guten tag

i have just come back from a few days in munich. ive never been to germany before and it was amazing. i went to a cute little village on the border of germany and austria, saw houses that looked like cockoo clocks and drank some really good beer! i also ate some excellent cake and saw lots of sausage dogs. i will post some pictures in the next few days.
i have been so so busy with cherry cherry that my personal work has been put on the back burner. however i have some interesting projects in the pipeline so watch this space. my notebooks are to be featured in the financial times, how to spend it magazine, sometime in november...this is pretty darn exciting.

busy times...


hello! I've been very busy lately...doing a design for a Harrods shopping bag, which, after a lot of amendments, is finally finished. Once I get pics I will post them for the world to see!
I have also been busy with Cherry Cherry, which is going well, busy with my after school art club...kids are so funny, and busy looking after my new cat ,Ned, who is a mega pest! Also look out for some new cards coming soon:)

Me and the Fine City gang will be making some appearances at a few craft fairs over the next few months...the first one being the Candy Floss fair in Sheffield on July 18th, see the website for details, and the second one is the Craftwerk fair in London on August 1st, so pop along to either, or both if you're a fan, and buy some fabulous goodies!
