Sewing her head off by judithg

Sewing her head off

Couldn't resist this little scene in Cath Kidson - taken before a very nice assistant told me I wasn't allowed to take photos. I told her that it wasn't on when they have a photogenic shop and she said, 'I know - it's not fair!' So this will be me shortly with the new machine....
Three good things:
1. Nice shop assistants.
2. Very good exhibition of Han burial tomb treasures at the Fitzwilliam Museum (though they have a very strict no photo policy throughout the museum and it doesn't stop people nicking stuff).
3. Monty is 5 today :0)

Brilliant, such a good scene. It isn't fair - Ms Kidston obviously fed up of her designs being ripped off :/

Ooh have you been in here for some material? Perhaps you are going to cover chairs or make an apron or a new jacket for Monty...... it all sounds a lovely new venture, don't let it take over from the camera! A very happy doggy Birthday to Monty & I hope he has has something special for his tea! Is Rachel settling in OK !

What a stunning shot. You should offer your photo for them to use as a promotion. Happy Birthday Monty. Enjoy that new to you machine
September 22nd, 2012  
Looks like fun!!
September 22nd, 2012  
hmm given the prices maybe you should get one these free with every purchase? Happy Birthday to Monty - what did he get?? A golden hoop?

Judith always best to take the photos before you're told you shouldn't!

Happy Birthday Monty - who is about half as old as Jinks!

I thought from the thumbnail it must be you, working your socks off - till I noticed the lack of head. Good luck with the machine.

How mean of them! Great photo, I love Cath Kidston.....!
September 22nd, 2012  
Never heard of her, and happy birthday Monty.
September 22nd, 2012  
seems everytime I turn around there is another place not allowing photos, such a shame
September 23rd, 2012  
this shocked me a bit because I first focused on the feet (dont know why) and then had to do a real double take when there was no head - hadn't quite realised it was a model!!

do you remember the large sweet stall that used to be in the Lion Yard/Grand Arcade - I saw the man there telling off a girl for taking photos of it, I think it's odd!
September 23rd, 2012  
Fabulous setting
September 23rd, 2012  
Great shot Judith - very retro. Love the colours and exposure.
September 23rd, 2012  
Brilliant! Glad you managed to sneak this in before you were told off! And one would think this is a great way to advertise for free...
September 23rd, 2012  
Oh, I just love the colours in this shot! I miss the Fitzwilliam... I really wanted to take a picture of that Roman army knife but didn't dare :(. Happy birthday to Monty!!!

@bmnorthernlight @lauralatham @lbmcshutter @jgpittenger @jlhopgood You'd think it would be good for business - if you want to copy her designs you can go on the internet and see them all over. A woman at a craft fair went mad with Adam when he was younger and smaller because he took a photo of her stall - three older ladies who were about to make a purchase put their goods down and walked off in protest because she, 'was unnecessarily aggressive to a small boy' who clearly wasn't about to start making handbags or whatever they were though I do sympathise with people who make original things and then people copy them. I think Ms Kidson can cope though.

Happy belated birthday Monty.
September 23rd, 2012  
Oh I really like this shot, Judith. I too snuck some photos at Cath Kidson in London but nobody saw me doing it. And I'm sorry I missed the important occasion: Happy Belated Birthday @Monty!!! Mwuahhh!!
September 23rd, 2012  
@snowy @fueast @meisen325 @jannaellen Thanks from Monty the birthday wishes - I'm afraid his only treat was getting drops in his sore ear!
September 23rd, 2012  
@judithg Really? Poor Monty. Not that I know when Poppy's birthday is but everyday is like a birthday for dogs I suppose.
September 23rd, 2012  
Such a great shot -- LOL Love the title
September 23rd, 2012  
Really fun looking setting, to bad they didn't want this out, but am glad that you could share it with us. Also love the title!
September 24th, 2012  
Very cool shot although it's a shame about the head :o) xx
September 24th, 2012  
Marvelous! Love this! So glad you got your shot. :)
Happy birthday to the magnificent Monty!!
