work on my book review for UK Handmade, the Japanese decorative papers I ordered for the review arrived (total yummy!) - more to come on this later, then listed a few new things with my other online stockist Not Mass Produced.

And here we are at Friday....what will today bring?
