carbon paper

I've finally had time to do a bit of drawing for some new prints this week - the carbon paper which seems new and improved - extra carbonny, is really showing up what I've been drawing...so I tried to take some pictures...and here they are:

Catching up

Another busy week - starting with Top Drawer/Home. I was there on the tuesday and met lots of lovely people, including Donna Wilson http://donnawilson.com - which left me a little bit star struck and with a new bag featuring a ship in a bottle...one day soon there will be a photo.

The day after I had the job of writing on the walls of a very chic house near Frome, I rushed round with my camera at the end of the day so the photos are a all very blurry - so here's just a couple of shots (to save on eye strain)!

(poor wonky pigeon light)!

happy new year sale

Oh dear, I'm not off to a good new year in the world of blog...my excuse is that it has been a busy start to january as it's Top Drawer at Earls Court next weekend and I've had lots of tweeking to do to the new teatowel designs Ive been working on for New House Textiles...

Royal Tea

jubilee olympic woof

It's been quite a regal few weeks as I've been looking at lots of images of the royals, past and present and watched The Queen on new years eve afternoon - (lots of posh head scarf action)...so I've a special guest with a few words to say...

more drawings from my Royal Tea tea towel...

and last but by no means least I'm having a small sale type thing in my etsy shop - just enter biscuit 1 at the check out and all uk shoppers will get free shipping until the end of jan - hurrah!!

glittery mittens

With Christmas approaching fast I thought it was time to get sparkly with my last lot of cards...(apologies to anyone from Spike Print Studio who has recently discovered odd bits of glitter on their work)...very exciting though messy, and needed a lot of fixative/hairspray (as I didn't have any fixative...)

I also printed gold birds on blue books...tweet.

I visited the Nothing But Navy shop in Stroud on saturday, meant to take my camera but forgot...its full of the loveliest navy goods known to man, until christmas eve, so if you're even slightly in the area make a detour onto 1 Middle Street...if not then some of the navy niceness is available here http://nothingbutnavyshop.com/bigprodshow.html...

note to Santa: I love those wooden rings...

etsy shop now open

This weekend was the christmas at The Makery - lots of people asked if they could buy my things online...and now they can...I've finally opened the doors to my etsy shop - hurrah...there's a few bags and calendars on there at the moment and I'll be filling the shelves a bit more next week now that I've tracked down the battery charger to my camera!

pop ups a popping

I did a shift in the Smithson Gallery pop up shop in Cabots Circus yesterday - it looks amazing, I took my camera along to take some pics, but it turns out the battery had run out...so I resorted to my phone, they're not the best images ever.....probably best to visit the shop (It's on the top floor of Cabots Circus next to the Sony Centre and a giant Starbucks) www.popupbristol.com

If Bristol is not an option then my snowglobe prints are all in this pop up shop in Stroud...I love the concept of everything being navy (except for my prints, though they are navy in places)...

next weekend it's the Makery Christmas Market http://www.themakeryonline.co.uk/blog/ so next week will be another printathon one!

teatime treats

it's been a tricky week as all my stuff has been packed up for flat decoration - days of not finding anything has driven me to many a chocolate digestive... so printed this today - yum!

(have I ever mentioned just how much I love Fabriano paper - I think it everytime I use it - ahhhhh fab fabriano)
