Look at this lovely website

I have a thing about soap. I love soap that smells and is perfectly wrapped in tissue and nice paper. This seems to fit the bill as far as I am concerned. I hope they don't mind me showing you this picture, which I also find inspiring from a fabric and drawing point of view. Great colour combination and the mixture of stripes and botanical print is just lovely.

Inspiration and stuff
Got a lovely pattern book from Japan for inspiration. The patterns are quite interesting, but lots of Momoko and extra stuff I don't want. I think I can adapt some to my needs though.
I am thinking about the colours that the bathroom is going to be, once finished and also the general theme of decoration in the house. I have always had the combination of pomegranate red and celadon green in my brain as the perfect combination for me. Typical thought to marry a colour blind man, who has problems with red and green, so is usually unappreciative of the subtleties of this mix- which is a great shame.

Scotlandia
We have been away in Scotland for a week, and now all is back to normal, apart from the unfinished bathroom, which was supposed to have been completed in the week we were away. Bleh!
But Scotland was beautiful, as ever, and food for the soul. I find the landscape there awe-inspiring. Obvious I know, but you can't beat Glen Coe, and Loch Lomand, and I am not even scottish.

Inspiration and stuff
My new Blythe arrived. Haven't decided what to call her yet. She is very cute and it seems strange, but I think she is slightly shorter. can this be possible?
I have decided to subscribe to Selvedge magazine, finally. It works out cheaper than buying them individually and I won't have to hunt around for it anymore. Also, I need it for inspiration of course.
I have developed a liking for the edging of fabrics, the bit where they show the dye colours and the name of the print etc. Very lovely. These are some off my recent projects.

WOI- Further inspiration
I have a massive collection of old World of Interiors Magazines. It is one of my favourite things. Mainly I think because it has so many pictures of chairs. I have a thing about chairs and one day I may dedicate a whole blog to them, and all they mean to me..
But in the meantime, back in moshi-moshi land I have been searching for new back-drops for my photos and my WOI mags are brilliant for this purpose, so here are some lovely pages that have inspired me.
The tea-cups are lovely and make me think of Mad Hatters and Alice.
(Sorry about the weird colour, not sure why this has happened)

Busy, busy, busy
I have been making these little blouses and skirts like mad recently. The pattern of the blouse is so lovely and I have made several variations too. I have loads of nice fabric at the moment and it just really inspires me. Still not enough time in the day to do all the things I want to.
These photos are the uncensored ones, as I felt that the little models were a bit too saucy for etsy. I made the clothes dummies ages ago, when I first started making my clothes. Maybe I should make another one soon.

Gocco experiments
Have spent quite a bit of time recently experimenting with my new Gocco, trying to work out how to get the best out of it. Still experimenting till I can find what works best. This little print has turned out quite well though, and I have done it on different coloured cards so it looks really nice. I will persist.
