Meet Alex.

This is Alex, and what he says is true, he is now top chap at SheDraws, which also means the SHOP is back open!

YAY!

I'm so pleased it is open and that Alex is going to be running and designing for the shop.

At the moment there is no new stock, but we have some favourites left, although very limited stock might I add, but you can see grab some goodies for Christmas, and hopefully we can get you some lovely jubbly designs ready soon.

Feel free to let us know what your favourite items are in the shop and what designs you like best so we can get creating some even better stuff.

So far

So far my new job and home is going really well. I really like my knew job, it's something I have always dreamed of, what I really wanted to do and I really do have to pinch myself when i leave work because I just can't believe I am there. When I am at work, working on these great briefs and seeing what everyone else is getting to do, I just take it with a pinch of salt and only when I come home, I think wow.

I wish I could tell you all about the gorgeous things we're all designing but since we work for far ahead, although for christmas 2011 it's hard to say anything without giving it all away! I hope you can understand!

I haven't blogged for a while now, but I have been thinking about it and thinking about what I can now do now i'm not selling like before. I hope that my blog can brings fresh, lovely things, a feast for the eyes, perhaps some DIY projects and just things I see and are inspired by. Today I will leave you with some pictures of Celia Birtwell's new season at John Lewis. Looooove her stuff and I'd really love the white top.

Bye for now!

A gift for you

Here I have a little gift for you! It's a vintage telegram, which once was a telegram to congratulate my mum & her brothers birth. I scanned this in an cleaned it up so we can all have some telegram love so you can just take it off my blog and get writing a telegram to your friends!

This wonderful design of birds and owls is a by Barbara Jones, who designed all sorts of other wonderful illustrations back in the 50's & 60's.

Also, I hope you're liking my new blog layout, I decided to go back to "draw glue glitter make" since I now have my She Draws shop, but also my freelance illustrations as Laura Figiel and this will be a great grounding for inbetween both these projects. I think it has given me some direction too as i'm a bad blogger :(

P.S I'm giving lots of goodies away with sales in my Folksy shop for very nearly reaching 300 sales. I'm just two away and I will be giving goodies away with sales upto 300 but also a few after to keep the buzz! There are some tshirt bargain too.

Kick in the bum.

I decided I really need to kick my small business into shape and to get some sales I need to make some things. Sometimes I get shy about making new things, about spending the money before hand and just lack a bit of confidence. It doesn't really help when people don't see this is a chance to make money but I do (or i think anyway). I've noticed a small increase in my sales and so my items must be saleable. Making new things will obviously get more buying eyes to my shop and so this is my plan. 

Today I have finished a number of new pendant, earrings and buttons. I have listed a few already and there are still many buttons that haven't been finish

ed yet, but you can have the first peek at the completed collection.

Let me know your thoughts!

Thankyou.
