hey all you lovely e-people who have been kind enough to be interested in what i get up to.
my wonkybutton blog is now moving over to my wonkybutton website.
my clever husband has made it all simple and clean and nice (with no cobwebs except for my old clunky animated wonkybutton picture book site which i feel protectivly nostalgic about so have left it up there)
so soon there will be my online shop as well as blog and website on my wonkybutton site.
please keep popping over to have a peep
thanks all

le troll swap
whoop whoop hark at the french trollswap!
their french names did make me chuckle i have to say...
timothy limpets french name is Hippolyte Patel...
and tabitha lumpits french name is Petula Petal
there is something weirdly satisfying seeing what looks like your own handwriting in a book, with words you have written, in a different language that you cannot speak (i flunked my french a level years ago oops!)
handmade bear cards
some handmade cards i will be selling at this years artwave in lewes
these bears have nice sparkly tummies, what is there not to love?!

more brooches!
gearing up for my wonkybutton open house at the end of august as part of Lewes' Artwave season
here are more brooches i will be selling (for £6.50)
i do hope people will come. am quite nervous and wonder if anyone will actually come.. what was i thinking?!
there will be nice cakes and bunting and lovely old music playing on the record player.
so if you live nearby or fancy a weekend jaunt to the beautiful town of lewes, please come and visit!
i guess if nobody comes, i can al\ways eat all the cake myself while i am waltzing about like a loon in my front room.

bunnies for charity
yes i know i know.... yet more bunnies..... but it has been easter, and i am a sleep deprived mummy of new baby so have to do something that is easy peasy and doesnt use up my limited brain cells.
anyway, this happens to be for a very good cause for lovely and amazing emi howe who is raising money for kids cancer charities with her bonkers "The Pants Hat Project" (have a look at her blog HERE!)i did these illustrations for her to auction at a fund raising event for charity.
so i hope they help raise a bit of money (fingers crossed)
look, bunnies in pants! (apart from one naughty bunny hee hee!)
