Rain

No wonder January is so depressing for a lot of people, all this rain and hardly any sunshine, I wanted to think about the rain more positively and came up with this pattern today - more to follow over the next few days

Perfect 10

I have recently been working on a leaflet for a local beauty therapist whom I've been working with since she launched her business last year.

Inspired by all these hearts

After researching hearts for hours and working on my mood board, I have come up with a range of concepts for Valentines cards, (or a base for a canvas print), here is one to show you.

Hearts for the man in your life

More hearts in these gorgeous playing card cufflinks from Aristocrafty on Etsy.

With Valentines day coming up, it is sometimes nice to buy your single friends a little something to let them know that you care. How about something like this perfect little charm:
