And one more...



I was going to make one that says: Today is a good day. But it turned out to be not such a good day, with a very poorly boy home from school. This is what I always tell him... You are loved.

You can download the 'tile' here...

Letting go...



I have a thing for old tiles and beautiful quotes, and especially if the two of them get mixed togehter. A little tacky, I know... But hey, forgive me, I love a bit of tacky too. Today I started on a little collection of printable wisdom tiles that I am adding to my new Onneke Printables on Etsy and that I will also turn into a set of cards to go into my Not On The High Street. My first little saying is like a mantra that you have to repeat to yourself when you get stuck in the same thoughts. Let it go. I'm learning to let go of things, and just working on this today helped hugely. You can download it here, turn it into a card, a print, send it off to turn it into fridge magnets... Do what you like. You could even have it printed on a real tile!

And as I have been so busy with work lately, I am going to let go of that as well tonight. I have got some wine waiting for me and some dark orange and ginger chocolate, and rather than fold the mountain of washing that is piled up on my sofa, I am going to snuggle up in it... Come on... let it go!

The future is printable...



It's been a bit quiet on the blog, because I have been working on new design briefs, new projects, lots of shop orders and even a brand new shop! It's called Onneke Printables and you can find it on Etsy. Here is the twist: Everything in the shop is for downloading only. You buy the file and you print it at home, or at your local or online printers. Why? I hear you say. Because it is the future. Mark my words.



More and more people have a good printer at home and lots of print on demand services are popping up all over the internet. You upload the design and you have it printed on cards, canvas, bags, t'shirts, phone covers etc. And if you are not a designer yourself, you can pop over to Onneke Printables and buy a design there. They are cheap, and the bargain is all yours. You can buy a set of birthday cards and you can print them over and over and over. Or you can pop back to the shop and buy a new design.





So far I have added Birthday cards, Thinking of you cards, Good luck cards, Fathers day cards and Get well soon cards. There is a pretty Make Your Own Little Bunting Card...And there are illustrations that you can print out and pop in a frame... Pop over to have a look, give it a try and make sure to pop back soon as I will be adding all sorts of other designs over the next weeks...
