The Catkin Boutique Blog
Hello, my name is Nicky. For as long as I can remember I've loved designing and making things.

This blog is my online sketch book for my shop , showing how my ideas and products develop from inspirations, through the making process, to the final item.

If you have any questions or comments please send me a message. :D

A lovely collection of pastels and pastel prints found on Folksy. Inspired by the blooming spring pastels seen all over fashion. As you can see in many forms; jewellery, cloths, pictures and cards. Embrace the softer side of life!

A lovely collection of vintage black and white vases. I really like the patterns on these and the lovely curved shapes. I recently did an evening ceramics course, and now have great respect for anyone who can throw, pinch or mold these shapes from clay!

A sneak peak at my latest print! I started it this time last year, but it’s made up into a screen now. I soon as I can photo the results in day light, I’ll post them :D
here’s a sneak peek at my next print! It’s printed in gold, and the frame has been embroidered so it looks like a fancy frame. I think it would look better on a deep green colour, so when I’m next shopping I’ll hopefully buy some!
Bow cushion in some of the many colours I can make (more than 4)
This is a photo from a few winters ago. I love seeing little animal tracks in the snow, you can see what they got up to, this bird was having a good look around our garden (the tracks went through all the gardens around our house too.)
I made a print inspired by these bird tracks, and printed onto a bag a cushion!
Here you can buy!: Snow Print Bag
Question!: I printed these cards yesterday, just black ink onto white card. Not sure weather to put them in my shop or not. I’d make black envelops for them and sell as a set of 8.
Would you buy these?
