family road trip.

so as of this afternoon I am gonna take a bit of a break from work and we are off on our first family road trip. First stop kettering, then all the way up to middlesborough and then back down to the midlands for a few days should be fun, providing the traffic is good, olive can handle being in the car for hours on end and I pack enough warm snuggly clothes for that bracing northern wind!!
see you all on the other side :)

3 minutes of happiness

 this video its just gorgeous and reminds me of summers past, and good times with friends

I am lucky to have seen mike from passenger perform a few times now and his voice is beautiful and if you watch this video I am pretty sure it wont be the last time :)

 2 of my Christmas designs spotted in Oxfam :)

life changer...

It was my birthday yesterday and when I opened the HUGE box I had been presented I cried a bit and then was speechless for quite a while to say the least!!

when I went freelance 3 years ago now I had to put things like this on the wish list and it has been part of the dream ever since, so at the risk of sounding really cheesy yesterday one of my dreams came true.  I have grown fond of my laptop although lugging it to and from the studio has been a pain and oh my a whole new world of brilliance is to be mine as I return Back to Mac :)))))))

same design new colours.

got some time at the studio today and keep getting drawn to these designs. I have simplified this design and played with the colours, mmm red tulips...

tulips in repeat.

hallo, in this chain of thought at the moment and have just been playing around with this repeat using my tulip.

am going to pop to the Hope and Harlequin wedding shop launch tonight, am hoping I will find inspiration for me dress...and maybe a small glass of vino? yes thats it computer off!!bye for now :)

today i bring you a tulip.

I have been in the studio all day today and this eve have been playing around with an addition to my previous flower, I wanted to do a tulip :)

and finally for the night.
