Back



surely arriving back from the 
Maldives 
gives me permission 


for a little bit of 
"cheesy" photography ;) 



Celebrating

today e-toile is celebrating
500 posts!!! 


and i am celebrating...
perseverance. 

perseverance is an attribute of 
my personality i am only starting to discover... 
i've never been really good at persevering, 
at routines or at carrying on with one thing for too long.



that's why having blogged for over 2 years now,  
and
finding joy in coming up 
with new ideas to share every day
is worth celebrating!

i might even add that i'm proud of it ;) 

 drawing inspired by Lisa Congdon

...


done! 
after a few nightshifts and a few nightmares



my fabrics are printed, sorted and ready 
for the sewing lady!
(i'm so glad i'm not doing the sewing... it would take me weeks!)
fingers crossed that it all goes well. 

and now...


 i'm off to the Maldives!!!
see you back here soon 
xx




Behind the scenes



a little peek at my makeshift 
screen printing station.



a good thing my husband is in 
the Maldives surfing his heart out...
i'm not sure he would appreciate his car being used as 
a drying rack ;) 




my little "badass" flower






In the studio

i won't lie, the pressure is on 
and an air of panic is 
creeping in my studio...

less than a month to go to the Christmas Fair
plus i'm away next week!

i've been working like a little soldier
and there is still SO much to do...


 freshly screen printed fabric

next screen ready

deciding on tags, signature and finishes...
