Sunny day.
busy times at the mo dont acually think I have ever been this tired and have more respect than ever for my fellow mums, this is pretty exhausting stuff!
Olive is nearly 6 months, I am spending lots of time blending crazy concoctions in the kitchen, working on lovely briefs, and have taken a new and exciting desk space which I will be moving to in Autumn!!
Oh yeah and the picture, love the fabric and thinking of making this simple style top for little people to sell on stalls...???

Lovely person-lovely work.
I had my first full day away from Olive on Monday, courtesy of my Mother-in-law and took the opportunity to go up to London and visit my textiles agent whilst also dropping into the Pulse show at Earls Court, there in the launchpad area was the gorgeous work of dearprudence.It caught my eye as I had been sent this beautifully illustrated card just after having Olive.
As it happens Laura Vickers of dearprudence is a smashing chick to boot!!
To see more of Lauras work go to www.dearprudence.info

A new dress.
Being a fashion addict in Brighton can be tough if you know you already by some peoples standards you have plenty of summer dresses bulging out of your wardrobe, however with boot camp nearly complete I felt justified in rewarding myself with a few items including this great dress by emilyandfin.I have recently rekindled a relationship with my sketchbook hence the doodle of my dress and I love the print, lots of tiny horsemen galloping around!!
