Thank you cat cards.....

For my Christmas thank you cards I got a little carried away with a cat theme (not sure where that idea came from!!) I'd like to continue this theme of simple illustrations on a plain background using other creatures such as dogs, chickens, goats etc! (Think I've gone a bit mad!)

Anyways...here's the cats: (!)


New ButtOns

I have recently had an order for more buttons so I thought I would share them with you.....I now create Button Badges too!
Just a little selection!
Can be made to order too......just contact me hermionerqm@hotmail.com with any design of your choice!

I'm back!

Hey all you lovely people! I have not updated on here since September which is about 5 months, terrible I know :(
So here's where I've been and what I've been up to (in a very brief, hopefully not too boring teeny tiny story!)

In September I was made redundant from my job in a glass shop, which coincidently was where i used to update my blog from time to time when it was quiet, as I had access to the internet there-and not at home. This is the main reason why I haven't been updating.
I was then offered a position as a supervisor in a clothes shop in my town where I have been for about 4 months and thoroughly enjoying it! I am only part time so I am still being a busy creative person in my free time.....many buttons have been made in this space of time!!
I also work part time (very part time) at the cinema, which is great as it's extra pocket (saving!) money, plus I get to go to the movies for fffrrreeeeee!

I received a laptop for my christmas pressie from my super duper boy! So now I have no excuses to not get my butt in gear and get on here to let you all know where I'm at, in my life and creatively!

I have many projects I can tell you about, so I'm sure I will start to get the pictures on here and share my doodles and designs......and continue to do so!

I'm also looking forward to finding out about what everyone else has been up to...... :)

Handmade wrapping paper...

Just drew some little birds all over a sheet of white tissue paper, it made the perfect wrapping paper for mums birthday present! Time consuming but original! :)

Big buttons!

I was commissioned by a friend (Vicky of 'Vicky's Bread' the most delicious artisan bread in the world!! Especially the Olive Bread - my fave!) to make 3 buttons with a little brooch on the back for her daughters first birthday. She wanted them for her daughter to give to her 'aunties'- her favourite big people!
I had free reign with the design, and she gave me an idea of colours/styles they like and here's what I came up with....she was very pleased with them :)
They're about 4cm diameter.
