Fuel those creative ideas

If like myself - and you've probably read my tweets - a good cup of coffee is needed to fuel those creative ideas, otherwise you could be doodling rubbish for hours...

Or have you ever been to a craft market, work event, festival or children's fun day and all you need is a great cup of coffee to get you to the end, but all you can get is something that just doesn't cut it, resembling dish water rather than coffee!! Well I have tasted the future and it's here to save you all from those horrible, traumatic, cups of dish water, perk up coffee tastes amazing, freshly made REAL coffee, that helps puts the Creativity back into your day.

They truly are a great small business that caters for most events, as there website explains, and I truly mean every word when I say it make a refreshing change to get a real cup of coffee from a mobile coffee unit. Hiring them for any event will truly make a massive difference for yourself and everyone that tries their products.

What has this got to do with Children's products I hear you ask, and a valid question it is... Its simple, creativity and inspiration comes in many forms. These forms may from time to time need to be stimulated by the help of caffeine, I like great tasting coffee and perk up coffee give me both. SIMPLE.

So Next time you're involved in an event, or you are organising one, Do yourself a favour and get in touch with perk up coffee, they can also be found on twitter @PerkUpCoffee1. The owners are lovely genuine people who really enjoy what they do, which adds to the taste :)


Who makes me tick artistically

When you're on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and other social network sites, you meet and converse with an abundance of talent. Everyone from making clothing and creating paintings, to sharing parental tips or ideas. No matter what the time or day you can view, talk or share in these talents.

I get very excited when I find an individual or company that makes, sells or gives something that inspires me. It gets my creative juices flowing. There are a few people at the moment that do just that.




The first is a lady who goes by the name of accidentalvix found here http://www.accidentalvix.co.uk/ or on twitter as @accidentalvix with a fantastic collection of handmade products, from  bibs and booties , to cards and artwork.

Her cards are uniquely made for many happy occasions for everyone's needs.  Her bibs and booties are lovingly made using many colour schemes, that are beautiful and functional, a must have in every little ones wardrobe. Her illustrations are a great addition to everyone's home, they are for adults and children alike. Ideal for wedding gifts, or children's nurseries, they are a must have.

I have purchased a great pair of booties and also her fantastic Molly Superstar illustration. They are both designed and made to a very high standard, that show her talent and love for creating beautiful handmade items.
