Rosie

Since moving I have a new addition to the family, I'd like to introduce you to Rosie.... isn't she a cutie! My other bunny Sweep (Buck) is very interested in her as he is now a teenager! (say no more) so I am having to keep them separate, however one day I hope to have babies :-)

My Tea Set

I just had to share this with you. When I was packing up my old house I came across my old tea set from when I was little, even though I have moved at least 5 times since I played with it, I am a bit of a soppy thing and like to keep treasures from the past.

The design shows my age! he he

I'm Back!

Hi Guys

Sorry it's been so long since I posted.... As you know I have been busy moving to our new home in Guildford, Surrey but also I have been going through a lot of health issues, which are ongoing so please forgive me if my posting isn't as regular as it should be for the next few weeks/months.

I can't believe I now have 90 followers! thank you all so much *GRIN*

I will try to get some photos up of my new studio in the next few weeks, however at the moment it is still full of unpacked boxes.

Please keep your comments coming, I love to hear from you what you think of the products I post and of my work.

Have a good day!

Busy Busy

Hi Everyone

I'm going to have to duck out of blogging for a couple of weeks, I have to go into hospital next week for some tests and then I am moving to Guildford, also work has become very busy (typical eh that it all comes at once!) so please excuse my absence for a while.

Have a great few weeks and see you soon with piccies of my new studio *GRIN*

Belle de Sucre

I have totally fallen in love with these shaped sugars from Belle de Sucre, they sell them in John Lewis and I intend to buy some once I have moved, even though I don't actually need them! They are pretty expensive for what they are, but aren't they to die for! Here are a few of my faves (the photos don't do them justice).

Monsters

Today I just wanted to share with you some stickers I designed recently. This collection was rejected, they wanted evil monsters and evil isn't really my style, this is about as evil as I get and they still weren't nasty enough. Hey ho! the joys of being an illustrator/designer eh.

Binne Bear

Today I wanted to show you these gorgeous woolen animals that look so life like in these photos. You can find them on Etsy here

K.Slademade

The other day I came across these most beautiful earrings, I first fell in love with the photo and then took a closer look to discover more lovelies on Kelseas website. Take a look for yourself here, you won't be disappointed! she also makes a selection of bags & other accessories.

Jaspers Picture

Yesterday I was kindly invited to my friends Claire & Tonys sons naming ceremony in Surrey. I didn't have a clue what to get him as a present so I ended up making him this little picture. It's always scary making something isn't it, but I got a text saying that she thought it was beautiful :-)

Gorgeous Lace

Hi Guys

I just came across this gorgeous Etsy shop selling lovely lovely lace. Check it out here

Vintage

I am working on a vintage project at the moment and during my research I came across these beautiful tiles from Welbeck. I love the way they look all together. I may have to invest in a few for my new studio if this new project proves a success :-)

Dabble with Zazzle

I have been playing with Zazzle, but am not sure I have done everything correctly. Before I put too many new products on there I'd appreciate your feedback. If you have your own Zazzle store or use Zazzle a lot then useful tips and comments would be great.

Thanks guys x

As most of you will know at this current time SURTEX is happening in New York. As much as I'd love to be there in person it's just not possible, so my agent Richard at Pure Illustration is representing me - Maybe one day :-)
