My fabulous Paumes books arrived yesterday from the lovely Yvonne at Yvestown. All in Japanese, but really doesn't matter, so inspirational. I'm totally inspired to redecorate...if it wasn't so bloomin' cold. All the snow has frozen and gone sludgey and it's now rainy. Such a shame, it was so crisp and magical for a few weeks. 

This strange girl is hanging around for a while in the studio. She came for Christmas and decided that she liked it so much, she would stay longer. She does chat a lot, but we have a giggle whilst I'm working, and she drags her bunny around the studio. 

Happy New Year!

Been back at work for a week now, but think it will kick off properly tomorrow...have the feeling that people are REALLY back into the groove then. Still submerged in snow, which is FAB! Loving it. We've managed to pack in some wicked sledging in the past couple of weeks (bruises to prove it!). Jan is proving to be super busy already, which is great. Think this is going to be a bonkers year. 

Nearly Santa time!

Wow! Wish I had more time to add to this, but this time of year I'm more NUTS than an elf...so many orders. Always right to the last minute. Just had my birthday, which was fab and fun. All my lovely friends being gorgeous and such a laugh. Feeling Christmassy now, especially as we have snow too. Not been sledging yet, but if the snow holds....mini snowmen seem to keep popping up in the garden and a Grimble has appeared in the kitchen looking for blue food.   

Moose Towers overdrive

As usual, a sooper late post! Things very manic here at Moose Towers, Moose & the mooselets (you know who you are...you're fabulous!) all busy stitching away to make those Christmas dreams come true. No, we haven't taken Santa's place, we're just very busy trying to create lots of doodles for our lovely customers. The installation at The Byre Theatre creeping closer and closer...frantically making competition winners to go up in the theatre foyer and gallery. 

Lots been going on in the last month or so. Amazing, when you create new blog posts you get a real concept of how quickly time passes.....anyway....

Been away in Newcastle with (re)design, doing modelling workshops with the kids in The Great North Museum, part of the Design Event 09 festival. Over 2 weekends...great fun! Next to the amazing Lizzie Lee, who creates the most amazing lampshades from recycled lace (must send her some!) and the really fun sock creatures/aliens. 

I've uploaded some pics of current doodles that have left the Moose laboratory. I will do a separate update to credit all the lovely peeps that have shown an interest recently and do the usual links and stuff. 

Oh...and how could I forget...some doodles were on the Paul O'Grady show tonight. My 30 seconds of fame..haha!! Tried to link to the show, but couldn't..so just the thanks page! 

Back to it!!

Had the most amazing 3 weeks in Chicago, staying with good friends and seeing the sights, chilling and taking it all in. Back to life with a big BUMP!....like we never left. Lots of new projects....exciting times!

At last!

At last I'm back on the blog....been so busy, just haven't had the time. Anyway, finished the doodle giveaway for the lovely Lauren in the US. Been making top hats, telephones, more doodles, and generally enjoying the APPALLING summer weather we have been having. It has felt as though the monsoons have hit at times!

Giveaway winner!

Long time, no post. The winner for the "doodle" giveaway is Lauren Wenchel from Maryland, USA. Thanks to the lovely Katherine at kathblack.blogspot.com. Will be winging it's way to her soon!
