Update

So since I last posted I have been keeping myself fairly busy, thanks to people for the sweet comments regarding my last post - it means a lot. x

I have a new hair cut my friend did it for me, I know it's not everyones cup of tea, but I like the change, I have re-coloured it since the below pic, it's now a 'poppy red'...

I have also broken my graphics tablet :( so have done a couple of WIWT drawings by hand, I have such a rubbish selection of colours, so they aren't as 'correct' as my digital ones...

A little while ago I was doing some square bears - an I have finished them now and I think they look pretty cute I am not sure what to do with them now though...

I have been doing so many handmade stickers lately, they are a great way to take your mind of anything, I highly recommend making some. 

They are all available for swapping too apart from the 2x doughnuts.

You can see all of them on my flickr here : here

Finally we all went up to Birmingham to see manowar at the weekend, it was so awesome, bit a of blur - but I had a great time..Photo is by my friend tom. (more on my facebook)

Hail!

goodbye lucy

This isn't the kind of thing I would normally talk about publicly, but I am finding it really hard to cope, so I just need to let it out. Please don't feel like you must reply.

One of my best friends body's was found in a river at the weekend, she was so beautiful and talented. I will miss her so much.

The whole things is very surreal, me and a friend will be going by her flat today to sort through some of her stuff, it will be hard, but I think it will be good healing too.

Half of me wants to stay here and deal with it, but the other half wants to run away. Grief is a very strange emotion, I don't feel myself at the moment, everything is different.

I wanted to share this picture of her, so even people who never met her can see her. She was really special and will be greatly missed.

At least now, she will finally be at peace.

R.I.P Lucy

sewing :D

I usually only do machine sewing, but since getting into swapbot I have been really enjoying hand sewing again, particularly with felt, I love not having to hem anything :D

Here are a few of my recently finished or in-the-process-of projects from last week ...

^ I made this  jumper for a friend in a swap, it's based on one I made for my doll, but much smaller scale. She loved the fabric, and was pleased with it when she got it :D

 ^ This is a brooch I made as a little extra for a recent swap, I know she loves Matryoshka Dolls and I have wanted an excuse to make a Matryoshka-something for ages!

^ I am also in the middle of making some 'square-bears' hehe.

I love the little eyes, I have been looking for ages to find some flat professional bear eyes at 3mm - so was really happy to find some I really like AND the right scale.

Other news... I went to my boyfriends gig on Friday but it ended up getting canceled - which was a shame, but it meant we just hung with the band in the pub, which turned out to be pretty hilarious... But hopefully the next one wont get cancelled!

My boyfriends band is called Grimace they play death metal, if you are interested you can hear them on myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/grimaceuk

last week...

The below pic show a recent puki scale commission I finished, I love making tiny tings :D
It was actually for a tiny brownie doll, but lilith was a perfect model, I included the polka dot bow and teddy bear as free gifts.

 

I'm currently working on the illustration for a children's book with a friend, it is about a jazz cat. It's really early days but great fun drawing in point perspective again, I usually only draw characters - so doing backgrounds and scenes is a fun challenge X3 

I'll prob get some pics up on here soon.

I have also got some great new stock in from mimiwoo, you will be able to find it via my ebay sales soon.

shoes, boots, glasses, longs socks and some more stuff :D

cone head

My poor little kitten 'pocky' has just been spay, so she is really soppy and cuddly, she has to wear a buster collar for 10 days, it's so hard watching her try to scratch and wash but not being able to.

She keeps bumping into walls and things, cute but sad too.

But she is coping really well, I got her a cat nip toy and loads of treats for when she is better.

 

hehe, yawny cat

new year, new goals

So I decided to set up a blog, to try and organize my life a bit better...
But I have no idea how to cusomise, so.. could be a while before it actually looks okay.

In the meantime, I have given maya new wig for the new year :

Plus I have made a new banner for my etsy shop:

 Although I am not sure if I actually like it, so it wont stay for very long ....

Still feeling pretty blue, hopefully this will be a good year and I can start feeling better again.
