Hello Stranger... How Have You Been?

What a busy last few months! 

'PUGFEST' at 'Loveone', Maritime Festival, new orders, getting another part time job, decorating and totally re-vamping our home...  I haven't had time to stop and think!

NEVERTHELESS...  Here is a long and overdue update of what i've been doing, with new projects, progress and pictures...


So, as I mentioned above, I took part at 'Loveone's' first 'PUGFEST' which was wonderful!  Cathy, had a collection of 'pug' themed items for sale in store and to celebrate everything and anything 'pug' related, Cathy invited anyone with a pug or small dog, to drop by the store and say 'woof!' or 'hello!' to you and me :)


We collaborated at this event by running a small competition to win your very own, 'Pug on a Mug!'  You can see an early blogpost about this, by clicking on the picture below...


Here are some additional pictures related to 'PUGFEST'...

Fabulous 'Loveone'

From this exciting event I had the pleasure of meeting a gorgeous pug called 'Percy'...  He was a curious creature and enjoyed wondering around the store... (can't blame him!  So many lovely things to look at in 'Loveone').  I had the joys of painting him onto a mug, as his owner wanted one created for her daughter as a gift...  Here is the picture!  I think this came out brilliant and I loved painting this little man onto a mug :)

The finished product!

From having such fun painting 'pugs onto mugs', I decided to start painting pet bowls...  

A couple I know love their cat Travis, very much...  With this in mind and knowing his 'mum' is rather partial to a hot drink, I created the 'PET SET'....

Right...  I don't want to overload you with pictures and all my projects that have been happening the past month (because there are honestly so many!), I shall stagger a blog post everyday until I have shared all my exciting news with you.  How does that sound?  So everyday for the next week plus, stay tuned!!

Thanks and keep reading...  Trust me, I have a lot of exciting new products and projects to show you :)
