A new citizen of Pikaland

Amy at Pikaland has just launched this brilliant new community for illustrators. What a fantastic idea!

Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee

I spent some time last week creating two matching tiny cheerleader outfits for my nieces 3rd birthday party, which was Grease themed. One was for Bea and the other for her cousin Tilly.

They were not keen on posing for a picture together.

I think they looked pretty darn cute! I guess I can expect a lot more costume making from now on!

Sleepy baby elephant in a new format...

Hello, I have just added a new product to my shop, a notebook featuring my sleepy baby elephant character also available as a soft toy.

I love notebooks. They make me want to write lists.

Get some of those booties!

After making so many of these booties both for gifts and as commissions you can now order a custom made pair yourself from my etsy shop. Each pair will be made to order so you can choose the design.

Sorry, did I forget to say I was going on holiday?

I do apologise. We went off for a little break to Spain with my sister and her family. We stayed in a little place close to Portugal and Seville and although I promise we did see some interesting things, and Seville is very picturesque, when looking through all the photos we took I have found that they are all of Bea. There are no landscape views or culture rich snaps. we appear to have spent the entire week taking pictures of our baby!

Oh well, I'll share a few examples of our holiday baby worship with you and you'll have to try and pick out any exciting scenery in the background, or just imagine the colourful sights and sounds of the old city of Seville. Sorry about that.

Looking quite excited to be on the beach for the first time

We did try to make her wear these sunglasses to no avail

Its hard work being a baby
