the talking animal cards

Hello! Hope you're all well, and not-too-chilly! I realised I'd forgotten to introduce the new Pocket Carnival card series - talking animals!

To be honest, when I started designing cards I never wanted them to be occassion-specific, because I think it's handy to have a stash of anytime cards. Which is true, but I also really increasingly like giving people cards that SAY SOMETHING!

There are currently 5 cards in the range, however just this morning I've been finishing some new illustrations, so watch out!

My favourite is the Piggie (pictured top), but the cards all were inspired by this cat, which is a part of my kittens coinpurse and pencilcase fabric.

Huzzah for new cards!

Also Huzzah for something completely different I'm working on... it's a work in progress, but feel free to take a look.

Looking up chihuaha photos on Flickr and Google Images is one of my absolute favourite things to do to cheer myself up.

This is today's favourite. Poor dog.

Aside from having two of the most adorable little girls ever (seriously, check her blog), Leslie runs Onegirl Designwrks - she's the designer & maker of some of the most adorable kids things ever.

I met Leslie at a market we both had stalls at a few years back - she's so super lovely, it's always so satisfying when people are as lovely in person as their creations are. And how cute are those little Oobees! And no detachable parts - hooray for baby toys!


Onegirl has a brand new online store, with lots of patterns, Oobee toys and a few quilts - go take a peek!
