I'm so lucky to have my work selected to appear in the Surface Pattern Design Guide in the latest edition of Uppercase, out now. It's such a design dream, I'm honoured to be amongst so many other amazing designers in such a respected and elegant publication. Thanks Uppercase! 

Here's one of my designs featured.... go get it and be inspired!

Sorry, I've fallen off the blog train recently.... so much going on, my bowl is spilling over, something has to give! Working with some dream dream clients now and recently... lots of fantastic things in the pipeline... yay! Surtex is only 8 weeks away... I'm just about holding it together, arrgghhhh.....I'll be going with 3 sheets of A4 at this rate and hiding behind the other dotty wren girls.

 Also, my folks celebrated their golden anniversary last week. 50 years! They went back to the hotel where they'd had their honeymoon. Little lovebirds. Happy Anniversary Mum and Pops. I love, love, love you. x

Also, there's a lorra lorra ladybirds around at the moment... anyone else noticed that? My daughter said she'd got bitten by one... do ladybirds even bite, I don't know. 

Right, that's all for now.... will post again when I get a chance! Laters! :-) 

On Mondays I've started running a doodle club at our local school.... I was imagining a nice little handful of girls turning up and we'd all draw pretty flowers but no... 20 kids signed up, half of them are boys. Boys don't want to draw flowers every week. Total rethink! But, so far it's been alright... one boy drew glasses and a moustache on his own face but apart from that it's going well. The best bit was today when one girl came up to show me the doodle she'd finished at home... it's so cool! I borrowed it to put it on here (above).

And here's another one of character faces we did the week before. Any more ideas happily welcome though... those boys just aren't going to like flowers for the rest of term! 

I've been asked to be a part of Lovely Ink's free inspirational Art. There are 12 artists taking part, it's running for a year, and each month there'll be a new illustration for you to print out or save as your desktop wallpaper. Here's a little sum up of it.... 

Lovely Ink's mission is to uplift, to awaken a sense of wonder and to sprinkle inspiration around the world. Twelve amazing artists are coming together to deliver inspirational art in the form of a desktop wallpaper and 8x10" printable each month for a year starting on April 1, 2014.

So, keep following here each month. It's a little treat from us to you... because you're worth it! :-) 

Merry March everyone. Hello Spring. That is all I have to say!
