Tonight:Happy Hour with Ollia on Radio Enghien!

A chance meeting at the local supermarket, when I overheard a lady chatting to her child in English, the swapping of business cards and a subsequent cup of coffee together, has led to a wonderful date with Ollia Georges on her local radio show, Happy hour with Ollia at Radio Enghien. Tonight, between 6pm and 7pm Ollia and I are gonna chat about my creations, life as an expat in France, and the 'hand-made future' of my little cottage industry...a totally new axperience for me, and a wonderful occasion to find out what goes on in a radio station! The programme is bilingual in English and French and the frequency: 98FM. Or listen live via their website:www.idfm98.fr

This weekend: Bouquet d'Idées!

This weekend I will be in Issey-les-Moulineaux, taking part in the craft market organised by ACIA. Here are the details:

New Creations...

I have a huge stash of fabrics and what I love doing the most is putting them together: seeing how colours change when you put a print next to another, balancing the combined colours for the eye, créating inspiring print combinations. This is the part that I really enjoy everytime, so I've opted to work more like this for the new collection of creations...so here is my version on Patchwork. With fluo colours thrown in, mismatching of prints and an attempt to break the rules traditionally seen in patchwork, here's a peek at the results...

Deep blue and fluo pink

After a trip to l'Aiguille en Fête in Paris last week (where of course, I spent far far far too much money), and a chance buy at a book sale in my little girl's school, I am newly inspired and motivated to do new things/ to concentrate more on my product offer...here's the inspiration, and watch this space for new créations! Check out this wonderful book Poucette (Hans Christian Anderson) illustrated magnificently by Charlotte Gastaut...
