Alright, I know I’ve been slack. I’ve been on holiday and hence too busy relaxing to blog.

Unfortunately for you, you will now have to suffer looking at my ‘2011 watercolour painting’.

Strangely, each summer I get the urge to paint a picture of my holiday environs. The ‘one a year’ rule might be why they don’t seem to get any better…

This funny little offering is supposed to be of a glacier called La Meige which is close to a French town called La Grave. Not that you could tell from the evidence. 

Happy Friday.

Here’s some fabric that I printed earlier this week. If you fancy a bit for some crazy project you’ve got going on, then pop into one of my shops and treat yourself.

I thank you in advance, as it’s really clogging up my work room and would free up some space for all the stuff I want to print next week.

I’ve printed some squares of fabric, or ‘fat quarters’ as they’re known in the trade.

They’re the sort of thing people can use for their own craft projects. Quilting, a cushion cover - whatever takes your fancy really.

If you couldn’t get enough of my hand in the last post, here it is again for your delectation.

Here’s some ladybirds. I’ve popped a bit of lavender into the centre to give them a little aroma.  

The funny claw like thing holding onto one of the ladybirds is my withered hand. 

This is my new cushion cover. It’s the same design as my recent wall hangings. Not that I was being lazy or anything - I just thought it’d make a good cushion cover.

I took the photos in the garden. Yes, I know they are a little bit weird. What can I say, I simply lack photography skills.

So, I thought that I’d better get in on the old lavender bag malarky while the going’s good.

It’s a win, win situation really. Our house smells good, we’re sleeping well and the pesky clothes moths can’t stand the stuff.

Last Sunday I taught a fabric printing workshop as part of the We Make London summer pop up boutique.

I was lucky enough to work with some very talented women, who produced some fantastic work despite mostly never having printed before.

Here’s some of the work they produced. Please excuse the dodgy photos. I took them with my new phone. I need to find a teenager to come give me some lessons on how to use it properly.

This weekend the We Make London summer boutique opens up for your delectation. It’s only on for 1 week so make sure you set aside a bit of time to pop in and have a look.

I’ll be playing shopkeeper on Thursday morning - I haven’t done that since I spent an never ending Christmas holiday wrapping perfume. Come and say hello, I’m quite friendly.

Good gracious! My cushion covers are featured in the July issue of this new, glossy magazine.
