Frankfurt Fair 2012 - Christmas world and Paper world.

Hi All, Sorry I haven't posted much since my give-away, but I headed off to Frankfurt on a work trip for a week. But I'm back now and Im happy to report on my findings. Below is a very small sample of what was around this year.

In a nutshell it's... Retro and Vintage styles and icons, mushrooms and owls are still as big as ever. Lots of crafty bits 'n' pieces, raw white ceramics and an abundance of paper star lanterns. There is soooo much more and I wish I could share it all with you, but that would take me all night and I am still battling my jet-lag. So... nighty night. xo

Also a big hello and welcome to the bloggers that have joined Little Jackrabbits while I was away. :)

Spoonflower - Cut & Sew patterns

I have been toying with the idea of getting some designs printed on fabric but I haven't planned what i was going to do yet. Until I was flicking through the Cut & Sew Patterns on Spoonflower.

Here are some examples of what you could do...

Softies, stockings, buntings, finger-puppets, kids clothing or my personal favourite... a Baby Cloth Book!!

I might have to design a baby book of my very own.

(I'll add that to my list of many things to do!)

Hi all. I hope everyone is having a splendid holiday season! I just wanted to pop in and post a few of my favourite artists that I have found on Society 6....

Thank you to all of these wonderful artists for their amazing work.

Christmas Presents!

I have created these little pieces of artwork for Travis's side of the family.

i did leave the Christmas shopping to the last second, so i thought instead of braving the hectic shopping centers I would whip up some artwork just for them.

Each piece has been printed and finished with sewn detail and cute lil buttons.

I'm actually a little nervous to give them to them all. i hope they like them as much as I do. I'm really happy with how they have turned out.

Keeping Watch

'Tis the season to get drinking... Fa la la la la, la la, la la!

Some very beautiful and hard working girls deserved a lil something to help celebrate the end of another great year. These mini bottles of Jacobs Creek Sparkling Rose look sooo cute with their little button tags.

Merry Christmas girls. xox

That's the Spirit!

The Christmas spirit is upon us again... Yay!

And I've been doing a bit of a hunt around for Christmas inspiration for my home, so I thought I would post my findings for all to see.

If I don't post again before Christmas, I wish all of you a very cheerful Christmas and a happy and safe New Year.

Alice's Tattoos

You've got to be a hardcore Alice Fan to get her tattooed on you forever.

I'm not quite sure I'm up to it... maybe just a white rabbit!

Pin-Up Perfection!

Pin-up girls or Pin-up Models, made their debut as early as the 1890's, although I'm sure back then it was seen as a very 'Trampish' career choice.

One of the most popular early pin-up girls was Betty Grable, whose poster was ubiquitous in the lockers of G.I.s during World War II.

Betty Grable's world-wide famous 1943 pin-up photo,
that showed off those "million dollar legs."

Today it's used in media all the time from Illustrations to Photos.

Here are some of my favourites...
