Seymour + Love Fran plushies

During a bit of a general computer spring (or first time in a long time) clean, I uncovered a folder photographed and saved on my behalf, yet again by the ever conscientious Seymour, with these guys knocking about in it. They are probably at the ripe old age (in plushie years) of about 6 now. They were my first collaboration with Seymour, made for his first ever solo show back in New Zealand. Together his illustrations+my 5 meters of baby corduroy=seymourlovesfran. It was such a nice suprise after such a long time of not seeing Kung Fu Kitty and his crew, that I wanted to share them with you. xxx

Kitty Plushies

Another crew of misfit, heart shaped nose kitty plushies. These guys were so much fun to make, not only cause of the moustaches, pirate patches, feather headdresses, and kitty waistcoats but it was also my first go on fabric pens, which are generally fab, plus also super good for sleazy eyes. xxx

Bunting.

Some bunting lines I made out of all the sweetest fabrics ever. The ABC bunting was a gift for my nephew Charlie when he was born, then there is a snap of one of the red ones hanging in the window of the Red Door Gallery, and Milo and Otis (yes, really their names, and yes really best friends, perfect) adding a bit of colour to their beach bar/playhouse with a blue one. xxx

School of Hard Knocks.

A collection of school baggy goodness that I should have really posted earlier this year for when my gorgeous niece Charlee had her first day at school. I haven't seen her actual schoolbag yet, cause she lives on almost the other side of the planet from where I do, but I imagine her in one like on the top right in the picture, and it is probably all massive on her, and it is probably super cute. xxx

Prague

Last month for my birthday I went for a bit of a whirlwind few days away to Prague, I don't really know how to do the chilled out break away thing (mission for this summer), so, as usual, we pounded the pavement for hours on end, nourished by cake and cocktails in a can, but I did a wee journal page while there. Very comprehensive summary. Thought I would add a few pages from Cologne and New Zealand last year too. xxx
