MATT HAWKINS!

Just discovered these immense Paper sculptures by genius illustrator Matt Hawkins!

GROWTHS!

My herbs have sprouted! Maybe this time I won't let them perish before they've even come close to soup or pesto stage!

DEER OH DEER!

Although I definitely support animal rights, in a fantastical, imagine you're in EYES WIDE SHUT or something, sense... the antler room in SCHLOSS MORITZBURG, a baroque castle in Saxon Germany is AMAAAAAZING! Which brings me neatly round to showcasing my latest range... on sale at the website sooooon! I think it's called "DEEP IN THE WOODS!" after the Birthday Party song!

LE FROMAGE QUI VIT!

Taking my obsession with food packaging into another new chapter... Vintage Cheese Spread Labels!!! :-D

VERMILYEA MONSTER PIZZAFEST!!!

RISOTTO FARE DI MIO!

I know my Italian is terrible! But my Italian cooking's not quite as bad! Just had a well good risotto with bargain basement veg. Checkit! x

SHIP-SHAPED!

After the turbulence and trauma of last summer, came a european tour, then studio/bedroom hibernantion of my xmas BUG POP workshop, then an Italian tour, and then the luxurious escapism of a tropical holiday!!! This series of events did not bode well for my housekeeping upkeep! TO SAY THE LEAST! Today, after swapping some furniture with my mum, I FINALLY took the whole day to re-arrange and clean up my living room, and I am so glad I did! I'm in heaven right now. Had to share a picture! I wonder how long it will take to descend into chaos?! Here's hoping it will stick!

HOLIDAY!!!

Oh, just a few holiday snaps y'know! Nothing major! Not like I went snorkelling for the first time. Or saw sharks, rays, fruit-bats, and dolphins! Totally didn't end the holiday on my 29th birthday with a candle-lit dinner on the beach of a tiny Island in the Indian Ocean or anything!!! Sorry, who am I?!?!? :-D I reeeeeally needed to get away. No laptop, no work, no TV's, no newspapers, nothing. The whole world could have crumbled while we were away and it couldn't have hurt me. I ended 2011 covered in stress-related skin mess-ups, and prescriptions, and started 2012 with a tan and a perma-grin! I feel lucky, to say the least!
