Time to sketch.. yipee

I love selling fabric .. sourcing it .. especially trying to find that something special - that I think others will love .. but what I really love is sketching .. On my way up to St Albans last week -(to pick up a fab (ebay) mirror from a lovely lady named sally I was working on my new ideas for some atomic fabric sketches .. in the hope that I will be able to print them myself .. Anyway I just thoughtI would pop it on here to spur myself  to keep  going .. here goes ...  illustrator here i come ..........

Bunny brigade

I feel in love with a bunny patten that was give to me buy a friend, who I hasten to add makes the most beautiful plush penguins that I have ever seen...  and I think I am on a mission to make a miny bunny brigade, I aim to make 20 and I have already made 10 .. (i think ) - I would like to list them on folksy .. to see how they get on .....  

I would love to use some of my new ribbons to  decorate them .. somehow .. stay tuned to see how I fair .. might turn out to be a very small army .

for the little nibbler

(not sure but i am sure it will get a lot of chewing.. I hear she is a real nibbler.

The shop usually slows down a little this time of year and I usually end up making and making .. but this year there is a house to re..do and so my making seems to have gone  alittle to the wasteside .. and all I really want to do is to sit at me sewing machine ... that seems to be permanently covered with wallpaper swatches ( I don't even have any wallpaper) .. paint samples and yes the dreaded bathroom time. I do however plan on covering this small footstool that I bought of ebay - I have being looking for one to cover for ages and thins appeared ..so I had to go for it -I have taken the legs off .. but when I get them back on - I  think that it will look just fab ......
