Guerilla art

I'm sorry that my posts are a little irregular at the moment, since arriving home from paris I have found out that I need to move flat in two weeks!! as our landlady hasn't paid her mortgage... rather scary!
I have therefore been desperatley flat hunting!.. on the plus side though and met one of my oldest and best friends for dinner last night and she bought me the most amazing book....
its called Guerilla art kit and has all kinds of amazing ideas to brighten up peoples days by creating everything from moss graffiti to knitted tags, book leave-behind tags and my favourite 'you are here' stickers to paste anywhere! I cant wait to start working through it. x

these fabric covered letters in a store in paris are so cute.

I'm trying to have a major clearout and get rid of loads of clothes that i dont wear, however a few of them I love the prints, even if they are faded beyond repair.

I have therefore decided to re-use the fabric to make various bits and bobs including this adorable bird...


I spent the other night carefully cutting (and then not so carefully cutting) all the buttins off and i'm hoping to make the birds this weekend.. I'll let you know!

Home.....

Home.. not so sweet home..


I am so sad to be back, and at work! Paris was absolutly lovely, the weather held out and we just pottered around drinking wine and eating crepes.
I ended up spending a ridiculous amount of money due to the strength of the euro and also ate too many maccarons but all in all a fantastic trip... I have to wait until thursday to pick up my diana pictures (ouch for the processing costs!) and i wont even know if they have come out until i receive them .. the tension!

Here are a few bad digital pics from the flea markets though!
