Mug Gate

AAArrrggghhh our mug supplier decided to stop manufacturing the mugs we have been using (unless we bought 8 billion from them) so we have had several weeks of what we refer to as "Mug Gate".  Finally after lots of emails, phonecalls, wasted sampling fees we have now sorted out "Mug Gate" and have just ordered our first bulk order as had completely ran out of mugs!!  The designs work even better as they are printed from top to bottom - they look really fresh.  Phew! They are due to hit the shops next week.  Copy cats beware we are going to kick your ass with our new products! wwwhahahahaha! #strokesbigwhitecat

STREEEESSSZZZZ

Talk about stress! Been uber muber shuber (trying to emphasise the point) busy lately.  Now got FIVE brands - the latest being Cumbria - Wot Fettle - going out to the shops right now in order to catch the start of the season in the Lake District.  Heres a look at one of the designs.  In addition to GETTING THE MANC (North Divide) STUFF INTO THE LOWRY GALLERY - woo hoo!! Very happy about that.  Phew its all go!
We are also very happy about the blog from JoJo too - she's an amazing mother and writer and blogger have a look. http://jojokirtley.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/anyone-else-geordie-manc.html

MAM MUG

My new MAM card and mug are now up for sale. I think they are lush and they have been branded with wotmalike.co.uk so that they can be sent to MAM's EVERYWHERE!!  We are selling them in Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester at the moment, but retail orders have gone to Ireland and Wales.  WE ALL LUV OUR MAM'S - I dooo especially my Mam is the best.

All you need is love

All you need is love.  Luv Yer Babe was done for our lovely Scouse customers and A LUV YET PET is a revised design for our Geordie Customers - we also dia a mug - A LUV YET PET - but they've all sold out!  Happy Valentines everyone - I'm just hoping for some pink fizz!

Perfect Paper Pug

Its my friends birthday this weekend and she has everything including a lovely Pug dog called Albert.  So I spent this weekend creating a paper mache dog for her - he is sooooo cute.  I'm pleased he's going to a good home as I dont think I'd be able to part with him otherwise.  I did a radio interview last week too, was talking about buying British.  Was great to be asked to participate as business, keeping things local and creating employment! (form an orderly queue for autographs please)!  Laters XX

Progressive Greetings Baby!!

We are very pleased to say that we have quite a big feature in this months Progressive Greetings Magazine in the design section.  Its great that we are up there with the big boys!! WOOHOO!!

2013 - Its gonna be a good one!!

2013 - my new years resolutions.  Stop swearing, be more glam, double turnover. 
The Manc Range North Divide has gone on sale now and already we've had a great reaction will be in a lot of big stores in the North West in the next couple of months. We have a REALLY EXCITING new range coming out in Spring - but unfortunately I can't tell you about it.  I would love to but we are finding people are copying not only our products but our web text, and even our blog.
IT'S SO ANNOYING!! Why can't people be original and develop their own concept??
We are watching who is doing it just waiting to get legal should they push it too far!
Anyhooow - they will always be behind us as we are cookin on gas at the mo!! Watch this space.
Oh and Print Scource in New York later this month - hopefully it will be a "kerching" month!
Happy 2013 to you all!!
