Ottoline Dolly Give-away!

CLICK POSTER TO ENLARGE




Well, as promised, here is a selection of some of the things I have finished for the shop.
There will be four dollies, prints, post cards and some other curiosities....
To celebrate, I'm giving one of my dollies away, one of the Ottoline's you can see in the picture above :0)
All you need to do to enter the draw, is leave a comment telling me what your favourite fairy tale, poem, book or song is, and why! I'll put all the names in a hat and first one out wins a dolly! This competition is open to anyone and everyone, so give it a go!

Good luck!

Love,

Batten down the Hatches!!



I'm locking the doors...
I may even light the fire!
It has been raining here for weeks...and weeks...and weeks...
Now, please don't misunderstand, I am a fan of rain...up to a point!
Everything is so much more difficult in the rain...it really is.
Trying to get a heavy car seat, with a heavy baby in it, out of the back seat of a three door car, whilst trying to keep her dry and an A1 sized package, containing precious artwork from falling in a puddle....
Then trying to assemble a buggy, which always fits together perfectly when the sun is shining, but will not GO TOGETHER IN THE RAIN! Aaaagh!
So, as I have only drawing and making to do for the next few days, there is absolutely no need for me to leave the house...so I'm not going to!

I've got so, so many brilliant projects on at the moment. The first of the colour artwork has been posted to London for my 'Doll's House' project, and the first roughs for my black and white drawings have been given the go ahead :0)
I'm also doing some character development for a really sweet, but funny picture book.

In sewing news - I'm getting on very well (ish) with my Ottoline dollies and will be stocking the shop with lots of goodies very soon. I will be celebrating the re-stock with a MASSIVE sale, I mean C-R-A-Z-Y prices! So watch this space for the poster ;0)
I've got some snoozie Soozies to finish, with a custom order going to London!





And last but not least, Miss Sienna-Rose has begun to mutter her first words...


and they are....


"DING, DING, DING"


She is still amazingly contented and happy! Totally luck of the draw with babies as to what sort you get! I don't know how I would have coped with a crier, still, there's time yet.....eek!
We went for a girls day out to the Cotswolds on Saturday just gone, (in the rain), to visit a friend. Much cake, pizza and lemonade was scoffed!

So, I'm off to organize a few things in preperation for my lock in, I'll be back to show you my efforts in a few days!

Love,

Erica-Jane
