I was about to post all summer long and then I had family visiting,and a lot of work I can't show you yet. When I had just a little leisure time, instead of posting...I went to the beach.

Non dairy Dairy will be back in a few days, or a few weeks, depends of the water temperature.

Je pensais poster tout l'ete et puis en fait, entre le boulot que je ne peux pas encore vous montrer, les gentilles visites et et et quand j'ai eu cinq minutes

j'ai file a la plage.

Quand j'en aurais marre du sable dans les chaussettes, promis, je reviens.

(que la personne a qui j'ai promis un oiseau ne s'inquiete pas, c'est en cours)

Thank you very much for all the nice comments on the last post! I'm a bit confused now and I have to compute, but I do have some unexpected ideas reading you and I cant't thank you enough! I need to compute all this now so please while I'm working , print, cut out, fold the flaps, and find some funny place to glue a few bunnies:

Merci beaucoup pour vos coms dans le precedents post! Je n'en reviens pas d'avoir recu autant de reponses aussi rapidement , merci merci...Donc en attendant que je digere tout ca et que je bidouille ceci ou cela en plus du boulot de dingue que j'ai, voici quelques lapins a imprimer, decouper, plier et a coller ou bon vous semblera. Hop.

La traduction ici!

The Non dairy Diary turned four today! Happy blogversary to me. And thanks to you all readers for being more and more to read me!

A few days ago I got this in the mail:

Yey! My first sample from spoonflower. It's really neat to see my designs for real.

I chose this pattern , I wanted to see if I could make part of a cushion or something.

I was very happy to see the result , except for a LOT of color shifting in the reds.They became orange. And the really pale colors I added for test disappeared. Maybe I'm too picky? Colors are part of my real-life job, and I'm maybe expecting too much.

Anyway, Spoonflower is extracool. Thanks to them I gave reality to a little dream of mine!

I'm not so sure they are quite the solution I need. It's neat to print my own patterns, but I'd like you to be able to buy some too, at a reasonable price.

I'm trying to have some of my existing patterns printed on fabric, and then maybe make some special ones to print...I'd like something really nice and professional, something I could be proud of.

So : before doing anything,I'd like to ask you a few questions. If you were interested in fabrics from me, what would you like to get?

Do you have a  favourite pattern (please click for some samples)?

Would you like to see a fabric made out of my characters or illustrations?

From all your answers in the comments I will define what I'll print, so please raise your voice, thanks!

I'm afraid I don't post much these days. I'm working on some illos I can't show for the moment, and when I have a little leisure time I sew and read.

This said here's a picture of my sewing desk ( lucky me I have 2 desks). We had a discussion with my son about my lamp (once again, Urban Outfitters), and in the end I had to agree that the hoot-hoot does look like a meow-meow. But I just can't let him affirm that the tweet-tweets are indeed kwack-kwacks , I think the form of the beak is a definitive no-no to this assertion. Don't you think?

Je ne poste pas beaucoup. Je travaille sur differents projets que je ne peux pas vous montrer pour le moment...Et quand j'ai cinq minutes je me pose pour lire ou coudre. Voici mon coin a coudre. Oui je sais j'ai beaucoup de chance, j'ai deux bureaux! Mon fils (16 mois) aime bien ma lampe (moi aussi). Nous eumes une discussion assez passionee a ce propos. Pour lui le houuuu-houuu a une tete de Maaaah Maaah. Ca je veux bien l'admettre. Avec des moustaches cette chouette ferait un chaton tout a fait potable. Mais je ne peux pas etre d'accord avec lui quand il m'affirme que les piou-pious sont des couac-couac en fait. La forme du bec est significative, ce sont des pious. Qu'en pensez-vous?
