Where does the time go? I have completely neglected my poor blog of late, but I have had a good excuse - I have been kept busy by lots of wedding orders (yippee!), an illustration project, and I've also been preparing for my involvement in a new local florists opening next week. The owner had a brilliant idea to create a kind of one-stop wedding shop, so when customers come in for wedding flower ideas, they can also look at other local wedding suppliers items. Apparently, I'm going to be featured in the local paper next week, following the grand opening, which I am very excited about as so far, I have been purely an online business and I'm not sure most of my local area even know I exist!

Here's a couple of items I've done recently - a 'chocolate and cream' table plan..




..and some thank you cards..



I bought myself a new camera this week, a Sony Cybershot (ickle silver hand sized camera!), which is teeeny compared to my usual Nikon D80 (big professional serious camera!). As I was looking for some recent family photos for a birthday card, I realised that I hadn't taken a single photo of family and friends for around 2 years (as I only had the big camera and it's not something you want to lug around to weddings and get-togethers)! Anyway, since I have been doing the wedding stationery work, I have not taken any photos at all (except to put pictures of my stuff on my blog and website), so I think I can officially stop calling myself a 'photographer' now! So what am I? A wedding stationery maker? Seems a bit of a mouthful.. Plus I intend to make other stationery too - christenings, funerals, etc.. So what do I call myself?! I'll have to think about that one.. I've, cheekily, carried on calling myself a photographer for French class as 'je suis photographe' is so much easier than the reality, especially when I don't even know what the English is yet!!
