My last post before Christmas - another order for beanbags, but this time for two boys. They have chosen union jack pockets which were fiddly to make but look really good. Again, it's made from indigo blue denim and the stitching is a pale blue (the other one is red so that they can tell… Continue reading And one for the boys…

Beanbags for the girls…
Well, I've been so busy these last two weeks, almost too busy to write blog posts, but not quite... These are two beanbags I made for a mum at school who ordered them as Christmas presents for her girls. The fabric on the pockets is a gorgeous floral pattern, one in blue and one in… Continue reading Beanbags for the girls…
gilhoolie has set up shop!
I have finally set up my gilhoolie shop on folksy! HOORAY! You'll find a few gilhoolie things on there so far but I'm still working on adding some more including my bags, bunting and the rest of my lampshades. So please come back in a week or so and have another look (don't worry, I'm… Continue reading gilhoolie has set up shop!
Promises, promises…
I had lots of fun a couple of weeks ago taking photos of my friend's beautiful little girl sitting on a gilhoolie beanbag and pouffe (with some bunting in the background). Thank you so much Sandi, I may ask again if that's okay! I know the model looks gorgeous but I'm also hoping these photos… Continue reading Promises, promises…
Models required!
This week I'm putting the finishing touches to things and I thought I'd practice arranging all my creations ready for Thursday evening. I put this display together in half an hour before I rushed off on the school run, but you get the idea! As you can see, I got the bunting bug last week… Continue reading Models required!
‘a’ is for…
Alice, Amiee, Asha, Amelia.. I made a beanbag yesterday in indigo denim fabric with a personalised pocket. The idea is you can choose a fabric and your letter to have sewn onto the beanbag. The beanbag itself is a pyramid shape with a square base and a handle at the top (plus a zip in… Continue reading ‘a’ is for…
A quick update…
Just thought I should put a quick update on gilhoolie as I haven't blogged for ages, I'm still here! The last couple of weeks have been spent doing lots of screen-printing (some prints more successful than others, arghhh) as well as lots of behind the scenes preparation for getting started on selling things. I'm hoping… Continue reading A quick update…
Did you know John Lewis sell disco balls?!
Walls, ceiling and woodwork painted, fire surround painted, fireplace tiles painted, shelves put up, wallpapering done, mirror put back, new light put up... not a quick job this one but worth it in the end! I can't believe how much lighter the room feels now that it's a cool duck egg rather than a dark… Continue reading Did you know John Lewis sell disco balls?!
Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
I've just finished making a beanbag for a friend. It's still blue denim but with a colourful stripy pocket and bright pink stitching. I really need to borrow a studio so that I can take some decent photos of these when they're filled but you get the idea. Mind you, I think the pebbles go… Continue reading Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside!
Interior Design in Reverse!
Well, this was all done a bit backwards seeing as I finished decorating a month ago, but I still wanted to publish the sample board and floorplan I put together for our bedroom. Gilhoolie Designs is working out to be a great place for me to keep track of my 'work' and build up my… Continue reading Interior Design in Reverse!
