Jen's Wee Softies

Moo Laptop Sticker Book now available

Remember last week, Milo was really excited because his photo had been picked to go in a new Laptop Sticker book compiled by Moo. Well I just had a look on the moo website and the book is now available to buy! Click on the link below to see all the fabulous stickers that appear in the book!

For some reason to technical for me, the link provided by Moo is not working properly for me so I have now removed it. Anyway, I have taken some screenshots and cropped the images to share a page from the sticker book and milo's sticker image. To have a look at all the chosen stickers or to purchase the completed sticker book, go here .

Erwin's Island Getaway

So after leaving Bangkok, Erwin and his friends headed south for the small Island of Koh Tao on the east of Thailand. It is a great place to go diving but being a Wee Softie, Erwin decided that he was happier just admiring the sea from afar and enjoying the island.

While his friends were out diving, Erwin was catching a few rays on the sun lounger,

and admiring the beautiful island from his beach hut by the pool. He decided to stay in the shade thought!

It does sound like he enjoyed his time on the island though. Here is what he wrote on the postcard:

"It's a bit hot for me so I've mostly been hanging out under the fan! And diving is not my thing - far too wet! But I do like the beaches and the sunsets. Also not sure about this swimming with sharks thing?! Lots of love Erwin"

Milo's News

A few weeks ago I found out about a competition Moo was running through Pixish to find images for a special laptop sticker book they were compiling. Moo wanted to create the perfect sticker book, filled with 90 stickers for putting on your laptop, phone, wii etc. They were looking for designs to be cool, funky, a special character, a bold pattern or a cute and colourful photo. Designers were asked to submit entries and Moo would pick 90 designs to create the book.
To see all the wonderful entries and see all the winners please visit here.

I decided to submit images of 4 'Wee Softies' and a Birdie and I am pleased to share that Moo announced the winners on their Blog and my name was there. I rushed over to the pixish competition page and discovered that it was Milo's picture that was my winning entry.

Now Milo has taken some time off from monkeying around and climbing trees as he is so excited he wants to tell everyone he will be in a special sticker book. (The other Wee Softies are now all very jealous).

I am now looking forward to seeing the finished book and congratulations to all the other winners.

Erwin's mishap in Bangkok

Sorry this is a bit later than planned, but here are some of Erwin's latest pictures from his Round the World trip.
After leaving Nepal, Erwin and his friends flew in to a very hot and humid Bangkok. Unfortunately after a full day sightseeing including the Royal Palace and a couple of temples including the one with the Emerald Buddha and the one with the reclining buddha, their camera got lost and all the lovely pictures they had just taken with it.

Don't worry though, we will still get updates on Erwin as they had a second camera with their luggage and were able to get a few snaps of Erwin around Bangkok the next day.

Can you spot Erwin in this Picture? He is visiting the temple 'Wat Arun'.(The Temple of Dawn.)

Here he is enjoying the view at 'Wat Arun'.

Here he is on the ferry seeing a different view of Bangkok from the river.

Next stop on the trip for Erwin and his friends was the Island of Koh Tao and I know he enjoyed his time there! I will share the pictures of that next time.

New Packaging and an Elephant

Well here are some of the things I have been working on lately: some birdies, new packaging for my brooches and an elephant brooch.

I have been thinking about changing the way I package my brooches for a while now and finally got round to designing something new. Just something simple with all my important internet addresses at the bottom: website, blog and shop.

The new batch of birdies are mostly green and purple tones this time. Not sure why this is other than I am particularly fond of the kingfisher blue colour. (Teal and other bluey/green tones are some of my favorite colours in general, although you can probably guess that from the colours of this Blog!). I am also finding that I am very keen on stripes at the moment.

I have also been working on some new brooch designs however most are just not working out the way I was hoping for.( Time for some more experimenting I think!) This little elephant is the only one that did work out, so here is Ellie for you to have a little peek at.
