oh no where's rachio??

the lovely rachel asked me to stand in for her at ohnorachio today whilst she's off enjoying her birthday/holiday, and proving i'm not one bit jealous (not even a tiny bit) i made an imaginary birthday wish list for myself (ha!)
... to read the post and to see what i'd reeeeally like to own right now, head on over there now!

AND! wish rachel a happy birthday whilst you're at it!

**happy birthday rachel***

thirty ways to save a pound

first of all, apologies for the epic blog post! this month has been one of those months where i seem to have no money, yet *everything* needs to be paid for #lesighhhhhhhhhh
coincidently, i was contacted by moneysupermarket to take part in another blogger challenge, (you can read my last entry here) this time, they've asked me to share 30 ways to save £1, to celebrate 30 years of the one pound coin! so i thought give it a go ... hopefully you'll find some of them useful!

eak!

wip (wolf in progress)

ok, so he's not really a wolf. he's a husky... soon you'll be able to wear him on your skin ♥

show me your pics!

after umming and ahhing about it for ages, i finally set up a facebook page for my work the other day.

my favourite thing about it is that i now have a place to share the lovely photos sent to me by my awesome customers ♥
these are a few of my favourites ... clockwise from top left :
my beautiful niece! isn't she a cutie! // bosco is checking out sarah's new case // alice embraces her crazy cat lady status! // jo-ann's kitty doesn't look too impressed with her new ink

if you have any photos of my products that you'd like to share, please do feel free to upload them to my facebook page - i'd love to see them!

she sells sea shells

if you follow me on instagram or twitter, you may have heard me talk (moan) about a little thing called shred ... incase you were wondering, i have taken on the challenge of the 30 day shred, accompanied by the wonderful rachel : today is day 17, so we're over half way! it's tough but i'm definitely feeling like it's making a difference.

in an effort to stay motivated, rachel came up with the awesome idea of making our own (prettier) version of these 'pounds to lose' & 'pounds lost' jars. there is a cute little tutorial on rachel's blog - she has filled hers with the cutest little dinosaurs, it made me a bit jealous!
i decided to fill mine with shells, since i have amassed a fair few on our long walks down the beach.

all this talk of shells has made me want to draw them ... maybe i should draw each shell i put into the 'yay!' jar!
