Creative Space: New things

It feels like a million new things have happened this week...

On the weekend I finished putting together a new book bag prototype, made 

from last week's new fabric. So I was thinking about book bags + printing up some 

new lining and I started experimenting with the background block to another design 

of mine from last year. I changed it a bit (two dots) and I printed by lining up the pattern...

I rather like it. In fact, I don't think I'll be using it as a lining... I think it needs more

work; another layer perhaps - but not like the old pattern, something softer. I may

have tickets on myself* here but it looks a bit Mina Perhonen to me! :)

A funny thing my eyes kept falling on while I was printing... a part of an ad on the 

newspaper I was using as table protection... "A well fitted suit is a dream of every 

man and a woman..." What? Only one woman?? ;)

Something else I put together this week... thank you cards to include with purchases from 

my Etsy store. I made use of the 'flooded' tea towel, cutting it up and sewing the panels

on card. By the way, I have two new tea towels in my Etsy store now :)

Hope you've had a fabulously creative week? You can see more spaces here.


UPDATE: You can also have a peek at all the Creative Spaces on Instagram now.

*to have tickets on yourself... Be conceited, have a high opinion of yourself—

‘He’s got tickets on himself if he thinks I’ll go out with him’.

Etsy Favourite

I love coming across something new and exciting on Etsy. 

My newest find is NiHaMa's gorgeous crochet teething toys for babies.

Aren't they just lovely? The quality of the crochet is wonderful, helped 

along by fabulous photos of course.

Such a simple stunning gift for a newborn, don't you think?
