Happy April & Happy Easter!

This month I want to share some of the recent designs I've done with an Easter theme.  These new designs are now available to retailers at wholesale prices, via the publisher I work with, Art Eco Designs .  It's a bit late for this year, but these will also be available from my Etsy and Folksy shops in time for next Easter.....

​In the meantime, I'm letting their sugary sweet colours fill my blog in the hope that they will brighten your day...

March was a very busy and chaotic month, what with all the snow days causing disruption to work and family life.  It feels very good to see the spring flowers now, like a new beginning.

I've been working on lots of graphics commissions this past month whilst trying to keep adding to my licensing portfolio.  I am hoping that April will be a month of more opportunity to create more portfolio work.  With that in mind, I want to create something new everyday to put it out on my Instagram.  I've been interested in some of the 100 day Instagram challenges I've seen, mostly starting in April, in the past couple of years.  I'm not sure I want to be brave enough to declare a 100 days challenge as that makes it big and scary and very off putting.

So I'm just going to start with focusing on trying to create something nature themed each day throughout April, no matter how small, in an effort to make each little thing add up.  
I like the idea of small progress each day adding up to big leaps forward.
We shall see - but those are my plans for this shiny new month and I look forward to at least having a go!...

Talking of a shiny new month.  It's time to reveal my FREE April desktop wallpaper for my lovely email subscribers.  It had to be the bunnies and chicks this month!...

Hello!

Happy February! I hope it finds you well.
I am always happy to see February.  Signs of spring are all around and with spring being my favourite season, it's wonderful to see the flowers burst open and hear all the birds return.

Of course it also means that Valentines day is only a couple of weeks away, so with that in mind, I have filled this post with this year's Valentines range from my Etsy & Folksy shops.

You will see there are two new designs fresh in...

First up is 'I Blooming' Love you' an A5 card with kraft envelope.  Also fresh in this week is 'Valentine, You're just my type' budgie love card, which is also another large A5 card...

There are also a few designs returning and I have set up a Valentines Day sections in both my Etsy and Folksy shop to make it easy to find them...

Also, with it being the beginning of a fresh new month, it's time to reveal this month's
FREE desktop wallpaper.  
I love the fact that February sees nature waking up, showing signs of early spring like snowdrops and crocus and a sense that love is in the air with the days gradually stretching their daylight hours and the dark days of winter falling behind us...hooray! 

This month's wallpaper tries to capture that feeling with two loved up hedgehogs waking up among the spring flowers.

As always, this desktop wallpaper will be sent out to everyone on my mailing list.  If you would like to get one for your desktop, here is a link to where to join my mailing list.

​One last thing, if you are based in Somerset, please keep an eye out for Somerset Living magazine, a lovely, fairly new lifestyle magazine from the Somerset Gazette.  This month is the wedding issue and you may spot a familiar face on pages 12 and 13!  I understand that one of the places you can pick up a free copy of the magazine is inside Marks & Spencer in Taunton.  It's definitely worth a look as it's packed with home, beauty and local interest stories.

Have a wonderful week!
Best wishes
