Happy Monster Home

Now then......Mr Monster and I have recently moved in together and have a very happy home. As a moving in gift my wonderful man bought me an easel along with some canvases, paints and brushes. I was thrilled but having not really picked up a brush in a while I was a little nervous of what I might produce.

The bedroom conveniently had two empty hooks so the Mister and I decide to set ourselves a challenge. We would both produce a painting based around the theme 'home is where the heart is'. We interpreted the theme in very different ways but are both pleased with the results which now hang proudly on our wall.

Baby Fever

Following on from the babygro project my mum asked me to make a monster for a friend of hers who is expecting, check out the results

Never Fear, The Mistress is Back

Hello there fabric fans. After moving house last week Mr Monster and I are now all moved in and the internet is up and running so I can finally show you all the exciting things I have been up to recently.

Firstly, the results of project Babygro are in and I am thrilled with them. Fi.....if you are reading this I am sooooooo sorry that I haven't sent them yet. proper scatter brain at the moment. Here are the little monsters for the little monsters!

Once I'm all settled and totally moved I am going to set this up as a little business so spread the word!

Blogging WILL resume shortly!

Hello lovely internet peeps. I must apologise for my long blogging absence. Rest assured that monster activity has not ceased and I have lots of pictures to show you. Problem is....some of the keys on my laptop have stopped working (I am typing this on my work computer) so writing anything is a long and painful 'cut and paste' process.

I have been working on some exciting projects and have more in the pipeline so please do stay tuned. I will try and get some pictures up over the next few days.

'Project Babygro' - A monster workshop in progress

I am having SO much fun working on Project Babygro. Remember the babygro's my cousin has asked me to turn into monsters for his kids?

I must admit I felt the weight of responsibility on my shoulders taking a very sharp pair of scissors to such special garments but once I overcame that little psychological hurdle I have been going great guns. One is almost complete and the other is fully formed in my head (although I must admit I have almost filled a sketch book with preliminary drawings to make sure they are absolutely right).

If these go well and Mummy and Daddy monster like them then I will maybe think about offering this kind of thing as a service to the public. Exciting yes?.....

Fur and Feathers - A new Fashion House is Born

Check out what Mr Monster and I got up to yesterday!

We bought a £20 charity shop jacket and then spent six happy hours together adding brocade, contrast fabric and safety pin details and changing the buttons. We were really happy with the results and got LOADS of compliments on it last night when he wore it out.

Hmmmm..............is Mr Monster starting to remind you of someone?!

Belinda, The Fairy Goth-Mother

Look who just fluttered up to my bedroom window! Mr Monster grabbed his camera whilst she told me her story. Her name is Belinda, she is as mischievous as she is magical. One wave of her magic wand and chaos is sure to follow (speaking of her wand, it is entirely hollow and usually full of sherbet). She prides herself in coming to the aid of downtrodden maidens looking for their prince by way of her websitewww.charmingoralarming.com. However.....her matchmaking skills leave much to be desired and she is currently third in the list of the most common reasons for divorce, behind never having seen Blade Runner and buying tickets for Jedward in concert.
