Hope you like them :)<br />

But I wanted to share some exciting stuff I have done over the past few weeks.<br />

</div><div>I have been lucky enough to travel with work to some major gift fairs held in Frankfurt, Germany. We visited Christmas World and Paper World, has anyone heard of them or been? Well, can I just say, Amazing!! You will find so much inspiration here, it's really unbelievable how massive these fairs are.

Following my work trip I spent a week in Zurich, Switzerland.<br />
Apart from the beautiful old town and cute country village of Appenzell, my favourite stop was definitlely Mt Zermatt. For those of you know arn't aware (I wasn't) this is where the one and only Matterhorn can be found. The views are really beautiful here and we had a great scenic train ride on the Glacier Express. If anyone is thinking of taking a trip to Switzerland I would defintly reccomend doing this.<br />

When researching they found that a lady, Bertha Brown used to live there hence they will be naming it "Bertha's Bed & Breakfast". The cottage was featured in the Herald Sun a few years back (black and white photo) and as you can see alot of work has been put in to restore it to it's original form (as close as) and I'm just happy that this once loved cottage will now be used and loved once again.<br />

I have been very slack and haven't spent any time doing my much loved hobby, Blogging.<br />
But today it ends!! Fresh for 2011, I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and happy new year!<br />
<br />
Over my christmas break I spent a week at the beach with my family.<br />
It was really great to all get together. Amazing weather, good company and a few too many glasses of wine was what the doctor ordered.<br />
<br />
Of course when I was away I had to check out the local stores for any goodies. I came across some very cute home-ware stores and made a small purchase.<br />
<br />
Along with a scarf for my mum and a pizza cutter (chosen by my boyfriend) I bought these two adorable owls. They have taken haven<br />
on my bathroom counter for the moment, I love them :)<br />

With the lead up to Christmas things have become hectic. The thought of Christmas shopping is eating away at me and I'm finding it really hard coming up with the perfect gifts for everyone.<br />
But enough about Christmas, recently I was contacted by a friend to take part in a charity art auction for the Lighthouse Foundation. This meant donating one of my pieces to be auctioned off.<br />
I am excited to be doing it, not only will I be helping a great charity but I have the chance to get my name out there as an emerging artist.<br />
<br />
The event is being held at ACCA in Melbourne,<br />
on Thursday 2nd December.<br />
If anyone wants the chance to bid on some great artworks then come down, food and beverages are provided so it should be a good night.<br />
<br />
You can find more details about the night here <a href="http://lighthouseartauction.com.au/">Lighthouse Foundation Charity Auction.</a><br />
<br />
The piece I have donated is Daschund, 330x330mm<br />

These roses were picked from the cottage garden that surrounds my family's newly done up miners cottage. My mum has always kept a beautiful and established garden and I hope to one day have the same passion, but until then she will be a great gardening encyclopedia for meVixenLilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02569381614608274391noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867766098628433573.post-74973893704327217222010-10-25T23:37:00.010+11:002010-10-25T23:41:36.737+11:00KaleidoscopeI have had this idea in the back of my mind for a while,<br />
so I thought I'd whip something up while I was thinking of it.<br />
I want to create a range of similar retro inspired patterns<br />
that give a kaleidoscope effect.<br />
This pattern is made up of only one shape,<br />
but when repeated and layered becomes really effective.<br />
I'm looking forward to playing around with this!!<br />

Over the years I have admired her work through <a href="http://michigirl.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">Michi Girl</span> </a>and her publications, 2 that I have are 'Like I give a Frock' and 'The Cocktail'. Both are full of her amazing illustrations. Her technique is unique to herself, often she uses sketchy pencil line work, water colour and collage of paper fabric and more.<br />

The characters stem from some doodles I did a while back (you may need to check my older posts to see) and I drew a few other characters as well, so check up for future posts of my little doodle characters! I call her Maree after my mum. In the 80's and 90's she got a few crazy poodle perms that reminded me of this :)<br />

I have finally got my branding up and running which includes my generic VixenLily tags, Heat pillow instruction tags and satin ribbon tags to sew into the side of products.<br />
Although I am really happy with the fabrics I am using at the moment,<br />
my next step is to design and have my own fabrics printed, I can't wait!<br />
Now that everything is coming together I will try to set up an Etsy shop, soon....<br />

First was these beautiful cushions that I have been eyeing off for a while. They are from <a href="http://www.ishka.com.au/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Ishka</b></span></a> and made in India. I just made it in on the last day of their sale. They are soft and velvety and come in a variety of colours.<br />

Mmmm, Makes me hungry looking at it :)<br />
