when presents get personal ;-)

Its not often I talk about other products, but I do have some favourites, I am very fortunate in my line of work to meet and be inspired some really creative business's who make beautiful things. One such business is Kidlinks, which I think is a absolute genius concept.

with a 4 year old and a baby my house is FULL to the brim with what I consider to be works of art, but I never know what to do with them, I could wall paper my entire house with my sons train pictures, but I have a few that are truly special, his hand prints, his first painting etc..that I want to share with everyone else, so what Kidlinks do is they take your favourite picture, painting, hand print etc... and they shrink the image down to make teeny cufflinks! so if you have a Grandad who is hard to buy for or a Dad, favourite uncle or godfather who you want to give something truly unique to then this is for you!

Me&My behind the scenes

 

 

Hello 2014!!

so its been a busy start to the new year, behind the scenes we have been developing our new range, after such success with the toy range we have decided to launch a clothing range incorporating some of our most popular characters!

so here is a sneak peek at two of our designs, the pinafore style dresses are easy to wear, designed for PLAY, they are durable corduroy with a soft cotton slip. there will be 5 designs, all are hand appliqued, all are fully lined. the idea is that they should last a childhood, they can start as a knee length dress and eventually they can be worn as a tunic top....

Me&My are soooooo excited about this range, they will be available on our ETSY shop early Feb, and in most of our stockists after that.

If you would like to stock our dresses, please message for details :-)

a look back at 2013- a year of awesome things!

 

 

what a year! so the first day of the new year I woke up with an inkling that something was different, a few hours later a little blue line told me I was having a baby! and so 40weeks went by and then 10 more really long days!, and finally my little boy turned up, he is so different to his brother, in looks, temperament and personality, he has made our family complete and I cant remember him not being here. It was also a mega birthday year with most of my favourite people turning 30!, mine past by in a haze of sleep deprivation, baby gurgling and unbelievable joy as my best friend and partner proposed on the morning of my 30th.

Me&My has also had a huge year, working with some great stockists, meeting some inspirational designers and proving to me that hard graft sometimes takes a while to pay off!

Christmas has be awesome,I got some really cool presents, like my Mister Peebles 'David Meowie' print, I got another one called 'keeping it reel', I had a close encounter with a friendly goose and I made A LOT of homemade gifts! in the process I ate my body weight in truffles, shortbread and mince pies, and glugged my way through a small draft of sloe gin... I know not every year can be this great, but for now I am enjoying and appreciating what a lucky life I lead.

I hope your year was just as good as mine, heres to more of the same in 2014!

Christmas at Kew

Hi,
so Iv been very bad with this blog recently, turns out life has a habit of making it impossible to get everything done!.
So what's coming up over Xmas I hear you ask....
well I have been busy stitching up a storm in preparation for Christmas at Kew,
its the first year Kew Gardens have put on a winter wonderland type event and I'm so excited to be a part of it. Its a magical place, I remember jumping on the train down to Richmond with my Mum and two brothers to go and see the giant lily pads, its amazing what games you can come up with amongst the flowers.
So here's what might be featuring in the We make London pop up shop at Kew this Christmas....
hopefully all this hard work and late nights pay off!
