Hello,

I hope you are all having a good week! I have had a very busy March so I apologise for the lack of posts! I am going to make more of an effort to Blog on a regular basis!

This month I have taken part in a lot of fairs some really great ones, I love doing fairs getting the chance to meet people who purchase your work and also to meet other makers. I had the chance to catch up with some regular makers, please check out their work they are extremely talented!

Fox bunting

I absolutely love Fox bunting's work. I love the patterns she uses, her brilliant illustrations and the cleverness of her ideas. I couldn't resist any longer, after seeing fox bunting at a fair two weeks in a row I had to buy myself a beautiful peter pan collar with a little fox on! I can't wait to wear this. They are now available in her Etsy shop! She also has a great blog, which currently has a brilliant give away,so pop over for a chance to win one of her amazing Deer heads!

Another lady I see at the great Reet Sweet Fairs is Jil made this... again I have purchased many items from Jil! I think we should just start swapping each others items!




Check out her Etsy store.


My new Rule Britannia range is finally finished and photographed. A lot of items are already available on my Not on the high street store so please pop by and have a look, but in the mean time here are a few images.

Hello!
I hope you all had a good weekend, I have been busy the past couple of weeks getting my illustrations together for one of my new collections 'Rule Britannia' seen as 2012 is this year to be proud to be British! I wanted to create a range that reflected some of the iconic images of Britannia, and some of my favorite things. The ideas were endless.... and I have had trouble deciding where stop! I have some great ideas for these illustrations and will be working in lots of new mediums and hopefully broadening Jodie Anna's range to homewares, Greeting cards and prints.

These are just a few of the illustrations I have been working on, I hope you like them! and will keep you posted on their progress.

Hello!

Well as you can tell by the title I'm getting hitched! me and my partner have been engaged for a few years now and decided it was about time we tied the knot. So seen as I love all things vintage and handmade! it only seems natural that the two will be very prominent on our wedding day. So I thought I would blog my ideas and Journey to my wedding day!

On Sunday we attended the Harrogate Vintage wedding fair, we went a couple of years ago but there was so much more stuff this time... I came out buzzing with ideas and wanting so many things.... not good! Paul (of Stott and Atkinson) my lovely husband to be took some great images of the event.

Hello!

It has been a while since I last blog but with a massive rush at Christmas and then been poorly I have got a little behind with everything! So I am slowly getting back to myself.

I have lots of new exciting projects coming up, One of the biggest changes to Jodie Anna is..... that all my items are going to be laser cut, it was a big decision as I was worried that having my items laser cut would take away the handmade side of my items but I have had my samples back and they look great! .... well I think they do. It makes my pieces look much sharper and pristine. I am also working on two new collections that I hope will be ready soon and fingers crossed by mid March Jodie Anna will be re-launched with new packaging and new laser cut items! all very exciting.

But if you can't wait to for a sneak peek of my new collections I will have some items with me at the following fairs, International women's day on the 4th of March at the Queens hotel Leeds.

I have lots of exciting bits going on but will leave these for my next post, just one more bit of exciting news me and my boyfriend.... well Fiance finally booked our wedding! yeah so lots of posts about my projects for this.

As they say.... it's the most wonderful time of the year! and I love the Christmas season so much!!! I will be adding some new items tonight to my shops perfect for Christmas gifts!

Hello!

So its October and although this past week it has felt like July! I have been working hard on some ideas for Christmas, and they will hopefully be available to buy on my not on the high street shop next week! along with free Christmas gift wrapping on all my items! to make it nice and easy for you all.

Instead of jewellery I am making Christmas decorations, Christmas bunting and possibly personalised Christmas decorations... (all this talk of Christmas is getting me in the mood for some good old Muppet's Christmas carol.... no no far too early for all that)

This idea all began when my sisters mother in law (to be) commissioned me to produce a robin brooch for her beautiful granddaughter. So i began working on some sketches and played around with patterns to see what affect I could create and then lots of other ideas started popping into my head... too many ideas and not enough time do them. So here's a sneak peek of my little Robin illustration and soon to follow my little Christmas pud.
