Hello!
So, I just wanted to share with you my new Blog design! I have given everything a Spring/Winter clean and using my Digital Fabric design skills to make the background repeat.
I made some new buttons and have made a new banner... Hope you like it?
I am doing my website too, all with a similar look.
Thanks for reading, I'll be back with lots of FUN stuff soon :)

Snail Mail Swapaganza!
Well hello there!
It has been a while, I have been busy doing all sorts of things and been all sorts of places.. I have so many fun and found things to share but before I do so this post is long overdue and I apologise to Emily for not saying thank you sooner!
About a month ago I received the best box of stuff I have ever received.... it is from Emily Orpin. Me, Emily and Amanda Dziedzic decided to do a snail mail swapaganza! Such a fab idea and especially exciting as all 3 of us are in different locations. Emily is in Seoul, Amanda has just returned from a residency in Scotland.. she was heading there when we began this...
We listed our favourite trinkets and things we would like to get in a parcel, colour combo's included and the below is the result of my box from Emily!
It is full of the most amazing things ever, it felt like Christmas morning. There is paper, sticker, fabrics, ribbons, cards and just adorable little bits and bobs!
Look at this treasure.. Thank you so much Emily, I promise I am collecting for yours!
Anyone else who fancies doing this, I am keen, it is fun and a great way of sharing your treats and treasures with others!
Swap away!

Enjoy!

A Nostalgic Easter
Hi!
Easter is upon us, and I wanted to share a memory!
I remember getting these beautiful eggs for Easter, the outside was an egg shaped box made of cardboard that was decorated in a few ways. Inside was a mixture of delicate mini wooden painted eggs on strings so you can hang them up, little chicks and yellow shredded paper.
Then you get a whole heap of twigs and make a tree to hang them from. It's cute and looks great.
I was very little, I can see the photo of me in my head.. On the bed with a blond bowl cut and the treats in my hands. I hope little children still receive things like this for Easter and not just chocolate!
Obviously we too had Easter egg hunts later in life which resulted in finding eggs until November as my mum used to forget where they were hidden! That was mainly due to the fact that she is a hoarder just like me and the house is full of places to hide things!
So bright, fun and a little bit twee. x

The daffodils are just for fun as I am feeling Spring sick for England! I do love all the colours of Spring. But for me it is Autumn so I am awaiting scarves and beautiful park days with a cooler pinch to the air! x
Happy Easter!

Daily Telegraph Home - Sweets Workshop
Hi!
So Yesterday I was looking through the Daily Telegraph 'Home' section and guess what.. I saw my Stitchester Church ' St Needles' soft sculpture and a monochrome heart cushion in an article on the awesome Sweets Workshop, the fabulous shop and one of my stockists in Summer Hill.
How exciting, I think that's my first piece of official press.... I am so happy to have been included in the list of names Artists. Even if they spelt my name wrong... Kathy Dee.... Oh well!
I love The Sweets Workshop, not only are Emma and John really lovely and talented Artists themselves, the shop is full of gorgeous things and it's a pleasure to visit to get something really special. So well done guys!
Here is the article:
I can't make it any bigger as things get in the way! But I do get listed as one of the artists there.
I just wanted to share this!

Stampel - Wooden Bright Delight
Mondays are such dull days, often busy but I feel they need brightening with something fun!
Stampel is an amazing Design company based in Bendigo, Victoria. I have been a fan of for a while now so thought it was about time I shared the goodness. It is the design product of Andrea and Stampel is the label name she works under. It is Swedish for stamp, how cool is that?! She came to have that name after a trip to Japan and a wood block printing obsession, and her love for Swedish design [ which I understand and share]
Her work is bright, bold and the below has a fantastic 80's colour and pattern theme which is a personal fave of mine! No wonder I love it all. With a background in Textiles you can see where she her inspiration and skills from.
She likes to work with reclaimed materials and Sustainability is very important. Eco friendly and all round awesome I'd say.
Her blog can be found here
Enjoy the bright and wonderful delights below: I must say I think I would like a little piece of everything! Am loving the wall jewellery hangers.

Happy Monday!
Enjoy.

Happy Love Day
Happy Valentines!
A ridiculous day I agree but I can hardly let the day go by with sharing images of hearts, Love and all things Pink and Red, only my favourite colour combination. Sickening I am aware but at least I am not being gushy and sharing pictures of what I have received [ which will be nothing!]
So I hope your day is full of pretty things or if not enjoy these....
Gorgeous Felt hearts from Sweet PB
The Totally amazing and I want right now perspex heart vase by Helsy at LOVESTAR
Immensely lovable washi tape from Little Paper Lane. I would like everything wrapped in this please.
These wooden cuties are by a lovely shop called So little Time
This little one is made by me, a card wrapped in a doily envelope. Really manly I know.
Have a great day, find your sweetheart and give them a kiss!
Love,
x Katy x
