so as i mentioned in my post on Sunday, i've spent the past few days working busily on various commissions for clients across in the UK, there've been logo/banner designs for a cupcake business, CD and book cover designs for a meditative training centre as well as a few new flyer designs for various vintage festivals/shows around the country
busy busy busy
and STILL no proper start on any college work :O
for the first time in my life i think i'm going to have to stop accepting new commissions! something i thought i'd never ever do
sad times :(
anyway, in the midst of all my editing/business meetings over the phone/drawing today, i popped up the hill to check to postbox and was delighted to see that my little prize had arrived from my friend Laura at 'I Love Crafty'
she ran a little giveaway on her blog and i was one of the runners up so i won a super duper cute pair of battenberg bow earrings!
and they arrived in the cutest, teeniest little package ever!
and had a cute mini packet of love hearts all wrapped up with them!
so lovely! i love little surprise parcels like that! i mean i knew i'd won the earrings but i'd sort of forgotten about them being posted out, so busy i forgot i'd won a prize! geez louise!!!
anyway, I Love Crafty is the most AMAZING shop in Bristol over in the UK, sadly i've never been to it myself but i love seeing snaps and vids of it on Laura's blog/site/facebook page
it looks absolutely divine! and i really REALLY hope i get to visit it one day and meet Laura in person! oh lord i can just imagine, it will be the longest shop post ever... i'll just want to snap so many photos of such an incredible store!!!
luckily though, Laura also sells lots of lovely handmade crafty and kawaii type things online as well, so even if you can't make it to the actual shop, you can still treat yourself (or someone else!) to something super duper cute and sweet!
like i said hopefully one day i'll get to go myself so i'll do a MAHOOOSIVE feature about the shop then (i sooo will!) but in the meantime i recommend that you check out the awesome ILC website here - I Love Crafty
you can also 'Like' the shop via facebook - I Love Crafty
and follow Laura on twitter for updates and info about the shop + all her crafty/arty goings on - @ilovecrafty
so thanks again to the v lovely Laura for sending me the divine little earrings! :)

in other news, i found out this morning that red bubble have just started selling iPhone covers featuring members artwork/designs
i already sell iPhone covers and skins via Society6 (you can see them all here - Jade's iPhone covers)
but i've a few different designs available via red bubble now, here's the full range so far...
my red bubble shop is here - Jade's Red Bubble shop
oh and fyi i don't set the prices, if i did... they'd be a lot lower! ;)
ps - and all of the designs there are also available as stickers + printed on t-shirts, hoodies and baby onesies.

apart from all that i've not really much else to share, maybe because i haven't been out of the house (other than to check the postbox) since last Friday!
oh AND i also spent a good 2 hours last night getting a crash course in web coding
now before you snigger, i've been able to (v basically) code stuff for my blog and my tumblr for years but as far as i was concerned, my website existed via magic and witchcraft, maybe a bit of fairy dust...
however my Jedi Master (aka Richard my web designer pal) has now taught me everything i needed to know to update the site + add images etc
it was mind bogglingly insane and complicated but 100% worth the epic coding headache!
right, back to college for me tomorrow, i think the plan is to get some printing done (if myself or Jennie remember how to do it!) so who knows, i might have some cool stuff to post about tomorrow!
then again maybe not!
so until next time, that's all folks... ◕‿◕ ★ xX
