Because we all love cup cakes.

Last night Luke had an "I need to make cupcakes NOW" moment. Of course I encouraged him to do them as I fancied eating them. Here is some images of the exciting cup cake scenario last night.

TEA the drink that changed the world

On my last trip to America I found this lovely book called "TEA the drink that changed the world". It is absolutely worth a good look. it is actually the most lovely and well organized tea book I have ever come across. It teaches you everything from how to brew a perfect cup of tea, best times of day for sipping various teas and also the professionals terms for describing tea such as aroma, body, neat and stylish. We learn something new every day, and today I learned that rooibos needs to brew for five minutes to obtain the greatest number of antioxidants. So I will now go and have a lovely cup of freshly brewed rooibos in one of my teatime cups. Like Nan said "with a cup of tea in your hand, anything is possible".
TEA.

New Product - Teatime cup

This cup shape was born 2002 but it was not until May this year at ICFF in New York City that the cup (note without a saucer) was presented as a new product for an audience. The Teatime cup with vintage rose patterns inside is available to basket but on order. The cup comes in plain white, blush pink, soft blue, moss green and mellow yellow. It is also available with a lush dripping of white gold on the rim. For all those who like it traditional, a saucer will appear in the future but not for some time.

Inspiration

Knitting makes me happy, it is the soft touch and old fashioness about it that makes it so special. When I first saw Donnas knitted pieces in the craft council in london years ago I fell in love with it, I love knit and I love cupcakes so you can't go wrong really.

Lucky Magazine - New York

Today was the day when New York based Lucky Magazine came to do a designer profile photo shoot with me in my uk based studio. An impressive 5 member crew came and dolled me up, or tried. It was a rather interesting experience though a little scary as I move so well in front of the camera. The lovely and really sweet senior editor Emily Hsieh from Lucky who I also meet in New York when Luke and I went in May, came over from America for the shoot. I will let you know when the issue will be out, so you can have a little smile on my behalf when you inspect the images.
