Can't believe September has been and gone :( but it was great fun and now it's back to work to pay for another holiday :)
Saw some mad artwork by Britto, in Hong Kong, just a couple of snaps....

September is finally here.....

It seems to have taken forever, but September is finally here and soon I will be on the other side of the planet - yay!!

But, had lots of good meetings last week and have now started making purse bags - I don't expect blokes to know what on earth I'm on about, but trust me, women neeeeeed purse bags, and lots of them :)

Here's the latest edition, which is for sale on the folksy shop

What a week...

2010-08-20T01:58:00.000-07:00

A whole week since my last log - how lazy of me. Been a busy week.

Wrapping paper designs (for Xmas)

Did some bunting for the shop http://www.folksy.com/shops/thedesignproject

Then did a triathlon, which was ridiculously hard, but fab too (justified the wine and chocolate later):
Me looking a bit bedraggled after the tri, (with print out proof that I did it):

Got the Folksy shop up and running now:

Now the mind is working overtime for more ideas to put on the shop.

Made some bunting for myself and put it up - makes the blinds look alot nicer me thinks :)

Happy Mondays....

2010-08-09T04:53:00.000-07:00

Finished the poppyhead pattern keyring....

Matches the buttons.....

Just working on some bunting at the minute, which I'll up load later :)
And hoping to get everything uploaded onto a Folksy shop soon - yay!

Website now looks a bit better: www.thedesignproject.co.uk
And the Folksy shop is now up and running - woo hoo

A good morning already....

2010-08-05T02:32:00.000-07:00

Well, finally, Geoff's iPhone arrived this morning, so he's a happy bunny, and I've made some quite cute fabric buttons this morning....

And I've managed to download the really cute clock on the side - all good, hopefully the meeting will be just as successful :)

An interesting day....

2010-08-03T12:39:00.000-07:00

Started off so well, with a really exciting client meeting, but then '3' decided to stress us both out about the delivery of Geoff's iphone - no one seems to know what's going on and all claim ignorance!! Very infuriating, but, hey, at least the meeting went well this morning :)

New pattern for the day (another good thing that's come out of today)

August already!!

2010-08-02T11:04:00.001-07:00

Can’t believe we’re here already…. half way through the year!

Happy birthday Helen!

Currently working on a few designs for fabric – for cushions, will upload pics once they’re made and looking lovely
