Feelin All Christmasy?

How is it only 7 sleeps till Christmas?! It was only April like 5 minuets ago??!?

So the last 6 weeks have been a mad rush of illustrations work, ear infections, shop orders, bad backs, new tattoos and buying our first fake christmas tree, I really don't know where the time goes?

Yes we have indeed invested in our first ever fake christmas tree, I'm not sure if this make me feel a little dirty or not but I got so sick of the real trees slowly dying in front of us year after year then having to chop up their twiggy corpses to go on the log burner, not to mention real trees are not cheap and frankly we couldn't afford to buy another one. So for less than the price of a real tree we got a pretty good fake one from B&Q....

It is way to tall for our little cottage but Rich and I have now amassed such a large collected of vintage and new glass baubles that anything smaller wouldn't have fit them all on. As it was Rich did have to hack saw off a few inches so it didn't scrape the ceiling. Screw it, its once a year and I happen to be of the opinion that you either go big with Christmas or you shut the hell up!

I think my fav decoration is my vintage kitsch tinsel star that I found in the bottom of a tin of old decorations I got from a boot sale in the summer for £1.

Yay, it makes us happy!

In other news I had one of my xmas prezzy's in November in the form of another tattoo to make up the set I designed a few years ago, its hard to justify spending on frivolous things like this when you need to keep the pennies for things like new roofs but my lovely Mum or rather Santa offered to pay.

Most of the rest of the last 5 weeks has seen me tethered to my desk in the studio cutting and printing like crazy to fill orders in my shop, things are starting to quieten down the closer we get to the big day which Im a little grateful for as I really need to find time to do the boring bits of the business like tax returns (Im terrible at self motivation)...

You know your shipping a lot of stuff when the guys in the Post Office stop asking you the security question of 'whats in the box?' because the answers always the same! If anyones interested I will be having a post xmas sale in my shop which you can find here.

In between orders (and horribly recurrent ear infections!) I've been trying to get my own little cards printed up for my family and friends, Im going to ruin the surprise right now by putting pics up but I'll forget otherwise and Im really happy with how cute they came out.

So thats it for now, Im hoping we might actually get to leave the house at some point over the holidays as Im sick of the sight of our office! Anyway here to wish you all a Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year is Rich and Stella enjoying our new egg chair...

...see you in 2016!!
