Notecards In Spring...

It's been great to have some time in the studio to play around with ideas and to start putting together initial ideas for a new collection of notecards. Here is a sneak peek..

Creativity In The Studio....

It has been great to have some time to get back to basics creatively over the last month.

If you are creative you will know that when you have a period of time in which you stop using your skills or use them less often, you find yourself becoming a little unsettled and itching to get your hands on a piece of paper and a pen (or your medium of choice).

Then, when you do actively make time to be creative something wonderful happens. When you get away from the routine of life and back to the thing which you love doing, you realise that the creativity you've craved has formed part of your very soul and you aren't quite you without it. Which is why as a creative person it is SO important to make time to sit down each week to draw or sew or paint or just create.

Here is a little peak into my studio and the wonderful designs that I have been creating over the past month....

A Little Damask Design....

It has been a busy month and I still can't get over how fast 2013 is going. In the last month I have been working on wedding stationery orders which are always creatively satisfying but I have also been making time to draw, be inspired and to see what I can create for fun.

Below is a little taster of the designs I have been working on. So have a look and let me know what you think as I want everything I create to be something which is eye catching and to be something which someone else would want in their home.

Spring is in the air.....

Tomorrow it will be the 1st February 2013. A new day, a new adventure and a step closer to spring. I can tell it is on its way because the fresh green stems of my tulips have emerged from the soil and spring means wedding season!

I was very excited this week to deliver some finished invitations to a lovely couple, Kelly & James. They are getting married in April this year and it all became real for them when they opened that box of invitations. It gave me great pleasure to present the invitations to them and filled me with joy seeing how excited and happy they were with them. So, because of that I wanted to share the design with you,  may I present Kelly & James April 2013.....
