Happy Monday!
Hope your week is off to a good start
Can you believe it's September soon?
This Summer has flown by, it's crazy!
Do you remember when you were little and Summer holidays seemed to last about 4 months?

Anyway, onto this weeks finds
I've sound some cuties!

1. Charmaine Olivia
This print is just beautiful














2. Be Pixielated
This bow is so cute!















3. You Cute
Love this little bowl of fruit loops!
On holidays to Florida when I was little I'd always look forward to having a bowl of fruit loops
I wonder why it is that when you're little, bright coloured foods taste better?
I loved Blue Raspberry Panda Pops!
Yum

My favorite part of this painting is the little kitty

E.T. looks so funny here

Cat Crazy Saturday

Happy Cat Saturday!
Hope you're having a great weekend!
I've found some cuties this week!

Check out this cat shaped pool from the 50's!
Amazing!














This kitty piggy bank is so sweet!






















Awww






















This witches hat is perfect for Halloween!






















I made Sisco a similar one last year!
She seemed quite impressed!





















Love this recent illustration by Beth
Yes to every single point!






















This Gemma Correll tattoo is pretty cute















This tee is simple but cute!

















This kitten band is adorable!

Give your fur babies a hug from me!

Tomato Update!! I didn't kill my plants!

Just a quick update on my tomato plants
They have tomatoes!
Ok, they're only tiny
But this is so exciting!
I keep going out to look at them! haha
I've never hand much luck keeping plants alive, but growing tomatoes is something I've always wanted to do
Aren't they so cute?
































































Today we're celebrating Paul's birthday early
It's better to do it on the weekend and make a day of it
We've just had a relaxing day and tonight I'm cooking a Mexican feast! yum!
Oh, just a little peek of something I made him last minute
It's a retro Nintendo iPhone case
I was still making last night and everything seemed to go wrong (ignore the bad stitching), but I think it's pretty cute!















I'll be back later with Cat Saturday!

Getting into Origami

I've been saying for such a long time that I'd love to learn how to do origami
I just think it's so beautiful
I came across this site with step by step instructions
I thought I'd post the link in case anyone else wants to try too
I've been having a little go, there are so many that I want to try!

I also want to share a paper artist I've come across
Anja Markiewicz creates tiny origami artwork
Check out her flickr, she's got lots more!
These must take a lot of patience!
















































































































I don't think I'm quite at that level yet! haha

♥ Monday Etsy Loves ♥ Lots of Love ♥

Happy Monday!
Hope you're week's of to a good start!
This morning I sent off 6 of my plush to new homes!
It's lovely to think my plush are doing a spot of travelling around the world!

I'm quite excited about this week because Saturday we're celebrating Paul's birthday!
We're doing it on the weekend, so we can make a day of it (fingers crossed for a little bit of summer weather)
And guess what? This year he has 3 presents off me and he's only had one so far!
Ok, one hasn't actually arrived yet but still..
Amazing self control for me!
I'm cooking a Mexican feast for him!
I love cooking for him but he doesn't like a lot of what I cook as I always have to have tomatoes in food (slight addiction) and he's not so much of a tomato man!
So I'm feeling a bit like a hyped up 10 year old this week
I can't help it! I love birthdays.
p.s. I still have some of my birthday balloons up!
But I know his game, he'll take them down when I'm not looking
But I think last year I got about 3 weeks out them! haha!

Ok, onto this weeks finds!

1. Shop Gemini Rising
I saw this ring and instantly thought 'that's the type of ring a prince would battle a dragon for to give to a princess'
Don't you think? It looks magical!

















2. Boots N Gus
This is so pretty!

















3. The Poppy Tree
I know I've featured her work quite a few times, but it's so beautiful

















4. Holly Vision Art
I really love this print
When I was younger I used to collect so many shells and pretty stones off the beach
Gross fact: When I was about 8 I found an empty snail shell and tried to make an earring out of it (Which meant putting a hole in the shell, putting some cotton through it and looping it over my ear!) haha
It wasn't even a nice looking shell, I think I still have that somewhere at my mums house













5. Janish Jewels
Love this colour!
















6. Andie Speciality Sweets
I've been swooning over these buttons for a while and actually read the description today
They're sweets!
So pretty!













7. Kirbee Art
Love this little guy!

















8. Sumiko Shop
These are so dainty and pretty!

















And that's it for the week!
Hope you found something you like!

So instead I've ordered some new felt and ribbons to make Halloween decorations!
