It’s Easter! This may well disappoint but this isn’t a post filled with eggs, bunnies, chocolate, fluffy chicks or a mixture of the above. This is a canvas that I designed that hangs on our wall all year round to remind us that Jesus has risen! We remember this at Easter but really we can…

two little words
Receiving a little thank you card the other day reminded me just how nice it is to get one. Here’s a pack of thank you cards I made on request for a friend. Somehow I keep on being drawn back to my ink pot at the moment. I used to be a little ink crazy…

If you’ve read my blog for a little while then you might well remember this post, written just before moving to London to set out on a bit of an adventure. God very obviously guided Nick and I to Shepherd’s Bush to be a part of Trinity West Church. Reuben and Louisa Hunter, started the church from…
Read Morespring colour inspiration
watch / DIY mouse mat / regret nothing print / kitchen / London photograph / iphone case / bonjour amour print / single bead necklace It’s mildly amusing that I’m posting this on such a dull and dreary day. It seems a very long way from spring, not helped by the blizzards earlier this week! Nevertheless this fresh colour combination might put a ‘spring’ in your step…

Here’s a simple DIY idea for yourself or even better, a gift. When I think fridge magnets, I usually think ‘tacky’ but these should add some colour and life to your fridge or notice board without the tat. All you need is… For the gold areas I used my gold metallic paint as a base…

This project has been quite the lingerer. Back in September I realised I was becoming far too pally with my computer and losing touch with the art of drawing. Most things I produce at work or in my own time, start as drawings or have an element of handwork but it felt like too long…

The Lovely Drawer…. Wow! A whole year of blogging! It seems to have flown by. I started this blog with no real clue about blogging, no big idea and no real direction. All I knew was that I wanted a place to put all my creative endeavors, as well as all the things that inspire…

Often I create random illustrations and patterns that just end up sitting on my usb stick as they don’t really belong anywhere. I realised a great way to give them a home would be turning them into wallpaper for the iphone/ipad. So if you fancy a change get downloading and enjoy! Download ‘shower’ here Download ‘hello…
Read Morecookie?
I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to use this Birthday gift ever since June. My mum bought me this cookie cutter with interchangeable letters. Now it might sound lame but this was definitely one of my favourite birthday presents. Anyway I ditched the cutter from the packet and used a heart one instead, stamping niceties…
Read Morevalentine’s day comes late
Life has seemed pretty non-stop busy recently, which is possibly why I ended up rundown and nursing a yucky cold this week. Nick and I decided to do Valentines day on Saturday rather than Thursday which was a brilliant idea! Pancake day had also been a no show as Mr Cold had me wiped out…

dutch rooftops/ quilted blanket/ patterned wall/ typography/ necklace/ polka dots (unknown source) I’m thoroughly enjoying this eye catching colour combination!

Ok so I love pumpkin! Pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, roast pumpkin, pumpkin ravioli, pumpkin bread…I could go on. Sometimes I think I should have been born in America. Anyway I’m always finding yummy recipes that incorporate this delicious ingredient but in Britain you can’t just walk into any old supermarket and pick up a can…

May I introduce you to Rob Hodgson. I love love love his naïve illustrations so very much. His printed and scratchy textures gives each image added depth and his characters ooze personality. I’ve posted quite an array for you to peruse so enjoy.

After my last post you might realise I’m digging the chalkboard trend. Here’s another simple gift idea…buy some glass water bottles (these are from IKEA) and paint on rectangles of blackboard paint so they can be labelled with whatever drink they want. Tie on some chalk and it’s good to go. Pretty handy for entertaining! In…

These were another Christmas present make but could easily work for any gift during these chilly winter months. I made the mugs a bit more fun with some blackboard fun. Warm your insides and get doodle happy at the same time, lovely. You’ll need the following to make up your kit…. They are really easy…

Nick and I decided to continue last years tradition of making Christmas presents, which perhaps sounds sweeter than it actually works out in practise. We set aside a day to embrace our inner elf and set up a production line. One day is simply not enough if you want to go at a leisurely speed.…

In amongst all the frills and thrills of Christmas day it’s easy to lose sight of what we’re celebrating, when in fact it’s the best news ever to hit this world. God came to this earth as a man, giving up the glory of heaven for a humble life as a human named Jesus. He…
