sneaky peek 1
I've started printing cards for the Selvedge Spring Fair on the 2nd April - unusually organised of myself I must say, I even snapped up a bargain of the week little suitcase on saturday for display purposes...poor thing needs a bit of attention but I'll post snapshots when it's ready for it's close up!

chirpy chirp chirp - I'd like to think that's enough syllables for every occassion.
Eagle-eyed fololwers of blog de lottie may recognise my cunning adaptation of a former christmas cards, just remember a blue tit is for life not just for christmas (though Pat always says they're not all that christmassy at all really - bless him)
The card making process was fine until it came to using the squeaky guillotine, even the embossing of 20 sheets of paper (which I put through the press twice for extra embossingness)...apologies to anyone who had to sit through squawks and squeaks while I chopped my paper into 100 cards - you know who you are)...

it's all about the titles...
I've been enjoying coming up with titles for my latest prints - I think they make all the difference but start being less fun when you have to write them out 20ish times, still I don't mind too much; getting lines as a punishment at school was always quite a treat)...

as promised/threatened more here's another rack shot (luckily I don't mean in the Gok Wan sense of the word rack, if you know what I mean, my blog would be banned otherwise)!

No bulls were harmed in the making of this print - olé
this weekend was meant to be spend updating my website and maybe opening an online shop so I can sell stuff - sadly it was too windy for holding the bigger prints outside in my usual stylee...but it will happen soon.
