Sunny

Last night I couldn't sleep till 4am which has messed up my day today but it is gloriously sunny and clear enough to just see Lantau Island in the far distance, I love mountains but only combined with water so I'm very happy here!
And I caught a small whiff of salty sea which made me feel like a child at the seaside but minus the ice cream...hmm must sort that out.

Today I am finishing off some stockist restocks then off to the post office today but I came across this really inspiring article earlier today from Tara Gentile on this site called 'Dailyworth' which you should read! It makes you feel like anything is possible if you believe in yourself and have perseverance which feels quite liberating in many ways.

Some recent experiments and makings....

this and that and so on

Today it rained hard, quite violently for a little while and when it suddenly stopped I looked out the window to notice the clouds had fallen....

I wonder what its like to stand inside a cloud, okay I know its just misty looking as that is what its like inside a plane but I wonder what it feels and smells like. I love clouds they are magical.

And then I made something new from an old screen I burned yonks ago. The flowery lining fabric is from this little sewing/fabric shop I used to always go to in Lewisham, god seems so so so long ago now. nothing important & E M P T Y inside

And this was the last photo I took of Sausage before he left last weekend. I still really miss him and feel a little regretful that we didn't adopt him, he had these amazing soppy eyes that really tugged at your heart strings :(

EGGCELLANT

So I haven't been very active recently Littleclouds wise, other than catching up with shop orders and some restocks I've been in a creative slump it feels like ages ago since I've had fun with a new design. Tis catch 22, the worry of not being productive doesn't make you more productive etc so today I'm going to kick back and draw for a bit, maybe just do some random screen printing and try not to think about all the niggles of the world.


In canine world news, Sausage has been adopted and is getting picked up this Saturday.... boooohooo ! This photo is him crying 'NOOOOOOOO' when I told him the news, oh and the recipe book behind him is Eggcellant! *boomboom*

4 bits of news

So item number 1 is the unveiling of a new stockist, HannahZakari which I was more than a little chuffed about as I've admired this online boutique for a long time and love their quirky slant on the whole gift buying saga so hurrah! And everything is in good old British pound sterling :D double hurrah!


Item number 2 is also the news of a new stockist in the shape of Almondtreeframes which is a gift shop cum frame making retail space in Australia ! It is a fairly new shop and I've been following their shop renovations and spying on all the other designers on offer on their blog here and if you go back a little you can see more photos of their lovely shop!

So news number 3 is we fostered a dachshund about a week ago now but been too busy to show and tell about him, hes a very sweet dog and I know it won't be long until he is adopted which makes me miss him already :(
Can anyone guess what his name is?! His name is....wait for it.......SAUSAGE!
I can tell you now its more than a little embarrassing to shout it out in public, especially when people can't actually see him and they just think I'm incredibly hungry or/and crazy.
I have a really funny video of him which I will upload as soon as I find the camera lead!

So far I've unintentionally announced my bits of news chronologically with my latest news being that I moved and I'm so so happy right now!
We've moved to another part of Hong Kong altogether and its less busy here and we're near the sea like 10 mins walk to the beach and its just pretty here, so far I love it and feel fancy in our lovely new flat and and and and one of the best things about this flat is that I will have a much bigger studio.

Photos up asap!
