Everything I blog are things that either inspire me, make me smile or I just generally think are beautiful!

I love flowers, birds, animals and anything else to do with nature and are my main inspiration in my work. My etsy shop will stock things to buy soon so keep checking by!

Sweet Williams

Working on my Sweet Williams pattern now - the bottom image is the old version and the top one is the rescanned one with my new scanner. Can’t believe the difference. So much cleaner, sharper and more vibrant colour!


Goldfinches & Asters
New and improved version of this pattern - rescanned with my lovely new scanner and the quality is so much better! Looking forward to getting this printed onto fabric, it’s one of my favourite patterns I’ve created.
