Half Price Oreo Cushions & Instagram Photo A Day: week 1

If you're one of my twitter pals, you will already have seen that I am currently offering my Oreo Cushions (in a never before seen chocolate colour- they previoulsy looked like this) at Half Price. After retailing at £30.00, I'll be selling the last batch I made for only £15.00 each. And after this lot's gone- I've decided to discontinue this one for good- to concentrate on a solely British biscuit selection.

Lots have been given new homes already- and if you'd like a cuddle oreo in your life visit my shop now- there's very limited stocks- and as I said, once they're gone, they are GONE!

Last week I decided to take part in the Instagram Photo a Day in January challenge- and I'm really enjoying it so far! You can see my daily photos so far in my Flickr set, or by following me on instagram (username: nikkimcwilliams). Photography is one of my all-time loves: and I know I should really make time to take more photographs.

I try to travel light on a daily basis (hence the overwhelming ratio of instagram photos to actual camera photos (I have a Canon G11, if anyone was curious) but I'd really like to do a project that will encourage me to take more pictures. I've been inspired by The Dainty Squid to give a Photo A Week in 2011 project a go. It sounds like a big commitment, but I'll have a think about a worthy subject and let you all know. Watch this space!

It's All Greek To Me: Oreos

I've had this one under my hat for a little while now- but I'm now so excited to show off the new cushion in my collection- inspired by the best black and white biscuits going: Oreos!

I was doing a bit of research on Oreos (which honestly consisted of more than just eating them) and I came across a few interesting facts. One of which is that the word "oreo" means Lovely in greek (so my greek mum tells me) which I can definitely agree with.

My new Oreo inspired cushions will be available to buy soon in my Folksy and Etsy shops in time for Mother's day!

Biscuity doodles

Although I draw all the time, not much of it seems to find its way onto my blog, which I'm going to make a conscious effort to do something about!

Without giving too much away, these tasty treats are my half of a collaboration with Lauren Gentry for a Zine Showcase in Glasgow.

More information on where our art will be popping up, very soon!
