Since getting my Gocco and inks (the last of which arrived this morning) I've been thinking about printing up some patterns I've been working on. Except I'm too afraid to go near my Gocco for fear of it all going wrong. Any advice out there for a Gocco novice?

I like rhymes :)

Oh Prada, why do you tempt me so?

Please excuse me while I delude myself into thinking I can afford this

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with....tweet

This little chap has ventured into my house twice now, here he poses like any model robin should (but really I know he's after my red shoes)

A little bit of fashion for you...

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all the support for my Etsy site. For everyone that's ordered a little bird, they're on their way to you as I type! Ive just added an original illustration and will be adding more throughout the week.

Thanks again, tweet tweet!

Gocco gang

Oh yes, this beauty will be all mine very soon! I decided to treat myself to a PG10 plus some extras (lovely metallic inks...mmm) so that I can organise myself and start printing things like greetings cards and mini art prints. After browsing and dreaming of things that could be at sites like these I finally decided to take the plunge and join the Gocco gang.

Laura Ashley has a bit of a twee, old fashioned reputation here in the UK (especially in regards to their clothing) but I always think they're spot on with their homeware, so much so that they've been awarded the Design Retailer of the Year Award.

Take these lovelies for example...I especially love the lace effect lampshade.
