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

Today's challenge for @justacard Indie week is to make an image using the #justacard logo to help spread the #justacardfun and most importantly the message!! The whole point of the campaign is to support independent designers, makers, shops, galleries and more! To help spread the word and the brilliant products, galleries and retailers that are out there that not only make and sell FABULOUS stuff, but are run by real people putting heart and soul in to what they are doing to make it as wonderful as possible! And as the wonderful folks at JUST A CARD say, every time you buy something from an independent a REAL person does a REAL happy dance! This image is full of pattern as that is what I truly love and I thought I should add a bit of my heart and soul to the logo as that really is what JUST A CARD is all about! Also, tiny update, I believe that the Guardian article featuring the campaign earlier in the week will be followed up this eve by an interview in BBC news, what a way to spread the word!
I wanted to get involved in Independents week as a part of the @justacard campaign to support small businesses by helping to give them a voice! The first day of #justacardfun is YOU - Have you met... Share a picture of yourself (this is from the opening of the exhibition at @saffronwaldenmuseum) and share 10 facts about yourself, so here it goes. 1. I originally trained as a Textiles & Surface designer at Uni & graduated in 2009 2. I started my business as a side project in 2010 (it was called One Off Works and was predominantly fabric accessories) 3. I took a junior marketing position to learn how to market my work 4. I ended up staying in marketing for 6 years and getting a CIM Diploma 5. I quit my full time marketing job in 2016 to get back in to Surface design & freelance 6. I studied online part time to get back in to illustration 7. I like coffee a little bit too much 8. I love to visit new cities and places for inspiration (sometimes that is even just getting out of your normal space and designing something on the plane) 9. I am married to a very patient and tolerant furniture maker 10. I am always covered in thread #justacard
Hi everyone and a very merry Monday to you all!! This week is a big one here in my studio as I am getting ready for @sallyartistsmakers at Thame town hall on Saturday. These beautifully boxed cards with a variety of fun designs will be there along with some new A3 prints and framed pieces! I will also be taking along my brand new card spinner so that people can pick their own Christmas card bundles from all of this year's 30+ designs!!! I don't know if you can tell but I am VERY excited!! Have a great week all!
Happy Friday everyone! And what a happy Friday it is, it really is the start of the festive season, but before all the festive fairs I am exhibiting work in a very special late night shopping event at The Barn Courtyard Wendover, all the fab shops/workshops in this Aladdin's cave of loveliness will be open from 6-9pm for festive fun! I will have 6 (that's right 6!!) Embroidered Textiles art pieces as a part of the exhibition @alittlebirdtoldmegallery (and they are all for sale) including this new piece of prettiness which is a giant 10inches in diameter. But don't worry if you can't make it tonight, pieces will be on display until Christmas Eve, so make sure you pay a visit to wonderful Wendover!

It feels a little wrong to be working on #christmas #illustrations and #sketches when it is so gloriously sunny and there is a pool... But I do love a fun festive doodle...
