All the 12's!

I have a thing with numbers I get excited when the spot i clock at the moment it reads 12.34!
Our first daughter was born at 1.23am
My cousin was born 7-7-77
I like these, I don't know why they please me so but they do so you can imagine how today is 12-12-12!

I thought to mark it I'd pick 12 sites I love and that help this time of year (all year round really) for fabulous treats and gifts so here we go....

Loving The Performers


As a fan of Famille Summerbelle and the lovely Julie I was not disappointed when I logged on and read the recent post showing the latest collection "The Performers". I also feel very happy as I now feel I've found 'the cushion' for the nursery! Also a mug or two for me!
If you'd like any of these products by Famille Summerbelle pop across to their website (link above) to be treated to a great assortment of products with great shipping prices too.
If you're looking to be a stockist and visiting Maison et Objet go by their stand and get a real treat by viewing the collection for yourself.

fabulous prints, great studios, happy designers

These three go together, they're the perfect trio and also exactly what you need when finding good prints for products.
In my many years of designing for small brands, big brands, niche, high street and studios where you're not always in the know as to who the client is and what the end product will be I've always been fortunate to be happy in what I'm doing.
Well with the time of year turning to trade shows again it's a busy time for designers and studios getting together all their prints ready to sell sell sell!
Here are some snippets from studio Cinnamon Joe, they have a jolly diverse portfolio and have taken on fresh talent in the past few months if you like any of these sneak peaks or anything on their website just give them a call, they're happy to chat and lovely too.

Farewell Paper Runway

I was saddened to see in my inbox this morning the news that Paper Runway will be no more. Nikee and Maree were sad to announce the news that due to unforeseen circumstances Paper Runway will not be releasing any forthcoming issues. Issue 4 and 5 will be available for purchase until sold out.

For those of you not familiar with Paper Runway it's an independent publication that is designed, made and printed in Australia. It is 'passion for paper' a subject close to my heart. The content is refreshing, unique and inspiring, packed with inspirational images, exciting yet simple DIY projects and beautiful products, reviews and interviews. Here are a few images and a sad bye bye x

celebrate Olympics with ......

some fab finds from Etsy plus one from the new kids home H&M collection we had to sneak in!

Well, helloooo and happy Friday all, and happy Olympic friday too.
To mark the occasion we have handpicked these cheery finds and filled the Olympic rings to delight you, enjoy your day and remember we love to hear from you x

turned to a tea-pot and messyfish......

The morning routine always would include a pot of coffee, it still does just I'm not drinking it at the moment. I've turned to tea and it's usually a bag in a mug kind of approach, this changes through the day as fresh leaves get picked from the herb beds. This mornings find however has made me think I really need to do a pot of tea.....why?
Because check out this knitted gem by Etsy seller MessyFishDotCom
Padovimbro Tea Cosy



Here are more treats by this seller for those who are not big on tea just love a bit of quirky knitting....
Rabbit (Cushion)



And finally if knit doesn't rock your boat these gorgeous prints surely will..

grey

Sad to say this post again is related to the weather and unlike the blue post where the weather was not getting me now I'm now on the brink of changing my mind. The relentless wet weather seems to be not letting up and even when I look 5-10 days ahead there is the rain cloud symbol on each day. Despite the popularity of clouds in the creative world when it comes to the sky I'd love to blow them away, this is backed up by my two girls too!
Grey however can and is a gorgeous colour, and these fabulous finds back that thought up nicely!

If you like the colour grey check out an earlier post 'grey & happy'

transformer tuesday #19

Really our time is getting more and more tight especially as mini1 has all day at her pre-school now and we don't have her help come Tuesdays when we are transforming. End of term madness plus new projects I've taken on on top of the already full day(s).

Today however minimini1 was keen to get out the paints and I had a whole load of boxes and such for the recycle bin so what better than pick one of them and add it to the paints, gluppy glue and make an owl or two!

The fun recycled object we saved from the recycle bin was a egg box and here is what we made of it!

blue

I can't resist a post on blue following the yellow post a couple of weeks ago. Our mood is not blue in fact we are quite sunny today (inside) having done some lovely paintings with the girls and just now made a delicious cake for this afternoon's indoor treat.
No, I'm going with blue because of the relentless rain we are getting, today is set for the worst rainfall to date this 'summer' and although it sometimes feels a little draining our roses are very happy and these blue finds are beautiful....
