My mission's simple, create POSITIVE and EMPOWERING Textiles Art, Embroidery, Illustration & Pattern Design! 

A little behind the scenes snapshot of my work being delivered to @upstairsgalleryberkhamsted yesterday ready for todays opening of 'A few of my favourite things' exhibition consisting entirely of gorgeously curated Textiles works!! I had a good old nosy when I dropped my work off yesterday and I will be back, so much great work, make sure you pay a visit! Head to the events section of my website for more information!
Happy New Year everyone and what a happy start to the year it has been over here. I have been quietly working away behind the scenes so far this year and am thrilled to announce that I have been accepted to exhibit in the @upstairsgalleryberkhamsted 'A few of my favourite things' exhibition! There will be 10 of my pieces on display from my pretty pieces of positivity collection (including this beauty) with prices starting from only £15. The exhibition will be on display from 15 January through to 2 February, check out my website for more information. Hope you have all been enjoying January so far!
Well what a year it has been! Taking part in exhibitions and fairs again after almost ten years, accepted in to @prismtextiles ready to exhibit with them in 2019. An amazing set of supportive customers, six brand new high street stockists, new greetings cards, Christmas cards, art prints and more!! Thank you everyone for an amazing 2018, I couldn't do it without your support and I can't wait for 2019! Hope you all have very happy holidays!
Well what a week (and a bit that was) if you follow my Insta stories you will have seen that there wasn't much time for rest after all the fun festive fairs, it was straight to deliveries @on_thehighstreet and @eddieandpearl who not only needed a bit of a restock as their lovely customers have been buying my cards and art prints, but they also now have a wide range of my Christmas cards, both individually and as the boxed up packs of 10!! I love seeing my work in Eddie & Pearl and On The High Street and having a regular excuse to stop by and have a browse. So if you are in beautiful Stony Stratford pop in to both shops, they are chocked full of amazing gift ideas!!
Well this is the final festive fair spam for the season. Today I am at @madeinbedford in @bedfordcornexch with #cactus decorations, #christmascards and tiny #tropical wreaths. Come and say hi, we are here until 4pm
Well it's the silly season so it's time for another festive fair picture, this time at the @forestersarmsbedford beautiful garden. Here until 7pm!
Happy Thursday everyone. I just wanted to pop a little post out there and give you all a quick update.

I will have a range of #christmascards #greetingscards #artprints and more. If that wasn't enough to tempt you, there will be mulled wine and waffles!! Don't forget you can also catch me at @madeinbedford on Sunday at the #bedford corn exchange from 10-4pm, there will be a HUGE amount of really talented artists, photographers and makers and some fab cakes, coffee and mulled wine too, so make sure you pop on by.

Well you might have noticed a flurry of activity this week about @justacard #indieweek and today is the final day of #justacardfun, an alternative to #blackfriday... Today is #indiefriday a prompt to explore and discover brilliant independents, just search the hashtag and shop from a bunch of brilliant independents and find something unique, made, crafted or curated by a passionate individual! Now I don't have any extra discounts or offers for today, I have my bundle offers and free delivery over £25 all the time. What I can offer is that I work all through the year to source high quality printing at an affordable price in the UK, find the best cost effective eco friendly card stock (that I love), find affordable frames from sustainable forests made in the UK... and after all that, I put love care and attention in to every design, embroidery, illustration and package that leaves my studio! Rest assured, if it has my name on it, thought, care, attention and heart has gone in to making the best quality piece for the best possible price. So if you like what you see, support the independents you love today and every day, even if it is #justacard

Today's @justacard Indie week is all about community, really shouting out about and showing how much you love your favourite independents!! I did this during the last #justacard campaign and wanted to share some of my new finds with you! @caitersssss is a fantastic illustrator and artist! Her cards, prints and portraits are all so skillfully executed yet are fun and quirky at the same time, check her out! @goldenharegallery has a fantastic range of works that people are ALWAYS talking to me about, check them out as they are ALL over the place at shows this festive season with a great selection of art and homewards @alittlebirdtoldmegallery I know it is another gallery, but these two galleries are so different, well worth a visit to this treasure trove in the barn courtyard (also next to @libertyrosevintage who are well worth checking out) @khiaminteriors are a real treasure trove of interiors and homewares! I had driven past so many times before going inside and it is well worth a visit for fun, funky and quirky items, it is a real find! @gourmandpixels is so worth following... Fabulous food photography that will not only make you feel hungry... But will make you happy about it! This is by no means all of the Indies I love... but I have run out of characters... There are so many amazing shops, galleries, artists, makers and photographers out there, tell me who your favourites are and join in the #justacardfun
