Battersea Affordable Art Fair
21 OctVisit London – Licensing Awards 2011 finalist!
12 OctLook lively people – this may have happened almost a whole month ago, but I was lording it up in the sunshine on my holidays then, so I didn’t know anything about it…
Turns out that the Visit London range that I worked on for Half Moon Bay last year was a finalist in this year’s Licensing Awards – how marvellous!! The products I worked on included giftware, stationery and apparel for the “Official London Merchandise”.
The brand was included in the Best Licensed Giftware category. It didn’t actually win the award, but that is a technicality – pipped to the post by ‘Nerdy’ Hello Kitty (how very dare she!).
You can see the full range of product here.

Woodland Nursery design details
18 SepI did write a post about Jet’s nursery a while ago, here. Those pics all look a bit sparse nowadays as they were taken before the smalls had even arrived. I guess we didn’t even know if she was going to be a girl or a boy then, so things were kept pretty neutral on purpose. I’m not so much of a girly girl myself, so the pink frilliness has been kept to a minimum whilst that sort of thing is still under my control!
I’ve been meaning to do a little update with some of my favourite details around the room – so here we are with a bit of extra info:
Cot: Stokke, stripe rug: Ikea
Wall stickers: cut from baize from the hardware shop, birdhouse: Asda – £4!
Ceramic tile: Rob Ryan on Etsy
Painting from the marvellous Nick Sharratt!
Fabric and wood mobile handmade from pattern here.
Alphabet print by yours truly .
The Smalls in situ. Grass rug with mushrooms: Vertbaudet (squee!) Log cushions: Deena Neimat (you gotta love those cushions!)
Daddy in situ and the egg chair I recovered with patchwork (NEVER AGAIN!).

Laser cut wedding invitations ♡
10 SepHere are some invitation designs I did for some friends of ours. I was pleased with how they turned out – I love having a play with laser cutting and it appears to be fast becoming my default wedding invitation style. I find it’s a good way of having a super-posh looking invite without it costing the earth. The only printing on here is on the inserts, so I just had to source the plain card in the right colour to send to the cutters. The inserts were done at a local print shop and I bought the self-adhesive gems from eBay. I think the whole lot came at about £175 for 100 invites and good quality envelopes (excluding design time and hand-finishing) – not a bad price for such a personal and unique invitation, eh?
It’s going to be an autumn wedding. The bridesmaids and the groomsmen’s ties are going to be in blue and they are planning to have lots of pumpkins around for decoration, so the colours should work well I think. Lovely.
