a small book

20 smallpeople done...10 more to go until I reach the target number of 30....and yes, postcards are in the works. I hope to have a set of 4 or 5 of my favourites ready in a few weeks.I'll let you know when they arrive...

Bird_accordian_book
In between making smallpeople and doing some print design work, I managed to finish another small accordion book. It is a smaller version of this one, that I made for Damian at Christmas time. It is on its way to a new home and should arrive there shortly. I hope that the new owner enjoys it!

Julies_wall_necklace

I am the proud owner of one of Julie's beautiful "wall necklaces" - a textured clay tile to make any wall feel special! Thank you, Julie for such a special gift....if you're lucky she might put some new ones in her shop soon. Now to decide where to hang it.....

Three_mirrors
A short while ago Amy who runs an Etsy store,  sweet loveable goods, suggested a swap for some of my vintage wallpaper. I sent her some wallpaper and in return she custom made me three cute purse mirrors. I supplied the paper and images that I wanted and voila! mirrors! I had planned on giving them as gifts but now I'm rather tempted to keep them for myself.....

If you like these, go and have a look at Julie's wonderful mushrooms here ......

oh, and I haven't given up on my smallpeople....just was not awake enough today to even contemplate working with a very sharp pair of scissors. Wedding dress toiles are exhausting!

smallpeople no.16 will be making his appearance tomorrow......

almost missed it!

175 post, 1038 comments and one year and one day later....one year ago yesterday I wrote my first post on 'applehead'
I had planned on taking a look back over the past year with a few thought provoking insights(?).

However I am so flat out this week with ( deep breath)
a) making a toile for my cousin's wedding dress
b) making invites for that same wedding,
c) frantically cutting and pasting smallpeople and
d) working on an unexpected and naturally urgent design job and of course
e) all of the normal everyday stuff with two very welcome houseguests thrown in for good measure!

that a photo will just have to do!

Sleep is not an option at this point. Maybe next week.......

Thank you everyone, friends new and old for a wonderful year!
