Summer Holidays

I'm off on my summer holiday to the beautiful south of France, so it'll be a bit quiet around here for the next few weeks, but do not fear, I'll be back with lots of fantastic new inspiration, work and news on Monday 5th August!

In the run up to my trip I have been dreaming of hot sunny days with lavender and sunflowers gently swaying in the breeze and it lead me to create a new collection of patterns which I am sharing with you today!





So, I hope my French has served me right in the little image I made below.. à bientôt! See you soon!

Where I've been recently..

I've been rather quiet recently so I thought I'd do a quick post to let you know where I've been and why I've been so quiet!

It's mostly because I've been working on my dissertation. What's it on you ask? Well the title is 'has technological development resulted in cultural anxiety?'.. So there has been a lot of researching and writing (or at least attempts to!)

And it's partly because I disappeared off to France for a bit.. here are a few pictures!

Beautiful flowers in Parc de la Tête d'Or in Lyon

The next three photos sum up Provence!

Quai de l'Oise sign with added heart!


Since getting back I have been busy doing more dissertation, updating websites for clients, building new websites for new clients, creating new items for my iheartrosie shop on Etsy, planning and buying furniture for my new house and trying to kick Student Finance England into order for buggering up my loan so I can actually go back to Uni and finish my degree!

I will post some pictures and links to new stuff as soon as I can!
