Have a lovely weekend everyone...I'm off to Cadiz in Spain to see my lovely old

friend, Louise get married! I can't wait!

lets scoot...

Here's a print that I created for a boys babywear tee....available now from George.

After creating so many girls designs for baby and childrenswear,

it's very nice to get the chance to buy something I've worked on

for my little nephew Danny to wear!

a royal weekend....

...another bank holiday! We've been spoilt with a run of short working weeks here in the UK!

Although I had to work a little this weekend it was still a very good one, firstly thanks to the royal wedding (1)! It was all very superb and so impressive that such a huge wedding looked almost effortless it went so smoothly!

I bought myself a lovely Will and Kate mug by Lisa Stickley (2) and put the bunting out (3) around my home ready for viewing the wedding with friends!

Over the rest of the weekend I managed to squeeze in a shopping trip, treated myself to a new face from Bobbi Brown and this lovely blouse (4), my first Topshop purchase in a long while!

On Sunday I sat in the sun and worked away on getting a tanned back and completing some wedding invites for my best friend and also my sister in law! (5 and 6)

Hope you all had a lovely bank holiday!

Happy Easter!!

It's good to have an excuse to look at cute floppy eared rabbits!

I hope you have all got a lovely long Easter weekend planned!

Ours is family filled, can't wait to see the little nephews as its been way too long.

Then a lazy day is on the cards for Monday!

have a super weekend everyone!

(I haven't created any new easter artwork for a while...

but see here and here for Easter design from years gone by!)

another super wedding...

This last weekend was spent celebrating my lovely friend Nikki getting married!

It was a super and fun day with beautiful weather, setting and a very beautiful bride!

Nikki had done a perfect job of making everything look great....amazing attention to detail!

I loved my placecard (complete with song lyric on the back!) and pretty jam pot!

I love weddings! And it's a good job too as we're off to 6 more this year!

My clever Mum!

My mum finished knitting this wonderful blanket just in time for last weekend as it's

a wedding present for my brother and his wife!

I love it! and am a little envious!

I'm very impressed with my clever Mum....she even designed some of

the patterns for many of the squares herself! I wouldn't know where to start!

I'm hoping these knitting skills rub off on me at some point!

Well done Mum!xx

My new book!

I've had such a wonderful weekend!

One of those that you never ever want to end!

My brother got married on Saturday and

I'm so very proud of both my lovely brother and

my beautiful new sister in law!

It was such a happy day!

Full of tears (happy ones!) and big smiles!

And I wish as always that time would just slow down a little bit

and that the good times would never ever end!

thinking of Japan...

...its now a week ago that Japan was hit by the fierce Earthquake/Tsunami

and the problems there seem to be ongoing.

There's a great post on the Print and Pattern blog about artists and designers

raising money for the people struck by this disaster.
