...some sexy topshop prints.

Super socks!

I entered the latest Sock it to me comp with these designs, would be sooo sweet to have a pair to wear on me feet!
My best friend is on her way to babysit and tomorrow night am off out with me fiance for the first time since having Olive, got a hair appointment to help make me feel human again and my heart set on a few cocktails, bring it on, have good weekends! :)

Hallo, another week flies by in a whirl of family life (including a small hangover from the delicious bottle of bubbly we finished off Valentines night!), alongside which I have been working on the promotional side of my work aswell as developing some more designs for specific products on my quest for a big break.
It was nice to visit a friend and find one of my cushions from Envelop on her sofa looking rather neat here it is along with some that I have donning my own sofa along with one of my bags too.
Next project...mugs! Happy weekends :)

Spring cleaning.

Wowza Friday again??!! Been a great week, went to the cinema with Olive, we watched Black Swan, the psychological thriller (v appropriate for a 1 month old!!) with tons of other brighton mums and their babies, hilarious, at some points I could just make out what was being said above the screaming!
I really enjoyed the film, it was different to anything I had ever seen and I kept thinking about it afterwards, always a good sign. I would recommend a look.
So a pretty quiet weekend ahead, my first organic veggie box is being delivered today so am hoping to be inspired when I see what goodies will arrive, lots of relaxing, bit of work, bit of cleaning and lots of Olive time, hurrah.
I have done a bit of computer spring cleaning this morning and found this design I did last year for a scarf for Lush, being a fan of multi colours I sometimes find it hard to work with a limited colour palette so really enjoyed the 5 colour challenge.
Happy Friday all have a great one :)

Runner up.

So close but not quite...came runner up again this month over at the Tigerprint contemporary floral competition. Again lovely things said about my entry.

A really lovely use of colour is demonstrated with this design by Miss Pixie. Also clever detail is introduced with texture and pattern and the applique centre.

Well done.

Competition entry.

Just before I went into labour I filled some time by entering the last Tigerprint competition, design a contemporary floral design fitting into one of three suggested colour palettes.
I chose to use some potato prints I had created in the summer and played with them in both photoshop and illustrator and so here are my entries!
Happy Friday all :)

Runner up.

I came runner up in the Tigerprint competition, they said nice things about my design.
"A beautiful design, demonstrating a great placement along with the brilliant stitched detail. Great design".

Happy Friday.

In contrast to the snow I did fancy a bit of the lastest Tigerprint comp so here are my 2 springy mothers day entries, have great weekends everyone x x x

A day of peace and work.

Last week I had a crazy day getting some pieces ready for a deadline, felt like it was never going to end so today I am going to spend a peaceful day with music getting a head start on some textiles work, characters, love it. Happy Sunday all x

Scarves.
