shabby credit card pouches

A couple of weeks ago - I decided to make some credit card/business card pouches for my Etsy and Madeit Stores.  I enjoyed doing them so much, I have now become obsessed with making ipod cases/pouches!

Is it just me or does everyone get carried away with new ideas???  I seem to get an idea for a new product and then want to make heaps of them.  Eventually, I become inspired elsewhere and start on something else.  Never a dull moment...

Hope you enjoy the range :-)

luciles kitchen - inspiration

I think I first discovered luciles kitchen in an treasury on Etsy.

If you haven't had the good fortune of knowing this Etsy store, well ...  I'll enlighten you ...
First of all Lucile is French, draws food (mostly) and illustrates/paints in different mediums incorporating text in her work.  I just love her pencil/watercolours!

I was instantly  taken by Lucile's work and bought a print for my birthday this year.  It now takes pride of place in my studio where it inspires me daily.

Here's some more of her lovely pieces...

Fabulous Friday

... so today I was featured in a treasury on Etsy - (which is always a great surprise and honour), and then someone discovered my pots on Facebook and have asked me for a custom listing!

Wow ... it doesn't get much better than that.

Life's good.  Do what you love and nice things will happen.

Girl with a Parasol ...

To create original and memorable art, I must stay on track and maintain that focus.
