Andy’s speaking at Semi-Permanent today and I’m really proud of him. He’s such a clever guy and works so hard to look after us. We miss him so much when he’s away but we understand.
SouthSouthwest have been doing some excellent work for Nike lately and this clip shows a recent Nike brand campaign for the NBA All Star week that took place in Orlando earlier this year. His contribution was the creation of the headline typography ‘Launch Command’ which was the focal point of the intergalactic, star studded campaign. 
Pretty neat to see his work all over the place. Especially when it’s this good. I am trying to carve out my own appointment with him to talk further about the collaboration we are in the process of embarking on. After exhausting my exploration and slight obsession with patchwork balloons, I’m more than ready to move on. Lots of new things in the works and I’m excited!
Have a good weekend xx

She’s one heck of a girl. Equal parts goofball, charm and sheer adorableness but fortheloveofgod she is in our bed every night. Some context first. I breast fed both my children in bed and I loved it. Then when I stopped feeding them they were still in our bed and I loved that too. We were all getting enough sleep, and as Otto got older (3/4 years old ish) he’d start off in his own bed but always eventually came creeping down the hall. Andy would then go and sleep in Otto’s bed and whilst that wasn’t ideal, looking back it didn’t seem earth shattering enough to try and fight and fix it and I guess we must have had some nights alone because heck, we ended up pregnant with Coco.

Sending off the last few Hankey Blankeys to lovely stockists Mr Sparrow and Harley and Soo. I decided a while ago to stop wholesaling them as they really are a lot of work and I can’t seem to come up with a price that works for both me and my stockists.
From the sourcing of the hankeys, to the washing, ironing, cutting, colour matching, sewing, ironing again, basting, sewing again, washing again, patting etc. Talk about labour intensive, but they are my favourite things to make, like, ever and I want to continue making them slowly and for the love of them. They will continue to be part of my range, just not in a wholesale way and not for the time being. Continue reading “This week…” »

Bad things this week have been missing out on the studio I applied for. Sob. Sniff. Sad tears.
And then more sad (and very real) tears for the super talented and inspiring Adam Yauch. I met the Beastie Boys and saw them live twice and their music was truly such a huge part of my ‘going out’ years. So many great times associated with their songs. Cancer is such a hateful, heart-breaking thing.
Also the death of Maurice Sendak one of our very favourites.
Sigh.
However, the good things this week have been undoubtedly the extreme love I’ve received for the Craft Victoria window. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH! Everyone’s messages meant so much to me, here on the blog, via email and in person. You’re all so lovely and I’m ever so grateful. It means a great deal. Sniff. Sob. Happy tears.
Last night we went in to see the window and go out for a celebratory dinner. Little did I know that our besties (and if you follow that link, how short was my hair and how crazy are Coco’s teeth?!) would be there to surprise me with a beautiful bunch of flowers. Aww…I love those guys.

All done. Not too much to say, just a huge thank you to Milly who has made this whole thing such a pleasure. Craft Victoria really does kick some serious butt and I feel really lucky to have had this opportunity.
Almost 40 balloons of various sizes, spanning the colour spectrum and whilst we took many photos they are all quite random and somehow I don’t really have a proper shot of the whole thing. We’re going back in Thursday night to shoot it in all it’s spectrum-ish glory. Until then, make yourself a cuppa and enjoy…. Continue reading “Done” »
