100 Happy Days - 26 - 30

I'm loving all my happy days! I'm also really enjoying seeing other people's photos, it's so nice seeing everyone's happy moments.

26 - I finally received my copy of Preacher Book 3 in the post. I think it's too scary for poor wee Chi though!

27 - It's a great week for post, look at these amazing bright blue shoes I bought in the sale from London Rebel. So pretty! Comfortable too, yus. Chi was more interested in the box, she was sliiiightly too big to fit into it, but it was funny watching her try.

28 - I was reminiscing about how cute Chi was when she was a kitten and I found this photo of her! Oh my god, LOOK at her tiny little face!!

29. I'm super excited about our new Jellyfish Stud Earrings!

30. I am completely addicted to Disco Zoo, probably the most ridiculous iPhone game ever. But LOOK! Unicorns!!

Jellyfish Stud Earrings

These little guys are the most recent addition to my online shop and I LOVE them! They're so tiny and I can't decide whether the pink or lilac version is my favourite. I experimented with cutting them in iridescent acrylic (which is probably the coolest thing ever) but they were too small and fragile for that type of acrylic and their little legs (tendrils? tentacles??) kept breaking off. Noooo!

I'm thinking about making some mirrored acrylic versions, probably in mirrored pink and maybe purple too. Any other suggestions?

You can get your own Jellyfish Stud Earrings at Hand Over Your Fairy Cakes.

100 Happy Days - 21 - 25

Some more of my photos from 100 Happy Days. Are you taking part?

21 - After I finished my run of 4 night shifts I met my boyfriend for a brunch date at Kember and Jones for these amaaaazing waffles.

22 - I cheated a bit and used a video for day 22. I went to the Power of Scotland vs. New Wheeled Order (Scotland vs. Manchester) men's roller derby bout: it was so exciting!!

23 - This wee guy found my stash of make-up sponges and chewed EVERY SINGLE ONE. Look at her cute little face though, I can't be angry with her. Awww.

24 - We had some people round to watch some truly awful films and eat vast quantities of popcorn. I love movie night!

25 - Another quiet night in, but this time with my boyfriend, Chi the cat and this tub of frozen yoghurt. Its so good!

Commissions

I've recently been lucky enough to be asked to make some super fun commission pieces for a couple of lovely ladies from Glasgow Roller Derby!

Five Star Sylk requested a fairly self-explanatory "Sylk" with 5 stars at the top, in her favourite football team's colours.

She also requested a secret surprise birthday present for Phoenix Fatale. I drew this flame-based design and showed it to Sylk (who loved it, phew!). I had both designs laser cut in mirror acrylic on a black background which has really helped the designs stand out.

What do you think? You can see a few more commissions I've done in the Custom Orders section of the website. If you've got any ideas you'd like to chat about then let me know!

100 Happy Day - 16 - 20

I'm struggling to narrow my happy times into one photo a day. That can only be good, right?

16 - Here's my unsuspecting boyfriend about to be Sneak Attacked by Chi the Attack Cat.

17 - We went to an amazing wedding in a castle near Edinburgh, it was so nice! Keith liked the suit of armour in the tophat.

18 - I'm always thrilled by new comics and Hellblazer is one of my favourites. They arrived just before I started nightshift; it was good to have something to read on the bus.

19 - I bought this beautiful Tara Starlet top in the sale. I love the yellow polka dots!

20 - This was a regram from @lorimacsmif on Instagram who won my competition to win this limited edition Heart Balloon Brooch in pink glitter and these Glitter Red Heart Stud Earrings. I'm so glad she liked them!

You can check out my Instagram here for more pictures (and more competitions) - hurrah!

100 Happy Days - 11 -15

More happy days! A couple of these are repeats of my previous post about Valentine's Day, but I've put them in anyway, because yay.

11 - We decided that what we definitely didn't do enough of was bowling. So we went bowling. I ALMOST WON! Once. That never happens, I'm usually last so I was very excited. Slightly disappointed that we had to wear our own shoes and didn't get to wear bowling shoes. Next time I am going in high heels so bowling shoes are enforced.

12 - I spent Tuesday evening getting on with some work and hanging out with my favourite people. I am sitting next to the fire and stealing all the warms, so Chi the Cat is sitting on me.

13 - How cute is this little guy?! I ordered a box of these to go to my boyfriend's work for Valentines Day, but they arrived a bit early. He seemed quite pleased with them, and they were tasty! They are from Meow Meow Cookies and you can get a huge variety of designs.

14 - My awesome boyfriend made me breakfast in bed before work on Valentines Day - it was ace! It's poached eggs and bacon in a bagel. Yum! This is my favourite plate, it's from We Love Karou - swoon (I bought mine in the sale!).

15 - We went to a very lovely wedding on Saturday - this was my dessert! Lemon tart with crème fraîche ice cream and that fancy, jaggy stuff on top. Yep. Fancy jaggy stuff.

Valentine's Day

How was everyone's Valentine's Day? We don't normally make a big thing of it, but my boyfriend put so much effort in this year that I wanted to share a few photos.

Despite us both working Keith managed to get up early enough to make me breakfast in bed. Bagels with bacon and poached eggs! I can't manage a poached egg ever, never mind at 7am. Hero.

I got these super cute cat cookie lollies delivered to his work as a surprise. He was mainly confused initially I think, but he seemed to like them. They're from Meow Meow Cookies and you can get LOADS of cute designs!

Keith go me these beautiful flowers which Chi has now claimed as her own. Not for cats. He also gave me some tickets to see Ben Folds which I am SO excited about. Again, not for cats.

Keith also made dinner (hurrah!); here's him being excited for prawn cocktail, '90's starters are awesome.

Perfect steak, carrots and potatoes...

...and tasty chocolate cake for dessert.

I gave him these slightly bizarre, but kind of cute marshmallows - they've got pictures of us printed on them! We haven't actually eaten any of them yet, but they look pretty cool. I got them from Boomf who unfortunately had a printing problem so they arrived a bit late.

No Chi, flowers are still NOT FOR CATS. Sorry wee pal.

What did everyone else do for Valentine's Day? Ours was quiet, but lovely! I don't really like going out, it's always far too busy.
