oskah. sells

So today was oskah.'s first 'market'. I was unable to track down enough cable drums to display the products as I'd originally planned, so with the assist of my trusty suitcase (€10 bargain from Amsterdam earlier this year) and a couple of good solid pallets, I came up with a new display which was equally as awesome.

The bandana bibs and oskimos (yes I finally came up with a name for those little people things) went down a treat and people loved them. I had some great responses and lots and lots of interest and made a nice tidy bit of money. So in all, a successful days work!

oskah. to go!


This week I have been slaving away trying to get some products together for a sales opportunity this Saturday in Stafford, England.
I will be selling bandana dribble bibs and my little people...still working on a name for them!

I have been playing around with the idea of pop-up-shop and I'm thinking of displaying my products on some customised cable drums! I have to be able to source these in the UK on Friday, as I'm travelling as a foot passenger and wont be able to take mine from home.
I'm all packed and ready to roll!

Love Long Life

Love Long life has always been mine and Matthew's moto (a play on our family name). For our anniversary this year, I wanted to create a gift that encaptured this phrase and what we're about. Taking inspiration from Pedlars, I produced (with the help of my good friend Aaron) this poster.


I think its definately our best anniversary gift to date!

Stitched Up

Recently I created these embroided portraits of myself and my husband Matthew. I rummaged through some fairly recent profile shots of us both, traced over them onto accetates (simplifying the image), then traced the image onto fabric and stitched in the lines using red embroidery thread!


Currently I am using the image as our profile picture but my plan is to frame our portraits individually in embroidery hoops and hang them in our home. I also plan to do one of our daughter Pixie...watch this space!
