This is me on New years eve 2006, we were staying in a cottage in Cornwall owned by my super friend Sarah's boss. What her boss failed to tell us was the cottage was cold and damp and very small. There were 8 of us. Anthony and I slept on a air bed in the front room and there was a layer of damp on the airbed when we woke up each morning. Sennen Cove, thats the place- very beautiful. My hair is very wind swept and i have a red face from the biting wind! We all got very pissed a lot to make up for it.

Funny that the picture I had to post was in Cornwall as thats where Lee May lives who tagged me!

Very Exciting!

I havent had a chance to tell you all about this as its all came around while I was away. BUT I am very pleased to be a part of this brilliant pop up shop in Islington.
People...you really need to get round to Covet and do some shopping cos there are some fab designers/goodies there for you!
Go and take a look!

Back in the office...

Anthony and I have been in Japan. To say it was a cool trip was an understatement. The last time we went to Japan was 2005 so it was great to go back.

I actually met Anthony there. He had been in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan for work so he flew in from Hong Kong.

So in short the Custom Made office is in full working order again, orders are flowing as usual. I bought some pretty nice fabric for purses while I was away so look out for those very soon!

Oh and just to confirm everyone loves Su-Bo!

Whip it....

I watched Whip It last night....

I didnt see it when it was on at the cinema but I had read reviews and they were very mixed. I have to say I really liked it. Ellen Page (above) was brilliant, such a real likeable character, and Juliette Lewis was awesome as the crazy bitchy gal from the other better team, she was great. Another favourite was Kristen Wiig (top photo far left) I have never seen anything with her in before but she is super funny.

Its not an Oscar winning film, its just good fun. I recommend it. I would really like to go and watch roller derby in real life.

I think its out on DVD soon, plus its based on a book which I think I would like to read now...
