December 2010 to January 2011 (because I have been a bad blogger...)

It is now well into 2011 and I have been so busy with Christmas, New year, University course work and life in general that I haven't written a new post since November. So I will catch you up on a few things that have happened over the past few months:

At the beginning of December I took part in the Funky Xmas Market in Amsterdam, I stood out in the freezing cold and high winds for 6 hours and only sold Bill the elephant (and I sold him to my friend), so I can safely say it was a waste of time and money. So 2011 brings the year of new stockists, instead of trying to make money through craft fairs I will get my work in to more shops, so watch my blog for updates on new stockists.

Over Christmas I managed to sell some stockings and christmas decorations, I make only a few of them so next Christmas I will make more as they sell well :)

At the Beginning of January I added a new critter to the crew, Victor het Varken (victor the pig). I really enjoy making critters, so this year I will be adding even more animals, any suggestions or requests would be great as I can never think of new animals to make!

his cute little tail :)

So that is what I have been up to, and writing 4 4000 word essays for my masters course. The next few months will be I will be super busy with my masters so new products and blog posts may be absent for a while, but come April I will be back onto working on my business at least 1 day per week so new things will be happening then, I will keep you updated with other goings on between now and then :)

Coming soon: 

My new revamped website should be up in the new month or so.

New products: critters and some new more varied products (so no more scarves, they drive me batty!)

Hopefully I will be blogging more regularly now, and look forward to any suggestions for new critters :)

New Flyer and photos for my website

Here is the flyer I made to advertise my products for the run up to Christmas. What do you think?

Some images of my work that I took at the weekend. I think they look good on the wood.

Hoog en laag: first glimpse

So I have neglected my blog for over a month now and am very disappointed in myself. I have had a really busy September though, I started a Masters course in Design cultures at the VU in Amsterdam and am enjoying it a lot. I am also in the process of registering my business so it's official and I can really have a go at making it successful. On the downside this means that designing has taken a back seat and I hardly get anytime to sit down and really get my teeth into new ideas, but I have had a few free days recently and have come up with quite a few designs and here is the first that I have actually got around to making:

It's called Stenen and will be in my etsy shop soon and hopefully will have some friends joining it from my Hoog en Laag collection.

The Critters take over Woool!

I went and did a little photo shoot at Woool today. I had the best models, my critters:

Spot the squirrel!

Get down to Woool now before they all go :)
