I’ve been working on two other card designs which I managed to quickly sneak into the PUSH Shop before the weekend. One is a bit of a caricature of Jane Fonda in Cat Ballou and the other, well I...
Check out this stunning 19th century villa in Reggio Emilia. It manages to mix glamour, salvage and antique style all into one. In fact, I pinched this from Elle Decoration Country – and I’m...
I have just returned from Somerset House, where my good friend Emma and I were able to sample preview pieces from the next Boden Autumn Winter 2013 range. Forgetting the clothes for just a second,...
Firstly the pole shoot went well (I think)! I have yet to see the pics but we worked our backsides off and made a pretty good team, I might add. So I’m hoping there must be some money shots there....
How gorgeous is this shoot from an equally gorgeous blog called Travelling Mama? Makes me want to turn back the clock, be a ballerina, live in Copenhagen and ……organise my wardrobe while on pointe...
How can you not smile watching this video? I keep expecting Kevin McCloud to pop up from behind a tree, making one his man-made wood cabins (loved that program btw)!
I’m afraid my blogging may be a little sporadic over the next few months, what with the extension and all. As we speak, a log cabin in being built in the back garden, to house some of the furniture...
Apologies it has been at least two weeks since I’ve blogged and I’m usually a lot more punctual. The reason being a) maybe it’s the weather but I haven’t been hugely inspired lately b) the builders...
Enjoy the chocolate!
If your into the likes of House Doctor and Ferm Living then you’ll love Emma Fexus’s book Northern Delights, which features some of the créme de la créme of Scandinavian Design. You may well...
There were some gorgeous things to buy at the Country Living Fair on Thursday. I wasn’t in a particularly “country” mood – probably something to do with the arctic weather and Angel tube station...
You may recall a post a while back where I made my Ulyana Sergeenko gathered skirt? Admittedly it was quite a while back but I have finally finished the black number I spoke about. The reason it...
I have a confession to make. I’ve been a bit slow on the whole blog front recently because I’ve been a little distracted. The reason being, I am choreographing a routine for my Pole class to “Bad...
I bought this gorgeous little starfish in Cornwall – with the plan to make it into a pendant necklace. A year on I have finally got round to it! Tools for the job? Pliers, some silver beads, silver...
What’s not to love about tulle and pointe shoes? So here’s a little project I’ve been working on – which do we prefer Black Swan or White Swan?
I have a thing for bare brick walls. In my dream home I would have a feature wall with a gorgeously aged and textured brick wall. But let’s face it unless your living in a factory conversion or a...
Last year some friends and I had a grand plan to go to La Braderie, the biggest flea market in Europe. As often happens, life got in the way and it never happened. Now, with the imminent start of...
After completing the workshop in May on Creating Characters, I’ve really been on the look out for embroidery hoops. Funnily enough they seem to have taken off in a big way and there are some great...
Daphne Van Den Heuvel really knows how to illustrate texture. Love, love, love….. Aren’t they stunning? I love the stripes on brown paper, you almost want to reach out and touch them. If you would...
I’m c-o-l-d …..so c-o-l-d! I’m fed up with wearing layers and boots. It gets to this part of the year and you almost forget what it’s like to wake up in the morning and put on a t-shirt and...
I watched the documentary Diana Vreeland – The Eye Has To Travel over the weekend and it is an absolute must-see. I was totally transfixed from beginning to end. “I was the most hideous thing in...
I’ve been working on these images for Valentine’s Day. What do you think? The first was inspired by an image I saw on Pinterest of a girl in a mask, which looked so feminine – I then just added...
I love this picture by Sieff (1985), so simple but with the shadows from the window, so clever. I wanted to see if I could capture the same effect, particularly the shadows of the netting but I...
I’m loving I’m His Girl by Friends at the moment – almost Princess Superstar mixed with Ladyhawke. And when I came across Ashley Goldberg’s cool coloured girls I thought they just fit the song...
Last year my mum bought me a box of positive affirmations. It was a really great idea and actually, although my husband looked at it with total amusement, I do think that starting the day with a...
Never mind the couture at Chanel what about those lashes? Weren’t they fantastic? Couldn’t resist putting pen to paper! Illustration by me, Images from Style.com And if you’ve ever wondered what...
Finalmente, the rest of the collages from Buenos Aires…… (from right) Kitsch calendar pics from Arandu, the most amazing polo shop in Recoleta, a tin wall mount from the flea market in San Telmo,...
I know I should be embracing the snow, but in London, it really is just a crime. This sludgy, slushy grey ice is just depressing and makes me yearn for spring So it was so refreshing to get the...
Today I planned to do the next installment of my Buenos Aires collages but alas, the schools are closed because of the snow, so I will have two little people causing havoc today! So I thought, as a...
Just before Christmas I went to Buenos Aires for my aunt’s 50th Birthday. Wow – what a trip it was! I have been meaning to blog about this trip for ages but I really wanted to go through the photos...
