English Winter Fair

Had a fantastic weekend with Poppy the fat Whippets maiden voyage to the English Winter Fair at Stafford show ground.
Nearly sold out of our hand knitted scarves on the first day so had a late night that night to supplement supplies! All worth it though, thank you to everyone who stopped by! X
Ps I will be putting all the items for sale here onto our Etsy shop ASAP!
Just search for Poppy the fat whippet in the etsy.co.uk search engine and we should pop up!

Name in a frame


Just finished my latest commission of a name in a frame. I have collaged a ange of patterned papers, some of my own cartoon and the florals from a lovely scrap booking pack. 
I love using collage as I think it gives another aspect of depth to the design.
This one is for lovely baby Beatrix as a christening present

The eyeballing canine

Poppy pooch eyeballing me as I glitter the brand new Christmas cards, it's been a good hour now. I'm wondering whether it has something to do with the gingerbread man who is sat with me at the desk?

Fat Whippet business cards!

My business cards have finally arrived!.. So pleased I went for Kraft with a simple line illustration.
They are printed on colour plan Harvest from GF Smith which o
Is slightly smoother than Kraft so has more of a crisp finish.
