Hey yall, had a great time at the Crafty & Mingle markets over the last two weekends. Thanks so much to everyone who came in to say hello!!! Was great to see you all. Here's some pics of the stall...

Merry Christmas from Baubie Sunshine

It's nearly here, 9 more sleeps until Christmas day, wooo. I'm simply fanatical about Christmas and everything to do with it. Funnily enough a few years back I found out that my name, 'Natalie' means Christmas Child... I was soooo excited. That's me in a nutshell, so here's the Baubie Sunshine Christmas poster 2010. Hope you all like it, it features Baubie herself...

Oh So Snowy

We've been having an incredible amount of snow lately, makes for some very Christmassy photos indeed. I'm lucky enough to live with a fantastical view of horses galloping in the snowy wonderland across from my apartment! Ohhhh I could never get bored of it! Here's a few snaps from my balcony...



I'm on Twitter

Come and follow me on twitter for little things that you might miss out on here! Wooohooo xx

Aluskas Show!

Hi everybody, The Aluskas are playing their fabulous music at Radio City, Store Street, Dublin 1 this Saturday, 4th of December @ 9pm. Why not drop by if your in the area, it's gonna be rockin!

I designed up this little groovy poster for The Aluskas to go with their gig, hope you like it!

Crafty Market

Hello all,
I will be selling some of my art and trinkets at the Crafty Market on the 11th, 12th, 18th & 19th of December! The Crafty Market is located in the heart of the city centre at Shebeen Chic, Georges Street. Shebeen is a bar and restaurant at the end of Georges Street, near Dame Street. It's opposite The George Nightclub and a couple of doors down from The Georges Street Arcade. There will be coasters, memory boxes, originals art pieces, clocks, magnets, cards and much much more! Hope to see you all there.

Birds all over the place

I recently came across a buttload of fake birds on my shelf in my store-room. I've been collecting them for a while but didn't realise I had so many, I'm also not sure what I'm going to do with them! They look so colourful altogether, they could make a Baubie Sunshine original just as they are! Well even if I use them on my Christmas tree they'll look really cool, but you know you'll see them making a guest appearance in one of my pics in the future!

Puppets

I bought this parrot puppet recently and I really wanted to show him to you. He's from the Puppet Company and they have loads of amazing puppets, some of my faves being the monster range. I just love the soft colourful fluffy madness. They seem to be a bit of a lost art and I want to help bring them back...

Jools

Pumpkins

I carved my first ever pumpkin this year and was quite proud of the way he turned out, here he is unlit & lit. You'll probably see this pumkin head appearing in one of my pictures.

Halloweeeeeeeeeen

We had a great Halloween party this year, there were some very creative costumes and lots of spooky creatures. At about 10pm it got really foggy and and creepy outside, just perfect weather for Halloween night! Me and Dave decided to go as docter death and psycho nurse, was very fun indeed!


Lots of sweeties


I found this guy in a garden centre and thought he was brilliant!

Aluskas Gig

Hey everyone, just to let you all know that The Aluskas will be playing at the Zodiac sessions next wednesday evening in Dublin city centre. All details are here! Come along, it will be sooooo good!!!! See yas there!

Grab A Pago

Trying to get some yummy things together for the shop, will keep yas posted. For now I just wanted to show you a new pic, lots of different coloured bottles and cans, 70's wallpaper and a weird picture frame, preliminarily titled 'Grab A Pago'. Hope you like it!

Happy Birthday John

Slightly belated birthday tribute to John Lennon who would have turned 70 on the 9th of October. Happy birthday John, wherever you are. I can't believe how good Yoko looks, she must be nearly 80! To name but a few of my faves of his solo songs: #9 Dream, Love, Imagine and a little hidden treasure 'I'm In Love'.
Just seen Nowhere Boy the other day, was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, thought it was gonna be like Heartbeat, but thankfully it wasn't... deffo worth watching, quite sad in parts!!

Wist Design

My dad also has his own website and I would love people to go and have a look at it. He creates some very interesting photo-art and web design. It's in German but you can translate it with Google Translate. This one's my fave...

German Buildings

I came across some very interesting buildings during my stay in Germany. I love the straw roofs and little windows, these are all over the place. They'll more than likely be popping up in some of my art.

Hobbitville

Germany

Hello all, was away yet again in Germany as my wonderful German Oma (grandmother) was 90! She still looks fabulous and tries to cycle her bike! She had a little function room hired and many of her friends and relatives came. There was lots of delicious cakes and good German food...

Yumsome

France

I got back from France yesterday and it was fabulous! We swam every day in the crystal clear ocean, ate great food and drank lots and lots of wine. Love holidays!! Here's a few pics...


This was the view from one of the little villages we went to!


Mitch, Dave & Lynn after some wave surfing...


Oh yum, fish and steaks on the BBQ, a la Mitch... thanks for all your splenderous cooking Mitchie!!

This was a kewl pic that I snapped of the amusement park... really long shutter speed and barely any light at all. Psychedelic baby!

This was our last night and the best sunset of the holiday. We brought some beers down to the beach and lit candles!!

Oh before I go...

Just before I go, LOVE this. Yoshitomo Nara is one of my favourite artists. I just love his sinister cuteness. Okay, now I'm really going! xx

Bye Bye!

Wooo, I'm off on hols with Dave to the south of France on Monday, yay!! I will be gone for 2 weeks so I won't be blogging as I will be lying on a beach or leaping into the ocean or drinking wine and chilling out! I can't wait. I'm sure I will be back fully inspired and ready for getting the shop up and running with goodies! Laters xx

ohhh, isn't it just fab!!!

Miles & Miles

Howdy, this is a new pic that I finished recently. It features windmills, soft furry mountains, deep blue skies, oh and a motorised flying robot man. Hope you guys like it ;)
