HandMade in York by Pedally Steve!



Recently I had a lovely visit to York for a brief catch up with my friend Annie Potter. My Macbook went in for repair in Newcastle and she kindly met me to save me the long journey back up North. Whilst looking around we came across this guy- Pedally Steve. He was definitely a character. The man produces hand made name signs. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my post of the one I got made if not you can see it below. 

I aren't sure if the videos capture how fast his machine was actually going but it was SO fast! I can't believe he hasn't lost a finger! When we went back to get my name done it was 3 o'clock, he had been working since 10am without a break! Every name he produced had the same style font he is a very talented man. I got a few names done for some special people as little gifts. 





I especially love mine and it has its own pride and place on my desk :)

Bridlington Old Town Festival!



Saturday was such a scorcher of a day! It was SO hot! On sunday it wasn't as nice but I still got chance to go down the the Bridlington Old Town Festival! 


This shop caught my eye, the owners produce had made only items out of wood! The prices are of such great value as well! I bought some letters for myself which I will show in a later post. 


How cute are these!


The weather didn't get to people with spirits on a high! There was great entertainment such as these morris dancers and earlier a tug of war! Can't wait for the next annual event of the town- Sewerby Gala!

I love my Light box!



Today I have spent the day mainly at my light box going over some not dark enough lines on my new Koda traces which are now in cut through format for my repeat lengths. Me and my boyfriend built this lightbox ourselves last summer in which it has been the best thing we ever did! Its been extremely helpful and was dead easy to make! All you need is wood, perspex, silver tape and some strip bulbs!

I am quite excited but nervous to do my lengths after easter as I am abit of a perfectionist and like everything to be perfect! So fingers crossed!
