I'm sure many of you know that as well as being an artist I run a little craft business with my sister and we are called Fi & Me . This weekend saw our return to the craft fair scene after a two month break after Christmas. We got up early on Saturday morning to travel by train to Sheffield to the university SU.  During the journey Lucy was busy sewing buttons on her beautiful new creations - vintage fabric iPhone covers (see photo below), whilst I played with my sock monkeys and took the occasional photo out of the train window. I was extremely excited to be having a day out! As a busy mum to an energetic 3 year old I don't often get this oppor...

There's a bit of monkey madness going on at the Love Love Drawing blog today isn't there?! I decided last night that my blog needed updating, especially if I am going to go freelance soon. Hopefully this will attract more people to the websites in time for the Fi&Me launch which is imminent! Business cards ordered, logo designed, stamp on it's way...thank you Lu! I like my new banner but I'm just trialing it for a bit...as I don't want to focus souly on monkeys (even though I love making and drawing them!) I have been working on developing my mini sock monkeys (or Minkeys) over summer and I'm really pleased with how they've turned out. I actually gave the pink striped one to my sister for her birthday and she called her Penny!
