Hows that for alliteration? Its been a great and very productive week here. All my free time has been spent working on secret projects which will all be revealed in good time (oooh the mystery!) and working on my latest custom, and 8″ Qee. We also had an epic fancy dress party over the lovely long weekend.
I’m taking part in the Watford 5k on June 27th to raise money for Cancer Research, a very worthy cause which is close to my heart. I’m a little nervous about it as i’ve never ran in an event before, if you could sponsor me i would be so grateful. You dont have to be in Britain to donate, i’m really close to my fundraising goal of £100, so every £1 helps 
If you’re in the area come down on the day it looks like its going to be a fun event, plus you get to see my sweaty running face, ha ha!
Head on over to senioritis’s site for a feature with yours truly. Thanks Garrick for interviewing me, im very flattered ^__^

Super Sweet Heart is a giant, heart shaped resin pendant necklace that’s been backed by tons of real rainbow candy sprinkles! Each pendant is handmade in the USA by Brigitte of Zombukis Love you. The candies are set back in the pendant so they warp and distort around the edges of the clear resin, cosmic! The pendant has been sealed with resin for extra shine and protection.

And how gorgeous are those glass eyes? i just love them, i’d love to see how they’re made. The rest of his look will stay secret until he’s all finished!

Now in their second series the Droplets continue to delight with their simple design and their sweet and curious personality. When he’s not bringing his crisp, colourful style to everything he touches Gav is Senior Designer of the digital department at the illustrious Aardman Animations. I am delighted to be stocking series 2 Droplets through the A Little Stranger Shop.
Is Strange your real name? cause thats awesome!
Haha it is yeap! When I was a kid I don’t think I was too enamoured with it as the other kids used to take the mickey but as I got older i loved it, and especially trying to make a name for yourself in the design world, a weird surname helps!
Hows your week been? I feel like i haven’t been up to much this week, a lot of late nights and deadlines but i managed to fit in lots of fun last weekend
I was very pleased to wake up this morning and find alittlestranger.com on the front page of the Website Bakery. The site is a online exhibition of creativeness and i’m very flattered to be part of it, thanks Kimberly! Its a really inspirational site, bringing together creative bunnies from all different disciplines, some of my favourites are Muddy Cloud (eeee so cute!) and Lydia Meiying who creates beautiful illustrations that translate to fabric and textile design.

I’m very happy to make these Monster Paws by Stitches and Glue available through the shop in 4 different colour combinations.

Hello! How are you on this lovely Friday? I’ve properly got the Friday feeling this morning - found out this morning that i am going to Hospitality next weekend (hip hip hooray! thanks Tony!) and today i’m off for a day of shopping and then to see Wicked with my sister, then heading for a friends birthday drinks after. So i’d better write this quick so i can get ready! Its Friday and you know what that means, Week in Pictures! How has this week been treating you? Mine has been good, a bit of working on secret projects, a lot of working overtime to get jobs done on time!
