Alice Palace is featured in the Top Drawer preview in January’s issue of Greetings Today…
Well it’s very strange being back at work after 11 days off! AND it’s a particular shock when it’s minus 6!!
Out of all the Christmas cards I recieved, these are my top ten favourites…
1. It’s snow my deer (Powell publishing, for the RNIB)
The Christmas decorations are up, we’re busy playing the Christmas tunes and singing along - and it’s our last day at work - so we’d like to say ‘Have a GREAT Christmas and here’s to a wonderful 2010!’
It’s so cold and frozen outside - - i took these on my way to work this morning....
On Friday afternoon Mark and I went to London on the train....and it was LOVELY seeing all the snow…
I had a meeting at The Groucho Club…
...and we had a complimentary room there too!
Our cousin Matt very kindly donated hats and scarves and body warmers all embroidered with Alice Palace to help keep us warm in our studio - Thanks!!!!
ONLY 6 working days now till we break up for Christmas!!! We have been so busy with apron orders ....and I have been extra busy working on new designs for 2010 - very exciting! Here’s a quick sneak preview....
On Friday morning Liz and I escaped (through all the fog and coldness!) to Peterstone Court Country House & Spa in the Brecon Beacons - and had an AMAZING time!!
We stayed in one of the converted stables, enjoyed a jacuzzi, sauna, massage, and manicure in the spa ...
...and had a delicious dinner (most of the meat and poultry on their menu comes from their own family farm just seven miles down the road) - I had a beef salad to start, followed by duck and then a very delicious choclate brownie with white chocolate icecream - nice and full!!
Amelia’s Anthology of Illustration looks like a good book - - -
It features illustrations that bring to life a variety of yet-to-be-implemented contraptions and technologies that could provide renewable energy in the future…
These cookies are v. easy to make and taste pretty good too!
Mostly at the moment in the studio, we’re listening to Mumford & Sons....
