Beavers and zebras!

The beaver title is in reference to me..just call me Jenny "the beaver" Blair!...(or maybe not..sounds slightly x-rated now I say it out loud!)
My point is I have been busy busy..like the proverbial beaver. Its amazing what can be achieved in a couple of extra hours a day. (praise be to nursery!)

A rainbow of "subirdia" books for the fabby Starfish Studio.

A new book for my etsy shop, featuring my "waiting for lift off" print.
Flamboyant flamingo books for storing outrageous dreams and pink inclinations!
Another rainbow of dinky books for documenting your staple 3 good things a day in! (all for Starfish Studio too)

Phewee...and will you believe I've even managed to tackle the ironing pile BEFORE sunday evenings last minute effort! Let me stop and pat myself on the back!!

As for the zebra reference...I'm afraid no there's no hidden stripy friend at the end of this post just a sparkling discovery gained from a children's progamme no less.....
Did you know that a group of zebra's is called a "dazzle"?!
Well slap my thigh..how fantastic is that?!....There may well have to be some dazzling zebras making an appearance here very soon! :)
Hope you all have a fantastic weekend x

    p.s. Your "new name" made me laugh (a LOT) out loud! I think that one would be better saved for another profession ;)

  10. In between laughing uproariously about the whole beaver thing (I'm glad you noticed, i was worried about telling you!) I am so excited about all you've made. You have got into the groove as Madonna would say. :) I wish i was a zebra - i'd love to be part of a dazzle...

  14. A dazzle eh? Cool name. Better than a murder of crows. Poor crows to be lumbered with that collective name! I think we might also say you've been a busy bee!

  15. Ok, can I just say how I snort giggled and laughed my way through this post. Your opening sentence had me rolling. Everything is just fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. And yes, I am most impressed it you did all this AND the ironing. I've barely showered and can't remember when I've eaten last. :)

  16. such a lovely collection of creativity right here in this post. infact if I'd compare it to a bunch of zebras and say it was dazzling (and, no, i did not know that but love it!) your subirdia work is my fave-love it!

  18. Oh what gorgeous creations!! I do love love love your work - you're so talented! (and, as always, I'm waiting for your residential workshops so that you may pass on some of your secrets ;-)Mind you you'd have to start with the very basics. lol.)

    Love that you've taught me that a group of zebras are called a dazzle - how fab! I shall be spreading this knowledge :-)

    Great that you're being so productive and sounding so happy. I seriously need to emulate some of your productivity.

    Kat Xx
