New Character - BananaGirl

Meet Bananagirl - BananaGirl represents every job you had where your watch became your best friend and your best friend became your shoulder to cry on.

The job ad said 'Model needed for organic fruit company. Must have a great personality and a clean drivers license'.

She imagined classy countryside getaways, where she would drink wine and eat strawberries and get photographed all day long.

Sadly they handed her a bright yellow suit with a shove towards a busy high street, bursting every little dream she had. Poor Bananagirl.

New Characters - Pregnant Pam & Sunburnt Sally

edit: Changed clothes

Meet Pam - Your first-time expectant mother. She was that friend who never wanted children, never awwed over that cute baby and instead wanted a lifetime of adventure but alas, life is never what you plan.

Not quite the glowing mum to be, she instead feels forever sweaty and flustered but at least with the excuse of eating for 2, is able to divulge her appetite for peanut butter with crushed short bread sarnies!

Meet Sunburnt Sally -

Sally is that grumpy Auntie who came on board with your annual family holiday at Wells-on-sea at the last minute. She forgets all the essentials, packs waay too many hats and shoes and snores like a *itch in the caravan.

By day 2 what always seemed like a good idea at the start turns in a slow lingering daymare with those awkward conversations starting and ending in moans about weather - 'oooh its too blooming hot/cold/wet/grey/dull' (delete as appropriate)

back

So back, the flight there was soo scary (the plane dropped so much everyone was screaming for few seconds and bums came off seats!) that I'm officially scared of flying!

The next day a flight crashed in landing in Thailand nearish by so pretty scary all in all.

But I had lots of fun, as we went there for 'business' first we didn't manage time to get to the beach town which I was quite upset about but there shall be other times.

Will upload photos later.

Random foamy arrows

I've had this arrow design burned on a silk screen for a while but have yet decided where and how to apply it but for some practice I printed it onto foam and I think it looks pretty cool !

I love these colours, so fun and reminds me of a dreamy British summer.

MId pause review

Ahh to be a dog in hot weather!

Is it normal for dogs to sleep all day? I thought it was cats that did this?!

Right now as I type, he is snoring with his one beady eye on me and the other closed. Special talents my boy.

Now it may seem like I'm not up to much Littleclouds wise nowadays and sure I have my distractions but the massive delay isn't entirely down to that.

First off sourcing supplies here is really difficult as I can't google anything local and 8 out of 1o places won't deliver internationally and walking into a shop and asking for something very specific isn't straight forward when you don't know exactly how to say it.

Secondly, I had lots of trouble with my new sewing embroidery combo machine. It is a beauty to run, its crazy good compared to the crapheap that I used to have but the embroidery software doesn't work on Macs so I* went through a headache full journey of doing this and doing that to finally get it to work! (*technically, you could say it was my BF who did it all but meh!)

Lastly screen printing DIY stylee is proving more troublesome here, partly because I'm out of wack with it all (practice really does make perfect) but also the weather is having an effect, the heat seems to dry the ink in the screen quicker & the humidity is making me less patient and much like sewing, sometimes if your not in the mood, you just can't force it.

On a more positive note, the new website is coming along nicely, the new version is more colourful and fun whereas the old one was more artsy and hopefully this time around it will be easier to update as I'm getting help this time around.

On a even more positive note, I am flying to Thailand tomorrow!

Just for the week, Bangkok and Ko Samet so please imagine me with my toes deep in white sand come Wednesday teehee!
