moody bathroom update

    It wasn’t that long ago that I tackled this bathroom but here I am coming back for round 2!

so that was june…

From top left… *Thoroughly enjoying these colourful doors just down my street. I walk past them everyday but only noticed them last week.*A bunch of flowers from our neighbours, handpicked from their back garden brightened up our house for a week. Who said neighbourly spirit didn’t exist in London?*A Birthday trip to London Zoo. My…

in bloom

Awkward?! I’m no model but I thought all the headless versions of myself DIY after DIY have been getting a bit creepy. Here’s a simple make for you. Simple, because I’ve done most of the hard work for you. Just download this mirror flower print and get cracking. All you need is a white or…

OUT & ABOUT

Here are some little snapshots of inspiration I’ve found out and about recently. From the top… Northcote Records juicy typography caught my eye walking down Northcote Road.  Jewel coloured notebooks in Paperchase. Total simplicity with a ‘Look at me’ colour and I’m sold. New card range by Ingela P Arrhenius for Lagom. They could pretty much…

a light in leeds

Last month I was asked to do the artwork for Redeemer Church’s new sermon series in the book of Jonah. Redeemer is an exciting church plant in Leeds, a city I used to call home myself. They are hoping to bring the amazing news of our saviour Jesus to this city that’s pretty under churched…

dad’s day printable card

Wow! How on earth are we already well into June! I felt as if May didn’t even really happen…a blink and it was gone. So I’m a little perplexed as to how it’s nearly Father’s Day but never the less I come to this post somewhat prepared with a free printable card for any of…

colour me happy

A few weeks ago, I felt particularly compelled to illustrate a flamingo in my lunch break. Pretty random huh?! Perhaps I was getting into the spirit of summer, who knows?! You can download this image as your desktop wallpaper (13″ or 15″) right here. Brighten up your background with this jolly fellow.

so that was may…

From top left…*This month Wagamama waved good bye to my favourite dish ‘Amai Udon’. I’m still wondering what they were thinking, but the sad news undoubtably call for a visit to enjoy my ‘usual’ one last time. I’d forgotten how much I love their menus! There I was dreaming of how lovely it would look…

diy embellished necklaces

This first necklace could really be easier! I’ve wanted a statement necklace like this for a while and thought why not just make it? Here’s what you’ll need… suede cord / crystal chain You’ll also need a cheap chain of some description. I have many old necklaces that I never really wear anymore so I…

blonde is best

Controversial as it may be, I would always choose a blondie over a brownie. The only exception being when peanut butter is involved…naturally. Here’s a very yummy recipe I tried out recently. The blueberries add moisture and I really liked that you could taste the nuttiness of the ground almonds. So here’s the recipe for…

Pick Me Up

Happy weekend! I thought I’d post a few sneaky photos from my trip to Pick Me Up. Be inspired by these cute and colourful visual treats. It made me aware that there hasn’t been enough typography doodle time in my life recently. I’ll try and get that sorted.
