WHOOP!

Well, I am very happy I have been getting a lot of attention though I might not be overwhelming yet. I am enjoying, very much. It makes me smile when I look a the overview and page view counts.

I hope you are all enjoying it too x

So for a treat, I am going to give you a preview on Facebook and here, before etsy.
Here is all my hard work from last summer (and honestly there is more to come, including more winter themed jewellery you might not expect, but) for now. 


Also I went to a business event for the community supported by my university and had the greatest pep talk from an amazing person, who I plan on talking to more, as she is an amazing person and took the time to be so inspiring  I also made 5/6 new friends.

My etsy is :

G.0: Monkeys off



 Getting On: Two Monkeys Are Moving On


These two dinosaur sock monkeys are going to two little boys  a friends nephews.

Made in summer 2012, with the buttons added a week before the boys got them. They were made with a set of baby boy socks, for 6 + months, toy stuffing, threads and small buttons.

I love the colours and stripes, one of the most colourful sock monkeys I have made, especially with such small socks. Making them cheerful companions for  young (but older children), for  girls or boys.


I hope they are enjoying their new friends.


Thanks for reading - and I'll be posting new items of  jewellery and sock monkeys and other products this weekend.

C.W: Styles and trends for Autumn and Winter 2013

Changing Wardrobes:

What's in this Autumn/Winter:


From the catwalks plaids and checkered weaves have reappeared to brighten the clothes, and have
been shown  in some very interesting combinations, with some sophisticated styling.  Symmetry isn't an obstacle this year, with many asymmetrical pieces around. The oversize, the trimmed coats, and even the ladies tailored designs all have plaids to play with, from toned down shades to bold colour combinations.

The plaids are featured very strongly n skirts, coats, and jumpers, but have been used all over the wardrobe from shirts, to shoes. However they have come out on top in coats this season making a great statement, and stable piece to have.

Another influence in the catwalks to add instant glamour  is old school womanly charms, using older hourglass styling  and curvy silhouettes to add a lady like look and simple sophistication to a lot of collections Making sure we girls are snug in our coats and dresses, when we are out of those pyjamas this winter. This styling was often combined with a lot of pink, for all those who wish to brighten up the end of the year.

There was also a lot of urban utility fashion, presented. Contrasting the city against the lady this year.




Thanks  for reading, next week, etsy prints, my watermark and some of my own wardrobe choices, before I have  big clear out.                                                                                           Enjoy  XXX
