where my feet have been..

I am sat over looking the sea right now as I type this, in a slightly rainy Cornwall. Me and mum have decided to take an adventure, her for a week me for four days. We are visiting my great uncle as he is very poorly. So we thought we would spend some quality time together and come to my most favourite place. As soon as the train pulled into looe or even when we crossed the bridge a Plymouth my heart settled and I felt as if I had come back home. I studied for three years at falmouth University college, it feels like this is where I belong. This weekend shall be used to help me decide where my head is at and my future...so no pressure. I have already consumed a crazy amount of pasties, fish and chips and got soaked by the sea. This is happiness. 

Mollie Makes chooses Big Pop for Fathers day

I don't often get to the point where I am really proud of myself, but the lovely Joanne pointed out that I had been featured on the Mollie Makes Blog for things to buy for fathers day, I don't think I have ever really been featured on a big company magazine. So I am so please, I was having a bit of a panicky day today, thinking to myself am I really ready, am I any good this has just given me a wonderful boast so thank you to the lovely people behind Mollie Makes. There are lots of new things in the shop notebooks, soon to be A3 prints, and tote bags.

I have a lot of lovely things in the pipeline to do with my illustrations, every illustrations you buy will be one step closer to me moving into a lovely flat with a new studio.

 

collecting Memories.

A few weekends ago, me, mum and katy went for a little drive around near to where I live, as it was a nice sunny day and we were looking at venues for her wedding. When we stumbled across the old antique shop that we use to go to as kids when we had pocket money to spend. I was obsessed with tins as a child, when ever I could buy them I would, I have just bought one from Tiger actually...My obsession is yet to grow out. I once bought A small biscuit tin that was made especially for King George V, gosh I am such a geek. Anyway I bought a few pieces for my room including this delightful Players Navy cut cigarette tin I have been after one of these for a long time and when I saw it sitting there I just had to have it, its now my business card holder. After having a look around the shop, we went for breakfast once again my sweet-tooth decided it knew better and I ordered the cherry Pancakes not thinking it would come out like a pair of cream covered boobs, I could only managed half of it, totally disappointed in my effort whilst katy and mum had a burger and chips. I did how ever have a rather lovely chocolate milkshake. 

My outfit was a pretty casual one, I mixed my favourite high waited jeans with an old new look top of about 6 years. My hair I did in my sleep, and I decided that I liked it so much I wouldn't bother to take the clips out. You are probably wondering why or how I did my hair in my sleep your guess is as good as mine! 

We did how ever find the perfect wedding venue for Katy, which I will be blogging about a little closer to the wedding as I don't want to give too much away as I know a lot katy's friends read my blog. You'll love it. Oh and her dress which we might have found today!
