Today I can reveal that my baby bump is a...

Yesterday, like excited children sneaking to the family Christmas tree Al and I went to the hospital for our 2nd baby scan. We've been dying to know the sex of Beansprout ever since we found out that Beansprout had come into our lives. Well, we found out the best new ever!  Beansprout is a girl!  And up to now, all is working well and looking beautiful. We are both soooooo very happy. I haven't stopped grinning like a happy monkey since.  On telling my Mum (who squealed very loudly down the phone) the news I could practically hear her casting on her knitting needles.  My fingers and thumbs did some serious texting action on my phone and in return we got some sweet loving back.  And now my fingers and thumbs are playing tag with my little girl, who this week seems to enjoy a spot of tap dancing.    :)

Love, friends and family, family, friends and love; there's nothing like it and there's nothing better....

 

Me and my bumpage (with Belle the sock monkey - who's there for scale and cos she's nosey) earilier today.  We are 20 weeks and feeling good.

Hello darling girl.  I love you more with each passing hour. X

 

Preview of David Butler's 1st fabric collection & look inside his cool studio

YOU READ ABOUT IT HERE 1ST!  THIS IS A FABRIC EXCLUSIVE!!!!  

Its time for the big reveal: Mr Butler (yes that's right, Amy Butler's husband) is finally doing fabric, and boy, the fabric is simply divine!  It will be hitting the stores later this winter/fall.

 

As some of you might already now I was lucky enough to spend a blissful weekend in their home last May.  It was during that time that I got to see paper prints of David's first fabric collection.  So you see I've known about this (and wanted to get my mitts on some) for months! You are going to love it!

For those of you who haven't heard of David before, the chances are that you're already quite familiar with some of his work.  David is responsible for Amy's luscious lifestyle product photography and he also designs the beautiful graphics that adorn Amy's site, books and other products.  In fact Amy & David have been a close-knit creative team for years.  Not only do they collaborate brilliantly togther, they are obviously big-time in love with each other and are very protective cat parents! 

So, before we get a sneaky peek of David's fabrics I asked him a few questions about his new collection:

Lisa: "In the past I've found it impossible to find stylish fabrics to make things for the men in my life.  I can see that people are going to LOVE using your fabric to make items for their men (Al has already put orders in for some bags, and he's very choosy!).  Who do you think your collection is likely to appeal to ?"

David: "I'm hoping these designs will appeal to anyone looking for somewhat sophisticated basics. Prints and colors that cross genders & can find a home either in urban clothing style or richly muted quilts. Hip Amish? Maybe? ha ha. I see them lining denim cuffs, as bandannas, pocket quilts, rucksacks, pillows, simple work shirts, modern quilts and throws. Ascots and ties even. Everything."

"Your first collection looks very accomplished, there isn't a collection like it out there. I think it's 'very you'.  How did you find the fabric design process? Was it quite different from your other design work?"

"It is different from my other design work because I have to think not only in repeat, but in collaboration of textures and forms. Fortunately I've been watching and learning from Amy for the last 10 years so that's a pretty heavy head start. As it seems new you gotta realize that I've really been in the industry for years working with Amy on the brand and looking over her shoulder.  I'm glad you think it's very "me" - that really does mean a lot. I feel that Amy's work really does represent her personality and I want mine to have that same fine art character. It needs to have a voice to stand apart."

"We know that Mrs Butler is a keen gardener who is very inspired by nature. Some of us know that besides your graphic design and photography work you are also singer in a rock band and a (crazy) mountain biker.  When designing your fabric where are you likely draw your inspiration from?"

"You know I spend a great deal of time out in nature as well. In the woods. As a mountain biker and snowboarder I do find a great deal of inspiration in the textures and patterns of outdoor life. That's where Curious Nature comes about. I often feel like a modern man in a prehistorical realm when I'm out in the woods, and that's a bit of the story behind these designs. I think the rock and roll aspect of it comes through only inasmuch as the prints and colors reflect personal expression, like the music. Combinations of notes that make a song. That sounds pretty pompous, but I just made it up. I swear it! I do think these designs will make killer rock scarves to hang from my mic stand. Ha ha."

Thanks for your answers David, now lets have a look at the good stuff:

 

Here is a promo spread of David's first fabric collection: 'Curious Nature'  Ohh boy when fabric looks this tasty in print form one can only image how yummy it's going to be in real-life!

 

David showed me his mood board that was inspiration for his collection. Gorgeous vases and beautiful earthy colours, apparently it's as simple as that!

David laid out his fabric sheets on the table for me to photograph.  These paper prints are the 'working prototypes' of what will eventually become the stuff we all crave:  FABRIC!!! 

I love his geometric patterns and I just love the colours. To me the whole look is 'classy, bold and expensive', don't you agree?

Hello sweet Pip!  The Butler kitties regularly pad in and out of Amy & David's studios (and I bet they always stop what they are doing and play with the kitties!)  Amy & David have separate studios in the basement of their home.  I love how individual both their studios are.

Al is a big fan of the blue and the charcol grey colour ways.  He's already put orders in for a messenger bag and a laptop cosy (join the queue darling!)

 

...I'm a big fan of the charcoal grey myself!  You can just about see yellow sticky notes on the sheets, those notes are my requests for sample yardage.  Mwah ha ha!  If you don't ask...

Stunning bone colourway.

Inspiration can come from anywhere.

Rich opulent colours for the home dec weight collection. I need the basket weave and trees prints in my life and on my sewing machine!

These 5 prints are David's faves....

 

...and these 2 prints are what David thinks will make a great bag.  Well David, get that sample yardage sent over to the UK and we can talk about getting you a bag sorted!   ;)

 

Now lets have a nosy around David's studio:

Do you have a thing about stationary too?  I love checking out other people's desks and pen pots. The cymbal cleaning polish is probably there cos David is also a rock drummer!

It's only natural that David would have a soft spot for Black Owls.  I love the plushie!

I wish my studio was: a) this large; b)  this bright; c)  this tidy!

David has this very cool gurney that he uses as a work surface, I'm not going to wonder about it's history.  I'll just focus on how cool it looks.

There are loads more pics of David's fabric and his studio in my Facbook. If you want to see them all please join my Faceslap page.

I hope you enjoyed the fabric drool.  What do you think of David's collection?  What would you use his fabrics for?

And then we are three. My wedding and baby pics

Well, our whirlwind romance (of nearly 15 years) has finally culminated in nuptials. I have to say, being married is lovely!  We both assumed that the piece paper wouldn't make much difference, after all we've been getting along quite nicely for years.  But actually it has made a difference,  it's not easy to put into a sentence, but if I had to, I'd say: 'things feel cosier, more in-sync, and more fun'.  The media portrays skinniness, sexiness, and 'non-commitment' as ideals to strive for.  Personally I think slippers and commitment are where it's at.

I've loved Al for a long time (at times I've wanted to jab forks into him too, but), he's my best friend, my favourite comedian and he's really great to hang out with on day to day basis. So when he asked me to marry him of course I said Yeah! ....fast forward 3 years (after Al proposed in 2008) we found out that we are having a little one.  In the grand scheme of things I know it's ordinary to meet someone and maybe have a kid/kids, but at the same time it's the glam-est thing ever!  It's going to be an adventure and I'm going to need your advice!  I know full-well I can wave goodbye to lazy long lie-ins.....

Our wedding was a very modest affair.  I've never dreamt of flowing/big white wedding dresses or colour schemes and if truth be told, we both felt that that style of wedding is too public for us. So with the whole family's blessing, we went for a super modest wedding; just us and 2 witnesses grabbed from the street. It was just perfect for us.  And next spring the family is going throw a big ol' knees up to celebrate - which will be great fun.

So here are pics from the wedding, our honeymoon in Cornwall, and finally of our Beansprout.

 
Here we are outside Brighton Town Hall just before the ceremony. I'm jacked  up high on caffeine and I have big butterflies in my tummy.  I'm wearing the most amazing item of clothing that I own: a sumptuous Favourbrook velvet coat.   Al gave it to me many Christmases ago and I've never been to a do posh enough to do it justice (the photos certainly don't do it justice).  It was perfect to wear for my wedding and maybe if I have a girl, one day she will want to wear it too.

For anyone who's wondering: I was the first one to giggle (no surprise then!)  Luckily the celebrant was a very nice lady who didn't mind that Al and I didn't seem to be taking it all in our solemn stride :)

...giggling aside, it was no less romantic.

Our heroic witnesses.  Thank you ladies, we couldn't have done it without you!

Heee heeeeee!  We've done it now!

After getting married we had lunch at a fave local restaurant. For desert we shared a bannoffee pie. Look what they did!  Awww!

After lunch we drove to (windswept) Cornwall for a long lazy weekend (phew man, we needed it!).  We stayed in a lovely hotel and spent all weekend lolling about reading, walking and having spa treatments. Giggedy-giggedy!

As you can see my undercarriage has begun to expand as Beansprout begins to take up more room. But actually it's quite nice to be growing bigger like this and to eat accordingly (without the usual calorie paranoia).  Though I've heard that in the 3rd trimester you can feel kind of whale-like so I'll just enjoy this gentle expansion whilst I can...

 
At the Eden Project - sigh, he's so handsome....

In the Mediterranean dome there was a gorgeous brass band playing.  The acoustics in the dome were fantastic and the music simply made everyone very happy.  What a wonderful Sunday treat!

"Hello there Beansprout!"  Yesterday I had my first scan (at 13 weeks) and I'm pleased to report that thus far all is well.  During the scan I saw that Beansprout likes to dance, it was throwing some very energetic and groovy disco shapes - just like mum used to in her heyday :)   It was magical to see Beansprout for the first time.  Later in the day Al sent me lovely text telling me how he felt at the time.  So this has to the most grown-up thing we have ever done, it's scary, but it feels right.  We both feel very lucky to have this opportunity.

Oh, if Beansprout turns out to be a boy, he will still know how to sew and cook (at least). Mum's gonna see to that!

Guest post: Amy Butler's new fabrics & how to use them

Ding-ding!  Grab your seat on the bus for the last stop on Amy Butler's fabric blog tour (you can see all of the other blog stops here.)  In this post Amy talks about her yummy new line of fabric substrates and give us some cool ideas on how we can experiment with the new textures. I saw and fondled these fabrics at Spring quilt Market earlier this year.  Not only do the fabrics look gorgeous they feel so luxe to the touch.

So, over to you Amy!  (I've added a few baggy suggestions of my own in amongst Amy words).

.

Organic:

It's been a long time dream of mine to be able to provide an organic option for my fabric collections and " Organic Soul " has been well worth the wait! Having a sustainable, beautiful line for quilting and fashion sewing was my focus and the delicious hand and gorgeous quality will inspire your next projects for loved ones, little ones and of course yourself! The prints are derived and rescaled from my most popular Soul Blossoms designs and lovingly reproduced on a 100% organic cotton using low impact dyes. The soulful inspirations behind this line go hand in hand with the spirit of the material. You'll feel uplifted by the dreamy jewel tone prints and multi hued flowers and designs. It's my hope that you connect as deeply with this line as I do. Be inspired and let your Creative Soul shine!

• My Pretty Pinafore Purse

Rayon:

From the striking beauty of flowing saris in rich, vibrant color that captivated me on my travels in India, I've introduced 5 of my favorite Soul Blossoms prints uniquely scaled for fashion in the softest rayon.  The women of India are so confidently expressive in their glorious jewel-toned prints with multi-hued flowers and designs, it's wonderfully uplifting to see that passion.  My beautiful rayon has this inspired spirit and a very silky hand that is versatile enough to experiment with endless fashionable projects;

Perfect for making:

• dresses
• elegant tunics and kaftans
• graceful scarves,
• pantaloons,
• skirts and more!

Corduroy:

In my continuing quest for the most wonderful textures and fabrics, I've found a renewed love for corduroy! In this new Soul Blossoms collection I chose 4 dynamic prints rescaled (especially with sewing for baby and kids in mind) along with 2 solid colors for creating some very soft, and very comforting jewel-toned projects for home & fashion. I've picked the highest quality fine wale corduroy with an amazingly supple hand and a beautifully unique weight & body. I wanted it to offer you the most diversity across a wide breadth of sewing inspirations, and if you're like me, you'll have a blast dreaming up ideas for this timeless, super-soft fabric!

Perfect for making:

• Snuggly PJs
• Cute coats and jackets
• Plushie toys
• Soft & tactlile quilts
• Wraps and scarves
• Sofa and floor cushions
• A messenger style bag
• Amy's Liverpool Tunic

Voile:

I've always fantasized about working with Voile! It is so romantic and graceful. I imagine giant blowing sheers in richly painted blue/green doorways in Varanasi India during my travels. I chose 8 of my luscious Soul Blossoms prints scaled down for fresh fashion, as well as well as 4 mixing solids so you could dream up your dreamiest quilts, tunics, scarves, maxi dresses or sweet outfits for your favorite little ones! With such a soft feel and flow, my new voile is perfectly suited for the rich, jewel-toned prints. I can't wait to bring some of my India inspirations to life, And I can't wait to see yours!  Enjoy!

My Makeup Makover - Before & After

As some of you already know I popped into London last Thurs (BTW that's a turn of phrase: it's impossible to 'simply pop into London'. A full suit of American Footballer armour aids one's manoeuvrability in the city centre, but only marginally). It's nice being a tourist in the Smoke, but as I get older and more crochety I find myself getting 'city agitated' after a few hours.

Anyway, whilst in London I ran a few errands, had a yummy noodle lunch and got meself a bit of a makeover! 

 

It's grey, it's been raining and it's the height of summer. How can I cheer myself up? I know, I'll go an see Les Mis!  :)

It's grey, it's raining and it's the height of summer. How can I keep myself dry?  I know, I'll wear some bags covered with Union Jacks!  :)

 

Good ol' Wonkies!  It's a London China Town institution. I've been eating here since I was a little girl. It cheap, the service is umm, gruff, but if you're hungry and in hurry it can't be beat.  And the Duck ho fun soup noodles are ta-hasty!

 

Installed in the makeup hot seat (which as I predicted is hoisted up as far as it will go) inside Selfriges. This is the 'before' shot.  BTW I haven't doctored any of these pics - it's all mother nature or bubbly Mr Pan from here on in!

...and 'after'. (sans photoshop)   No serioulsy, what?!?  Where have my red patches gone!?   Hey Alan [the makeup artist, not my hubster], don't spose you've ever considered settling down in Brighton?  Actually it's a great place in which to to live...aw go on, PLEASE!

Here's Mr Alan Pan (the magic-ian). What he doesn't know is (that in this pic) my hand is fishing around in his pocket for his mobile phone (or other form of ID) so I can stalk him - for any special occasion which requires make up expertise (which is hardly ever, but anyway...)

This shot was his idea OK?  I'm guessing that in this shot he might be encouraging onlookers to buy the a bottle of the product in his left hand? Maybe?

 

What did I learn:

• As we ...er...mature it's more important to pay more attention to your skin care than to your makep up. Turns out my skin is pretty dry and could do with bit of scrub.
• Oriental Ladies should go for bolder brighter eye colours (over paler shimmery colours). That's fine by me!
• Less is more (not to mention more convenient!) Drag queens may wear the most amazing makeup, but they are less likely to have time constraints such as those imposed by having to do the school run or to have stuff to sew (I have no hard evidence for this, I'm lazily falling back on my perceived stereotype of glamorous drag queens).
• If you happen to be in town when Alan is in town I can highly recommend!

 

Powder, Lipstick and Warpaint

Woo excitement! I am going to get a makeover by a pro makeup artist; Alan Pan.  I read about Alan on Coquette's blog. I was particularly excited to read her (Natalie's) blog post because she is oriental (and very pretty she is with it too!).  I am (as you know) also oriental, but for all my life have been a total makeup numpty.  I just never got round to experimenting and the UK magazines hardly ever provide beauty advice for orientals. To me warpaint has never been that important, but in my later years (what with book signings and that) I'm finding that a  little bit of slap does make for more chirpy photos - am I right?

Amazing what a a bit of slap (and LOADS of Photoshop) can do to pep up a gal!

The makeover is going to happen in a buzzy London department store where I'm sure I'll be surrounded by gorgeous young sales assistants with fab figures, lashes, and pouts.  And I'll be sat (racked up as high as the chair will go) and I'll tell Mr Pan, "I don't know what I want because I am a makeup numpty!"  It's gonna be so fun! Heheeee!  I'll be sure to show you before and after pics - with pre- warnings of course :) 

Craft isn't always slippers and pyjamas (tho I'm very glad it can be a lot of the time). 

Are a "slick of lipbalm and out the door I go!" kinda gal?

Or are you more a "the full works or I don't leave the house" kind of gal?

 

Sewing Patterns and Craft Mags Giveaway!

Wooo! I'm feeling sooo good right now. I've just handed in a big chunk of writing to my editor. This means I can have a guilt free rest day - before I get back on with the rest of that book.  What shall I do?  Go bungy jumping, salsa dancing, take in theatre show, or have a slap up meal with Al?  Nah, I think I fancy: walking Beans on the sea front, sewing something for fun, watching a movie on telly and then nomming ribs and salad for tea - awww right!

I have to say; I love so much that you have still continued to say hi in emails and on the sosh media.  I really appreciate the link love that you're sharing too - even though I've not been blogging as much you're still out there keeping tabs and that's very touching. Thank you.
