Hello people, I draw things (usually happy things) and make them into things. Often those are print

I like birds! I was up and out at 5am today to spend some quality time at my local nature reserve, . Cute ducklings and cygnets aside, the wrens and kingfishers were putting on a good show. I saw a kingfisher fishing, 2 kingfishers together and a wren toing and froing a hidden nest with mouthfuls of insects.
Hands up fellow bird nerds! What other wood bird pins should I make?

Sheesh. Whenever I plan to put in some effort on my posts I wind up getting sucked into doomscrolling and *bang* I'm out of time! So here's a post as basic as they come - just a photo of my little vampcat sticker which will be on sale for the first time this Sunday pm at at the Guildhall .
Meantime to save you some time on the socials, here's a summary of my findings - animals are fun, politics both sides of the pond are FUBAR and the tech bros seem determined to kill all creativity. Right Im off to make some stock, just as soon as I've banged my head against this wall for a bit.

See you Sun?

And now realise that a white bit on your logo should be black!!! I'm a very literally person - do I change it or welcome the opportunity to practice a bit cognitive dissonance? (Which doesn't come naturally)

Oh for context Im on a bit of a road trip and spent the day at The British Wildlife centre in Surrey. Blossom was a highlight on the week that it looks like the badger cull is caput. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

Excited that I'll get the chance to trade at Levenshulme tomorrow! I bloody you Levy! Don't ask me how much or you may regret setting me off. Anyhoo tomorrow, in predicted sunshine, is Levy market 3.0 this time with added . Hope you good folk of Levenshulme will be there - looks like its a great line up with new faces and some old ones like me!

I've adopted Stockport, but I was born (sharp intake of breath) southern. Please don't hold it against me.

I get down to Gloucestershire (not the posh bit) about once a month, this weekend being one of those times. See here, Mama Badger and I leaving an excellently named pub in Eastington after a spot of lunch.

Hey! Happy new year! I got my books and taxes done so fast this year that I've got time to be making and planning which is a right delight. Of course, laser cutting my pins is a cold cold job in January as the window has to stay open so I can vent things properly... so I'm in literally ALL THE LAYERS! I mean furry top, furry joggers, furry socks, furry dressing gown, fingerless gloves, fleece lined oversized bobble hat... It's not quite what I imagined when I got the laser...

Anyhoo how ya doing? Keeping warm?

Oh and kudos to kristopher de los rios via unsplash for the stock pic of the slim sensibly dressed laser operator https://unsplash.com/photos/a-woman-in-a-lab-coat-and-goggles-hZ-W1F_SDyI?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditShareLink

Thank you dear follower for your support over the last year. It’s been a bit rubbish across the board hasn’t it? So us weirdos need to hang together. Here’s hoping next year is better. In the meantime here’s a seasonal image from this year’s cards that no one asked for!

Finally! Christmas shopping news from me! I've got 70% of my voice back after nearly 7 weeks (& many cancelled events) So I will be at on Sunday 30th!!!! Come along, but be gentle with me as i may still be a bit croaky.
Then on Monday 1st and my best Christmas buddies will be in in the merseyway Stockport for one week only! That's a shorter residence than we've had before so you'll need to act quick and I know that Stopfordians won't want to miss this!
After so long out of action its actually a wee bit intimidating but boy oh boy do I need to see your smiling faces 😀😃🙂🙃

Shops! Thank goodness for the heroes who run independent shops and pop up shops selling little makers' goods in these uncertain times!!!! I'm especially grateful to places like in and at the moment as I still don't have my voice after 6 weeks... so they are the bastions from which you can still buy things me while I skulk voiceless at home!

I'm also looking forward to a week long residence in , merseyway stickport with and friends 1 to 7 December 😀

I do have a wee bit of voice coming back so my fingers are well and truly crossed that I'll be able to make the last couple of markets this year.... fingers crossed 🤞 Go on, cross those fingers! Are they crossed? Good. Thanks!

Name that Manchester location! I'll be launching my new prints at Sat 11 Oct. If you've chatted with me in the last few months you may already know what I've been up to (if not, can you guess?) and how slow progress has been... but we're there!
On to the next - I hear that have been troll problems at not one, but two locations
