I am not a morning person, this morning in particular was chaotic, my eldest got up late - he never gets up late, then I couldn't find shoes, a lunchbox or my keys, subsequently the morning descended…

I posted a few months ago about a couple of cats that live near me and seem to use my front drive as their meeting place. They are an intriguing pair who both look annoyed, a bit disheveled and in nee…

Slight absence from me recently, we have just got back from 2 weeks away in the sun, we had a great time - but straight back to reality and about 6 loads of washing to do - post holiday blues are now…

A few new things from over the weekend - still really enjoy doing paper based work, as much as I also like working digitally I still like to produce work directly with pens and paper. I have always re…

I have just started a new online class which I am really looking forward to, essentially I can use Illustrator but realise there is so much of the vast programme I just don't know. I am self taught an…

I have done some further ideas combining my drawings with fabric and stitch. I think these could work framed or possibly photographed then printed, not sure where they will end up but I think I will j…

I am managing to keep up with my book, I have no real theme for what I draw, sometimes a page in a magazine inspires me or images on pinterest. I started a board on vintage tins, I love the old typogr…

It's been ages since I actually did any stitch based work, time just seems to go so quickly and I still would love to create a small collection of 'things' to sell (not sure what those things will be…

I spotted some of my designs today on boys Pyjamas in Sainsburys for their TU collection. So nice to see where your work ends up and equally good because I have 2 boys and my youngest will love these!
