No Work All Play!
« Previous EntriesLights…Camera…Sock Action!
Friday, January 22nd, 2010We all like a break from our computers, especially when it involves leap-frogging and piggy backs.
This image was one of many taken on a recent test shoot we did to try out a few ideas for our forthcoming collection shoot (using imperfect samples). And try as she might, for a while Rebecca just couldn’t [...]

The King of Pops Socks!
Thursday, July 23rd, 2009The price of these custom rhinestone encrusted socks, as worn by Michael Jackson himself on the 1981 Triumph Tour and on auction with lots of his other bits the last I heard, must have really shot up in the last month.
It’s clear the King of Pop himself knew the value of snazzy socks, that’s for [...]
Smiling at work is now vogue!
Friday, March 13th, 2009It’s fun that something as simple as someone smiling at work could lead to a flurry of news articles, but that’s exactly what happened when Stella McCartney’s catwalk show in Paris Fashion week included models that smiled. I know….smiled?
But, then, who can deny the value of a smile? In fact, maybe smilers should be eligible [...]

SFHP heads back to The Sock Drawer
Friday, August 8th, 2008There’s been many benefits of SFHP relocating to an idyllic Swedish Island for a few weeks, and one has the been the farmhouse in which we’ve enjoyed many a long discussion over green tea and umpteen cakes. But with the farmhouse, came the farm next door, and with the farm next door came the frolicking [...]

I guess it’s what you do on when there’s 43 of you on a tour bus…
What’s the difference between a courgette and a sock?
Thursday, July 24th, 2008Whoa! I’ve just picked the biggest courgette ever (in my life at least) from the Farther-in-Law’s garden here in Sweden. Look at the flippin’ size of it!
This locally grown fairly traded (and free!) beauty is also organic, which means no pesticides or chemicals were used to help it grow to this ‘bigger than a bodybuilders [...]
Lights! Camera! Leisure Centre!
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008Starting a company is a lot of fun, very testing at times, but mainly a lot of fun!
One of the joys of starting out is being creative on a tight budget with people you know and like, and others that you find out that you like, and still producing fantastic results . Here is a [...]
