Rococo Bows & Shells Digital Wallpapers
Here is my monthly gift for my current and new subscribers - a patterned desktop and phone wallpaper to adorn your screens. The design is provided with a calendar box on and also a plain patterned wallpaper if you want to use it past February. As the month is associated with love, I thought my Rococo Bows & Shells design would be a vintage style romantic addition to your screens.
January British Bird Free digital wallpapers
As a new way to use my patterns from my bestselling gift wrap, I thought offering them as desktop and phone wallpapers would be a lovely gift to my customers and subscribers this year. So each month I will be giving a patterned desktop and phone wallpaper to adorn your screens. Each month there will be a design with a calendar box on and a plain patterned wallpaper if you want to use it past January.

I’m very fond of vintage textiles and have so much admiration for how our ancestors put so much care and time into making clothes and home textiles, then mending them as needed and passing on these treasured items.

Finding Noelle
During the run up to Christmas last year I took part in a festive art challenge created by the art agent Jehane Boden Spiers from Jehane Ltd. It was called Jehane’s Twelve Days of Christmas and Jehane provided a list of inspiring Christmas prompts for everyone to use to create Holiday artwork throughout December.
The Kind Moon
I have always been inspired by folktales and fairytales and I have quite an extensive collection of books on the subject I have collected over the years. Many of them are so rich with detail and are hauntingly poignant, they linger with you.
Free Fish Sampler Embroidery Pattern

Embroidery Tinting - Adding colour to your embroidery
Embroidery tinting is the name given to the technique of adding additional colour to your embroidered work by using paint, crayons, etc. I have used this method a lot over the years and it is a lovely way to add another dimension to your work and experiment with materials.
Finding Inspiration
One of the subjects I wanted to share with you today was inspiration and shed some light on my approach. If you already follow my instagram account you will be aware I have a deep fondness for anything vintage, particularly textiles and books.

Today I wanted to tell you about a really special project I was lucky to be involved in recently.
Caring Colouring Volume 2, is a charity colouring book created by Jehane Ltd with 100% of the profits going to the Sea Change Project. The Sea Change Project is a collective of scientists, film-makers, journalists and story-tellers who are actively working to save the endangered sea-kelp forests off the coast of Africa.
Printable Hedgehog Writing Set
I thought I would create a writing set that could be printed off at home and used anytime of the year. I tried to keep it gender neutral so thought my latest illustrations of hedgehogs, toadstools and birds would be perfect.
