I just can't get enough of Russell Kane, and seemingly he can;t get enough of his Kitschen Sink POW! Pin.
We last saw Russell wearing his Pow! pin in December when he tweeted a picture of himself having a cuddle with his new Pug Captain Colin, then on his spot on the Graham Norton Christmas Special. But last night he presented the whole Geordie Shore Reunion show on MTV wearing his Pow! Pin on his snappy suit. Holla!
Yes! I've just been catching up on Baking Mad with Eric Lanlard which is a daytime TV show on Channel 4 (I've been watching it on 4OD) - spotting that the lovely Zoe Biscombe who runs the awesome Iron Cupcake contest in Leeds was a contestant. She's sporting none other than a Kitschen Sink Measure Of My Dreams bracelet!
♥ Zoe and fellow contestant working against the clock...
♥ Measuring ingredients...
♥ Filling the profiterole...
♥ And her winning masterpiece - a choux pastry "religious"....
To celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this year, I have designed three limited edition pieces available as brooches and necklaces, inspired by her ladiship's blingin' crown jewels. Perfect for kitsch queens, proud to be
British princesses and design-loving duchesses! Some gold sparkle, some
jewelly translucent royal blue lucite and regal red - who would want the
Queen's crown jewels?!
Good evening! I just got back from lasering fun at Duke Studios in Leeds.
Bzzzz (yes, a sneak peek!)
After an hour and half or so of practice, I think I understand how to work it! By the last half hour I was zipping about preparing files before the laser had even finished cutting its current job.

What a magnificent piece of kit! If I had one of my own I'd be cutting out new designs every five minutes, I'd be the market leader in amazing designs in no time!
Still have a load of designs to finish so I'll be back again soon - can't wait!
The latest issue of Brand Yorkshire magazine has been published and features an article written by me on using social media to build a brand personality.

The article coincides with Social Media Bootcamp, run by Abi Manifold (SewYou) and myself, releasing the next round of dates for our workshops for small businesses and the self-employed.
We have a couple of extra sessions this time around including 'Blogging: structured writing and inspiration' and 'Social Media Visuals: entice and engage'.
I spent yesterday selling at my favourite event Reet Sweet, but in the different location of Sheffield! I had such a great day - browse in pictures!

Sunday was spent making jewels to replenish stock bought on Saturday, tidying (found my favourite squirrel brooch by LLROK!) and I also purchased this amazing retro swimsuit I couldn't stop thinking about all week...
I had an urge to do-up some big frames. Off I went to the charity shops today - and I picked up a bargain!
Just a tenner! I know if I'd have gone to Saltaire to look in their vintage shops I'd have been expected to pay in excess of £30 for something like this!
I decided to go for bright, bold colours. The paint I have used is super glossy.
I also started on the big old frame I used as my shop sign last year
Can't wait til they're completely finished - these are for my stall but I want to do loads for my home too, they'd be perfect!
