Useless At Baking

planning my end of year holidays...I only realized recently that it's the end of a decade! I remember New Year's Eve 1999 (working behind a bar with friends) and how we all thought it would be a big deal, the new millennium. Anyway I look forward to 2010 mainly cause it's an even number, even years are luckier I think!

Spoonflower fabric samples

They have arrived today, I really like the printing quality and how the colours came out...I haven't really decided what to do now, it's nice to see my patterns on fabric though, I might order some. see more here
Do you have a favourite?

Singing Express

The music book I worked on a short while ago, Singing Express by A+C Black is out now. It's got lots of illustrations by me plus it comes with a disc containing little animated clips (done by Walk Tall Media) for which I prepared illustrations as well. There's a rap version of Sleeping Beauty on it and it basically teaches primary kids the basics of singing in a playful way, i.e. by learning how to make animal noises etc.
