I love all things craft related and Christmas is the perfect time to get creative and if you need inspiration, look at the work of a talented stylists.  One of my favorite stylists is Paul Howe and fortunately he has a fab blog – www.sweetpaul.com.

It’s been a busy few weeks with nativity plays, carol concerts and decking the house in preparation for Christmas, hence the slack update.  Whilst I plan to take it easy and put most my work commitments aside until January, I did want to do this quick update to let you know about a great trade show that I have been invited to.

Bubble London started life in New York and now also shows at Olympia 2, with the best in childrenswear and accessories.  Thankfully this is not one of those huge exhibitions that takes all day and consists of endlessly walking past one non-descript stand after another in the desperate hope of finding something to make the trip worthwhile – every stand is special and the show small but perfectly formed.  If you can make it I would highly recommend it and look forward to meeting you there.

Also, I wanted to quickly mention the work of a women I greatly admire – Dorothy Rowe.  Her views on life are simple yet so insightful and worth considering. I mention this now because I was just reading one of her articles before writing and did not want to forget to share this with you.

I shall touch base after Christmas, but in the meantime, I hope it’s a good one.
