Memo Bench.

Today I thought I would let you know about my Dads blog Memo bench, recently mentioned in the Sunday Telegraph it really gets you thinking about benches and how they feature in our lives, it would be great if anyone would like to send in a photograph. To have a look please click here.

Weekend fun.

what a jolly weekend I have had, began by going to watch other half play squash on Friday, he really is rather good, followed by an evening of fun and dancing around Brighton with friends and a french relative visiting for the weekend and ended with other half and I chilling out watching James Vincent McMorrow, Irish...high voice...acousticness, check out his version of Steve Winwood's Higher love here.

Think I still prefer Steves version tho ;) here it is.

New pad, fresh start...

Hallo there!! well we have finally moved in to our new pad, it did drag on a bit so am now just so happy to settle and get on with all the exciting new things I have set to achieve this summer!!

Here are a couple of photos of my new local area, the square at the top is where I am hoping Olive will enjoy running around and exploring the grass, trees and insects and the best thing is there is a fence all the way around it!! 

The 2nd is a cute little glimpse of the sea as I walk to the studio. nice even on a grey day...

How lovely a mention on Print Pattern, always puts a spring in my step. to see the full Umami range swing by my website and check out my card catalogue :)

Seeds...

hallo everyone, I am back down in Brighton :) move house next week and CANT WAIT to get settled and back into things. Before our road trip I worked on these seed packet ideas, I was inspired by an advertisement on print pattern from the balcony gardener, although they have already found someone fab to work with I REALLY enjoyed working on them!
