Alright starling?!
We've been meaning to go down to Brighton Pier at the right time to see the starlings fly for ages and finally got round to it today! Our photos weren't quite as exciting as the ones we took last year though. It was a welcome break from all the planning and designing going on at DODO HQ at the moment! Hopefully in the not too distant future we'll have not only brand new screenprint designs but also brand new and unexpected products! We're ridiculously excited, just wish we could do it all NOW NOW NOOOOW. Tomorrow is our first craft fair of the year! We'll be at Brunswick Pub in Hove with Brighton Craft Alliance from Midday. The Brunswick does yummyscrummy food too so well worth making a lunch visit if you're in the area! Oh..and there's a bit of a LAZY giveaway going on over on our twitter at the mo check it out! :o)

Bumper Blog Post of 2012!
Hello! FINALLY have got round to piecing together a BUMPER blog post rounding up 2012! It's been a total whirlwind year for us full of exciting changes, new friends and LOADS of new hello DODO products...CHECK IT OUT!
Ali got COMPLETELY addicted to Instagram...
Ali's niece Matilda was born in February :o)
We did our first fairs in Brighton...
Our sign making skills have improved vastly since then!
We visited Pick Me Up in London, the best show of the year!
Lots of squeegee pulling...
We went to Munich in March and drunk GIANT beers and ate GIANT pretzels!
Lots of new screenprint designs added to our online shop!
We got to watch these lil' guys hatch and grow up :o)
We had a few days in an amazing massive cottage near Bath that the company Ali worked for owned. There was also a freak heatwave which was awesome!
Ali met Timmy Mallet!
Lots of time spent pootling around on Brighton beach...
We launched tote bags in to the hello DODO shop!
We went on holiday to Cesky Krumlov, a tiny place in the Czech Republic which we visited when we were travelling. The castle is guarded by bears!
Oh yeah...AND WE GOT ENGAGED!!!!!! :o) :o) :o)
We launched our range of little hand cut relief prints!
We were featured in Craftseller Magazine in an article all about how great Etsy is.
Ali got her first tattoo, Bob the Blue Tit! :o)
Our good friend Nell went off to Australia which made us very very sad...but photos of her on adventures with her DODO tote made us smile! :o)
We took part in Renegade Craft Fair in the Truman Brewery, East London. It was our first truly successful fair. We launched our 'I Love a Nice Lion on a Sunday' screenprint which went down a storm! We also had chance to meet so many other creatives who we knew from twitter and who's work we absolutely loved, including Mellybee who was our stall buddy!
At Renegade we also properly met Karli and Jacques of Designosaur, fellow Brightonians and makers of ROARsome jewellery!
We celebrated hello DODO's 1st Birthday!
We took part in our first exhibition with Maker's Boutique in the Fishing Quarter Gallery on the seafront :o)
In the run up to Christmas we did LOADS of fairs! Like the amazing Fairy Tale Fair! (above)
We also did Spitalfields Market a few times...
We were commissioned by FST to do the design work for The British Travel Awards...it was the most amazing surreal evening ever!!
More Spitalfields...

Craftaganza was absolutely incredible!! We were totally overwhelmed by all the lovely customers we had! :o)
Matilda's first Christmas...
And a new addition to the hello DODo family! Meet Neil the Fox, lovingly made by Little Things I Make. 2012 has been INCREDIBLE and here's hoping that 2013 is even more amazing for us! We've got plans for brand spanking new top secret products, awesome project ideas with our new crafty friends and a crazy DIY wedding to plan!!! Thanks for all your support in 2012!
