We Make the BEST Gifts


In absolute tradition, I had to make Tommy a Christmas gift. Last year he got a calendar, and the year before he got a plush pizza, and this year, he got the BEST so far....

Last year, when we traveled Europe, to amuse ourselves on the lengthy train journeys, me and Tommy took great enjoyment in playing that kids game - you know the one where one person draws the head, the next draws the torso, legs, feet and so on. We actually made a zine of them, (check in out on http://thomaskeyillustration.com/ under Diaspora). This was my favourite:


I think it sums us up down to a T. aha.

Anyway, Tommy coloured it in:


Then, without his knowledge, I made it into a plush toy. Pretty awesome right?






It's for sure my most favourite Thomas Key Illustration inspired creation EVERRRR.

Anyway, if you think I'm cute, check out what I got in return:

Cute Applique Tees


A few weekends ago, I was flicking through the Mini Boden catalogue, admiring their gorgeous kiddy fashion. I almost spat my tea over the book when I saw the prices! Scandelous! I thought, "I can do that", so that's exactly what I did. With a little Boden inspiration, and the use of some plain, brightly coloured tees, an array of polka dot and ditsy prints, I made these very cute tops for my pretty niece:








...isn't she adorable :)

And I made this stripy number for my dinosaur-obsessed nephew (dinosaur designed by Thomas Key's Illustration skills):




Aren't they the cutest (and the t-shirts!)
