Hello. This says "forever". I made it for my lovely friend Faye who is the most fiercely loyal person I have ever come across. This is a good thing. Sorry about the janky picture.

I have been on holiday. After an excellent break I am ready to hurt my eyes with some more work. Toni requested a chintzy englishy pillow for her birthday, and as she's pretty ace, she totally got it.

NOAH

"Noah" - commissioned for a lovely 2 year old. There are dinosaurs in the 'O' bunt. A dinosaur bird in fact. Frickin' ACE.

apologies for the poor quality image!

This bunting was somewhat of a fail; it was made for my friend - she says "ace" a whole bunch. Unfortunately due to the muddle of the lower case characters (my first attempt - the unfamiliar obviously makes me nervous) and the little anchor, means that it resembles the word "taco". The recipient doesn't mind at all - in fact shes getting a janky tattoo on her leg saying "taco". So I'm actually inspirational. Accidentily. And now I want to do junk food themed bunting so it's all swings and roundabouts. Ha. Swings and roundabouts.

oh hai!

I actually have things to say hence new blog.

Finally my abode has the interweb so I can sort of my life out and get want&knead rolling. I, with the help of my new shiny flatmate (I advertised for skills, he has website building and 'code' skills. Good.) I will soon have a website to sell my wares and in the meantime, I'm going to hook myself up with etsy. That shieeet looks REAL.

I've been making, bunting, or as I like to call it, mainly due to my regular use of expletives, 'cunting'.

A few weeks back the lovely Olivia Mew was this side of the pond from Canadas and we did a tiny fabric shop. I bought her a cider, she bought me a meter of fabric I had my beady eye on. And then we decided we'd do a swap. This is what I made for her.

"STAY HOME"
(Olivia makes amazing tiny dolls - check her out)

I stole it for a while and pretended it was mine. It looked pretty ace on my mantelpiece. Anywho. There is PLENTY more where this came from.

I will soon be collecting photographs of the cunting I have made thus far. But here is the low down.

Its all painstakingly made by my very fair hands.
Fabrics are all selected by my eyeskills, vintage, 2nd hand and plain pretty fabrics.
Lettering is made from good quality felt. .
If you have fabric in mind, you can send me the fabric and the price will be based on labour.
It can say ANYTHING though I do prefer expletives.
This is entirely a custom venture so throw anything at me and I can sure as hell try.
Ready-made cunting will be available so you do not have to suffer the pains of decision making.

Please spread the word!
