red and green things

I've still been in a bit of a funk this week. Not my usual chirpy self, instead being emotional and swearing at things. My design work is coming along nicely though so maybe it fits with that old adage about artists doing their best work when they're feeling down ;)

In lighter news, here's some red and green things that are making me happy:


Some freshly potted herbs and Cyclamen for the balcony. I always love that european red-flowers-in-planter-box thing, and these Cyclamen weren't too expensive and apparently love the cold. Perfect!


A gorgeous handbound book sent to me by Nicole of Freshly Blended. Sooo cute, and so well made! It's related to a little collaboration we've got in the works :)

Aaand...


... a new shoulderbag from Mattt! This one features the limited edition ginkgo print on natural hemp canvas. It was a custom job for Mattt, which is why I had a bit of the print on cream available last week. He also has this print in Pumpkin, and you buy them online here.

I've got more Ginkgo on the way actually, in another new colourway. Exciting :)

Caramel Butterway

Haha oops the title of this post was supposed to say "caramel and butter colourway". My brain isn't working on this chilly Monday morning, and I'm not much in the mood for work at all. I don't often feel uninspired to work... but last week was a real doozie (what does that word mean anyway?) and I'm feeling completely spent.

Some cool stuff - becky the lady I mentioned in my last post send through these pics of some very cute clutch bags she made with the Riverstones and Flowing Dots fabric, which are for sale in her shop:



And here are some samples of the caramel and butter colourway that Becky custom ordered, which will also be available in my shop in a little while:


Colourful!
