Christmas cats

Merry Christmas everyone, this will be my last post before Christmas and before the fun begins I thought I'd share these cute kitties with you!

Christmas birds

Still on Christmas...at least for the next week or so! These little birdies will be flying off to New York in January with Roy and Jane Evans Designs for Printsource...How time flies!!

New Christmas

I'm busy with Christmas ideas at the moment, easy to do them now with all the lovely designs in the shops.
Printsource is looming and the ideas are flowing, well hopefully!

Christmas from the Ulster Weavers and Trinity

Christmas is nearly here and this collection I created the artwork for is in the shops and on the Ulster Weavers website now. I'm so pleased with the finished product, as always they've done a great job. Many thanks.x

It's been a while....

Sorry its been so long since my last post. Life has been hectic!Lots of new designs and projects. But to say sorry here are some images of new art I'm working on. Had a bird request come in from a client and have moved it onto Christmas birdie art now..still a popular icon then!I love doing Christmas art at Christmas and not summer. Should be working on summer art now though!

Goodwood

This post is to celebrate Goodwood Revival which I'm going to next weekend. Can't wait, lots of vintage cars and fashion. It's so British, the ladies get dolled up in lovely vintage clothes from the 40's, 50's or 60's. I'm doing 50's. My husband loves the cars and I love the clothes, so everyones happy!

Bliss range for Ulster Weavers

I was so excited to see the finished product from the Bliss range which I created the artwork for. It is forsale now online http://www.ulsterweavers.com/ and in the shops. Looks great, thanks so much to the Ulster Weavers for doing such a great job! Copyright the Ulster Weavers.

sweet things

Cup cakes, buns, afternoon tea, you can't beat a little treat!

Purrfect...

I love doing cat and dog designs and for some reason cats seem to be outselling dogs at the moment. So roll on little kitty designs.

A little more Christmas...

Well I've enjoyed doing a new collection of holly and berries, even in all this sunshine! My studio is in the attic and it is boiling up here!

Thanks Print Pattern

Many thanks to Bowie Style again for a mention on the Blog. Roy and Jane have gone off to Printsource now where we will be represented. Lets hope for a good show!! Good luck to everyone doing it.

It's raining cats and dogs..

Well, it's rained all day here. Thunderstorms yesterday and more rain today. I've just got back from my run and I'm soaked. Think these little kitties will want to stay indoors, just like my dachshund who hates wet weather!

Aaah Christmas....

This is part of a new collection I have just finished for Print Source, where Roy and Jane Evans will represent me.

harvest....

......is just around the corner! Well, hopefully we can enjoy lots more of the lovely sunshine before this but I'm still busy working on new Harvest and Christmas collections in all this sunshine. Strange thing about design we do Christmas in summer and Summer in Winter!

Garden Party

It's summer and I'm on a run of gardening designs now! Enjoy the sunshine and get out in the garden - I'm going to knock off now and get busy with some plants!

Mr & Mrs.....

Ok, so it's wedding season. We were at a lovely wedding last weekend and I'm always looking at the dress. Must have inspired me onto this design.

cards

I've been busy working on a card selection, valentines, mothers day, easter etc.. all which have come and gone but I'm still looking for inspiration! At least we haven't had gathers day yet!

Help!

Can anyone help me.... I'm having problems lining up the gadets on my Blog layout. They keep moving downwards and I'm really frustrated with it now!! I'd be really grateful for any advice.

Words...

I've created a little range of designs based on script. I love the idea of playing with letters and shapes. The list could go on and on with ideas. Must stop soon and move onto another area.

A BIG Thank you

A BIG THANK YOU to Print Pattern and Bowie Style for featuring us today on the BLOG. Thank you!

Surtex

If you are visiting Surtex this weekend, please drop by Booth 113. Our work is being shown by Roy and Jane Evans. Hope everyone has a great show.

with love

These little princess fairies will be making their way to Surtex very soon with our great agent Roy & Jane Evans Designs. It's a bit of a mad rush, printing, trimming and getting new work done- but worth it!

Royal Wedding Fever

Having spent the day watching the Royal Wedding, it has made me feel very British so I thought I'd post a very British design!!

Christmas again

This is part of a collection I'm working on for Sutex next month. Thinking of a new Christmas character now to finish the collection. It was going to be a penguin but I was told buyers aren't into them so much at the moment so maybe a dove!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone... Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the lovely weather too. We're heading off up to North Yorkshire soon, for a walk and a pub tea.. Can't wait!!!

It's raining cats and dogs!

Well not really, it's a beautiful sunny day here and I'll be enjoying the sunshine when I take my own little pooch Poppy out for a walk later on today. First things first, another design to go with these little pooches...a little kitty design to make a pair.

Christmas doves

It's lovely sunny weather and here I am doing Christmas again! I am always looking for new ideas for this subject and colours and never tire of doing it! This will go to Surtex next month with a few more to join it!

more cakes please...

I can't stop doing cake designs. I love going for afternoon tea. We have a famous tea room called Betty's in York, close to where I live and last Saturday I spent the afternoon indulging...What heaven ...I call it research!

Spring floral

Spring is in the air, the lovely weather is bringing on lots of lovely floral designs. I keep swapping between Christmas and Spring at the moment. Think it will be another Spring design tomorrow though! I'm feeling sunny!!

Art Group

We were really pleased to have had these re launched with the Art Group again this year. I'm busy working on new Christmas at the moment...should be doing Spring flowers with all the sunny weather we've had recently though!!

Blast off....

This is a new collection I have worked on and it's blast off time for the Surtex countdown! Lots of work to do and it's only just round the corner!

Little snowmen

It's a lovely sunny day here and I'm busy working on Christmas but at least they are hot colours! So funky Christmas here we come!!
