A little treat for me :)

As some of you know blogger wasn't working yesterday so I couldn't post anything unfortunately. Anyway now I can post, I thought I'd tell you I sold some designs this week which was a little treat for me. I've posted them below for you to have a sneak peek. I can't say who they're for sadly but it's a UK publisher so have a little look out for them in shops! I can't wait to see my babies out there. Have a good day. It's time for a coffee break :)

A couple of prints

Here's a few prints I've been working on for my agent recently.  I like to try and be as versatile as possible to appeal to as many different customers as I can.  I just love prints! I'm so happy I get to do this everyday. I hope you like them.

My Little Office sneak peek

Morning! I thought I'd share with you the development of my teeny tiny office.  It hasn't moved on much from last time I shared photos with you as It's been so mad with the wedding. As my office is in a corner of the spare room and I don't have much storage space in my house, most of the wedding stuff was kept in spare room, not really allowing much room to move! However thats all gone now so I've started developing it.  We need to keep the spare room as a bedroom really as we do get alot of visitors-especially our parents! Anyway I like it. It's very cosy and gives me the room I need to be creative (the kitchen table really wasn't comfortable).  I feel like finally things are really coming together in my freelance journey :)

Hello!

Say hello to my little friend :)

Books and candles-to keep me calm

A tiny selection of inspiration-Typically full of wedding cards haha!

Fathers day is almost here!!

Happy Friday everyone! As you all know it's Fathers days this Sunday so I hope you've all remembered to get your Dad a card! If not you've still got time so hurry up and post it today :) I haven't got any plans for fathers day. My bank account is still in recovery from our honeymoon and is most likely to be that way for some time otherwise I would've travelled up to Carlisle to see them (thats where I'm from Origonally). I'm hoping my parents will pop down to Leeds and visit me and Rob on Sunday and we can do something nice with them to celebrate.  Whatever you're doing have a great time with you Dads!

Butterflies

I've had the urge to put butterflies on everything lately, why I have no idea but it makes a change from birds and owls-hehe!  The following designs use the same butterfly.  I just wanted to show you my development process.  I started with the turquoise design then before I knew it I had 4 different backgrounds with butterflies on.  It's funny how your mind works.  Anyway hope you're all having a lovely day and you like todays designs.  Please feel free to leave comments.........I like comments good or bad :)

And back to designing!

Happy Friday everyone!  I've been busy getting back into my designing this week and have so many ideas going through my head it's hard to choose which idea to start and then when you start one you develop that image into something else and go off on a tangent.......breath!  I've got lots to show you so keep popping back. Have a great weekend- The below design is for my friend Gemma as she be celebrating her birthday this weekend.

A few more pics.........The Amalfi coast

Although not very design related I thought I'd share with you a few more snaps from my honeymoon, this time from The Amalfi coast.  This place is picture postcard beautiful. We felt so relaxed and happy here. We stayed in a small fishing village called Priano and our hotel was out of this world.  We took a boat trip to Capri (which was ok, very pricey) and on the way we visited various grottos. We also visited the local town Prostiano (which was very quaint. With cobbled streets, little boutiques).  I would highly recommend the Amalfi coast. It's simply beautiful!

On our boat trip to Capri!
