canvas BUS SCROLLS

Thank you all for your lovely Anniversary wishes and comments. I was showing G last night and we were very touched!

Poor bubby Will is really not well at the moment... we all had a very sleepless night as he was coughing and snuffling. We pulled out all the stops... vapouriser, elevating the cot mattress, baby Panadol, Vics baby balm and lots of cuddles. So I'm going to make it a quick blog post so I can try and get a nap in while he sleeps :)

I just wanted to let you know about something new I've been doing!!!

You probably remember my lovely customer Jenene from Brisbane? The one which I did the Italian prints for? Well she and I had been working on a canvas bus scroll for her home and she just got it delivered the other day and it turned out so well, see pic below!


So I've decided to add canvas bus scrolls/destination scrolls etc to my repertoire and I've set up a little website here with information and a contact form etc.

You see, all the canvas bus scrolls on the market are VERY expensive which is why Jenene thought to approach me to make one up for her, so I thought I might as well let people know that this is something I can do!

I'm not planning to put a lot of time or money into advertising or marketing but I thought I would just put it out there in case anyone is interested. Here is the little red London bus logo I designed and there will be a link on the right hand side of my blog which links to the website.


I'd love to know your thoughts or feedback as I have literally just put this all together very quickly.

I hope you have a lovely Tuesday (aren't the weeks flying by?) and I'm off to get some sleep.

  5. Hi Janette, I think this is a fantastic idea - in fact, I was only thinking the other day that one day I would ask you if you could do custom bus scrolls as I'd like to have one with destinations that hubby and I have travelled to around Australia so it's meaningful to us. Another blogging friend had someone she knew custom do one for her and it looked great. Your website is wonderful. Poor little Will - he must really feel out of sorts poor love. Last time Grace got a cold, we found the vaporiser provided some relief. Hope you get a rest today yourself x
