I'm a winner!


I gushed about the Endangered Species poster on Wee Birdy last week and won myself a gorgeous Gemma Jones limited edition print for my efforts. Thank you Wee Birdy, thank you Gemma Jones. Can't wait to get my mits on it. It's winging its way from Oz, so I've got a little while to figure out where I'll be hanging it.

In other blog-based adventures, tonight I'm off to my first class at Make Lounge. Inspired by What Katie Does, I'm taking Extraordinary Embroidery. Eeeeeeee! Can't wait!

Animal A to Z



We just got around to hanging our Endangered Species of the British Isles poster.

I bought it for Tom for Christmas, and lo, it's only taken 7 months for it to reach the bathroom wall. It's designed/illustrated by Present & Correct and I'm absolutely smitten with it. I'm sure I'll never tire of looking at it as I brush my teeth.

Each species is so beautifully rendered; clean simple and yet brimming with personality (yup, even that odd little sea anemone fella). This week my favourite is the otter, last week the dormouse, can't wait to change my mind again next week...
