Hello everybody! 

It has been such a long time since I make a blog post. 

My poor macbook broke just before Christmas, leaving me with lots of work to do and no way of doing it! 

I have now got a shiny new macbook pro and it's wonderful. 

I hope you all had a fun festive season. Mine flew by in a flash but it was very lovely all the same. 

Have you made a reading list for the new year? As you probably know I don't own a television, which means I have more time for reading and drawing. (Which are both better activities in my opinion.)

Here is my reading list so far, do let me know of any books you'd like to recommend! 

- Doctor Zhivago (I am halfway through this. Super)

- Rebecca

Huckleberry Finn

- Jane Eyre

- Madame Bovary

- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

- Anna Karenina 

- The Call of the Wild 

 I think all cutlery should have little smiling faces. Don't you? 

I have been having fun making lots of wedding invitations recently. 

However it's always nice to sit down and make some drawings and paintings which are unrelated to anything else you're doing. 

Some Exciting News.

Hello everyone. I'm sorry about my lack of blog posts recently. I have been a bit of a busy bee. 

I'm rather excited about my new 'not on the high street' online shop.......

The lovely people approached me a while ago and I'm so pleased it's finally finished. I found that taking decent photographs of my work was quite a tricky job, especially as a lot of my drawings are quite delicate. I think I have finally got the hang of it though. 

Do pop by and have a look! 

I am so pleased to be part of the Old School Exhibiton at SMUG. 

The images in my previous post will be available to buy as greetings cards. How nice! If you're in the area, do pop by. 

Lots of things.

I have been a terrible blogger of late. I just can't seem to find the time to fit everything into my life at the moment. I am however trying to be a little more organised from now on, so you can expect to see more things popping up on this blog in the coming weeks.

I have been busy designing a new stationery range for my 'not on the high street' shop, which will be appearing soon...... 

I am also really pleased to be a part of SMUG's pop up print shop this year. 

If you haven't already, check out their website. It's a wonderful shop! 

Here is a sneak peak of the work I have submitted. 

I can't quite believer it's nearing the end of September. It's my 26th birthday soon. I always thought I'd be a wee bit taller by this time, but oh well! 

I read a wonderful book today.

It is called 

The Kites Are Flying 

and it's written by 

Michael Morpurgo.

It has beautiful illustrations in it by

Laura Carlin.

They compliment the story so beautifully. 

I thoroughly recommend it. 

I feel like a busy snail.

Well. 

It certainly has been a while since I blogged. I seem to be so busy at the moment, yet I feel so behind on lots of things! It's odd. 

Here is a sneak peak of some new wedding designs for my shop on notonthehighstreet.com.

I have been trying to capture some good photographs of the new range. It's quite tricky! 

In other news, I have a new car, which actually feels safe to drive. I was rather attached to my old green citroen, but parts of it kept falling off, and it was making some strange noises. My new car has POWER steering, which is a novelty. 

I recently watched a film called Amores Perros. 

I bought the dvd ages ago and have only just found the time to watch it. It's brilliant; I thoroughly recommend it. 

Hello! 

I haven't blogged for a while. I have been so very busy, but that's no excuse I know. 

I was delighted to have been featured on a lovely wedding blog the other day. My wedding invitations are really picking up and I'm really excited about it. 

You can see the feature here:

The lovely people at www.notonthehighstreet.com invited me to sell with them, so I have been developing some new designs to go onto my new shop there..... I will be able to show you very soon.
