Big Birthday Giveaway
Well friends it’s my birthday today and the final year of my twenties (sob sob). Knowing this fact is a massive improvement on a few months ago when I whole heartedly told someone I was 26. Oh dear, what a shock to realise that wasn’t the case when I did the maths! Anyone else struggle…

Wow, it’s that time of the month again! Time for some more free desktop wallpapers and this month I’ve kept it simple with my trusty watercolours and a limited colour palette. Both sets of text seem particularly relevant to me at the moment. Summer was definitely a time of learning to say ‘no’. When you start out…

I just made it! It’s nearly the end of the month but July’s free desktop wallpapers are up! This time around I decided to brush letter some encouraging phrases to spread some creative love. It’s always nice to be met with something inspiring when you face your screen at the beginning of the day…or the middle…or the end for…

It’s time for some Friday freebies to draw the working week to a close. It’s been such lovely weather here after the last few weeks that I’ve taken my camera out and about a bit more. I’m really enjoying capturing all the plant life nearby. It seemed silly not to make them into desktop wallpapers for…

Time for some new free desktop wallpapers and it seemed only fitting to bring in some Spring flower vibes! Hopefully having these on your screen will brighten up your day. I love a bit of watercolour and I’m hoping to perhaps get a bit of time over the Easter break to get my paint palette…

Happy end of the week! Boy I’m glad it’s the weekend and I may at least not be working for most of it! Things have been a bit light over here on the blog but balancing everything that’s been going on in October has been less than seamless. There have been tears. Lots of exciting…

I found out that I won the room makeover challenge, hooray! You may remember the print I made for it and now you can buy it from my Etsy shop, double hooray! If you fancy adorning your walls with this inky number then you can find it right here. A little note to say a change…

Hello! Tuesdays don’t generally have much to offer. You aren’t at the start of a fresh new week and yet not quite at the middle either and certainly nowhere near the downward slope and wind down to the weekend. So here’s some desktop love to put a smile on those faces or at least a…

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…

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…
Read MorePick 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.

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…

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.…

I was recently asked to design a flyer for Aberdeen University and Robert Gorden University Christian Union’s carol service. I pretty much had free reign, which always means more thinking time to start with, but much more fun in the end!
