Jumpers and Jamboree: A Success!

After only a few very busy days of organisation, Jumpers and Jamboree kicked off on Tuesday night with 20 fabulous exhibitors and hoardes of excited visitors! A huge thank-you to all of our exhibitors who showed such an eclectic variety of beautiful and well-made work, and everyone who came along for a peep! My personal highlights included the musical banjo interludes, presenting Jen Collins with her surprise birthday cake and Lauren McCorkindale and Jenni Mackenzie's hilarious beardy banter!




Thank you also to Kokomo's who stopped at nothing to help us in hosting our night and Paddy Stevenson, our photographer for the night, who did a brilliant job capturing the atmosphere of the night. For all of the photos, join the J&J Flickr group.

Jen, Lauren and I were so chuffed with the whole night that we've already talked about having another...so stay tuned for more info!

Something To Do, If You're Hungry!

My Fry-Up Breakfast badge has been featured in Lauren Gentry's fantastic Something to Do Zine! Each issue is a visual and interactive treat, with a selection of downloadable/printable/photocopyable artwork and also an online project for you to be part of. Lauren's last zine featured the excellent "How many ways can you draw an apple" project, to which received contributions from far and wide. You can have a peep at the assortment of apple drawings here or download and print your own copy of the new edition.

The Fry-Up Breakfast badge is available to buy in my Folksy shop.
