NEW BLOSSOM PRINT

Hi everyone I love the Oriental Trend for bedding. I thought you might like to check the new Blossom print that I worked on as part of the design team at Littlewoods. The print is not only on bedding but is also on rugs/ cushions and curtains.

NEW JOULES PRINTS

You may think I am going Joules Clothing crazy as im writing another post on this great british brand. I was on their website today and there to my surprise was the Lemar Print that we worked on as part of the Joules Design team recoloured in lovely blues / pinks and yellow called Arielle for girlswear.  I love the skirt. It looks great for this season!! I can imagine my Naomi wearing the dress with fun stockings and boots. In fact its no surprise that the print was put on their wellies. So if you are looking for a fab outfit for your little girl this is a must have.

Sainsburys Mug design

Hi Guys I was looking through some magazines the other day and found one of my designs that I did for Sainsburys last year. It was in Aprils addition of Ideal Magazine. Its nice when your design is in a magazine- alas the designers name is never on it. Anyway it was nice to see.
