I've been reliving my youth & making salt dough decorations. Mine were a little more safe than Rob's, I used some little pastry cutters. The recipe I used was: 2 cups of plain flour 1 cup of table salt 1 cup of water Which was enough to make, well, a lot! Try it yourself, it's super fun. (but don't be tempted to eat it, it tastes... salty). ...

...markets, fabric, screen prints, & orders! Last Sunday I did Totnes Art & Craft Fair, it was a horribly wet & windy day. Which meant in turn most people were at home snuggled in front of the fire & telly, where we wanted to be. After a very slow morning we packed up early, Rob did sell a painting however, HURRAH! Totally unexpected, making...

Last weekend I did my first fair, it was a bit of a muddle but it was only in my village so quite a good practice run. I was displaying my dresses but ended up selling mainly these little vintage tea-cup candles "tea lights" that I had made up that day with a bunch of my granddads old crockery & some beeswax I'd ordered online. This Sunday I will be...

These are a few of my favorites from my photo shoot on Wednesday with Beci. She has edited them perfectly as I wanted them to look retro to match the style & shapes of my dress. Soon I will do a proper website. & also I am going to order new fabrics from Monaluna which I am very excited about. This weekend I am doing a small market in my village to...

Today I have been doing a belated Autumn/Winter shoot with photographer friend Beci McDonald. It was such a fun & tiring day but I am just so excited to see the photos & get some decent ones to send out to people, use to create a proper website & even get round to making myself some business cards. Beci will be sending them over beautifully...

Well, not really, but I seem to be doing a lot of preparing & it's getting busy busy. Over the next three weekends I am going to be doing stalls around Devon, so we have decided to cash in on the Christmas shoppers & make some special Christmassy bits to sell. I've teamed up with artist (& friendly boy) Rob Mason to make cards. By 'team up' I mean,...

This week I have made some funny little undies out of my lovely organic cotton, these are just practice ones, but I am hoping to make a few more sets to sell at Christmas markets. I think they make very cute presents, especially for someone special (or yourself). These are some inspirational examples; lovely catwalk bralet combos, & Free People, who...

what big eyes you have! I have made this cape. My mama gave me an old velvet curtain that she was going to throw out, & I just had to make it into this little circular cape. Ever since seeing Jane Eyre I have been feeling inspired by the clothing in the film, but at last I got round to making something. I'm also really into using bias tape to edge...

The evenings are feeling chilly & it smells of autumny wintery goodness. But luckily it is warm(ish) in my studio so I have been busy making some little skirts & finishing off my screen printed T-shirts & sweatshirts. Check out all tees & sweats here! In Totnes market on Friday I bought this very tiny little sewing machine, to add to...

This weekend I went to visit my sister in Brighton, she was doing Videopia at White Night. We had a lovely weekend eating a lot & wondering around antique shops & cafes, I only took my film SLR so pics will have to wait. I bought this lovely plate from the Flea Market, it's 'Beardy Man' by Donna Wilson & I got it for under half the price...

I'm having a sample sale of my 3 sample dresses. I made these dresses as a tester to see how the fabric worked, get some promo photos & try out some different styles. I am selling them off at cost price though as I am not going forward with all these shapes & would like them to go to a good home. They are all lined, & nicely finished & have...
