I haven't really had much time/energy to do many new illustrations (personal work: i.e children's book characters or thoughtful doodles) since I started "le grown up job" in March last year. I have become obsessed since starting "le grown up job" with Pinterest and so see little point in blogging or creating (dare I say it) a tumbler account to display everyday imagery that inspires me - literally everyday I update Pinterest. So I find myself at a cross roads. I don't want to get rid of my dear blog since I have far more chance of updating this baby than my website. I am a self diagnosed techno-phob. However I am able to use macs/creative suites etc i just haven't quite got round to mastering the art of coding. So its down to my lovely computer whizz friend Alex to do my biding when it comes to updates for my website. It literally took me a month of attempts to master a wacom tablet. This quickly brings me to the point of this post, I've part decided in keeping with my new years resolution (to blog more) to post at least once a week (hopefully on a Monday) about creatives and people who inspire me. This could mean Illustrators, Artists, Restauranteers, Bloggers and beyond! Wish me luck!

Snow day!
So I thought I'd add some nice photos of the London snow! There is just something quite magical about snow and it makes even somewhere like London quiet. I've had a fairly quiet weekend with the usual saturday night out of course, despite the weather. I'd love to have a snow day tomorrow but I think that is probably not going to happen. Oh well! Happy weekend everyone!

Happy New Year 2013
HAPPY NEW YEAR! BRING ON 2013!
Phew! I cannot believe how badly I have neglected my dear blog. However I think 2012 despite being a total disaster on the blog front, was to say the least a successful one! I landed myself my first design job back in march, along with getting to visit my dear friend robyn in NYC. The professional design job took a huge weight off my shoulders and I guess I spent the next 9 months trying to remember how to function in the world, without the worry of no "real" job and wtf am I going to do now I've graduated. But with 2013 already here I've decided to get back to blogging and get my priorities in line once more! I am hopeful the new year will bring lots of new creative projects, along with lots of travels and adventures too. I am determined to treat myself once a month so I'm not quite as frazzled by the end of 2013, as I was at the end of 2012. I have also decided I WILL learn to knit and teach myself to cook really great food, before this year is out. So anyway I will leave you all now with a nice image or two. Do pop over to my pinterest acc (i have a serious addiction, in fact that too maybe a reason to why the blog got left on the back burner, whoops!) to see what inspires me daily My Pinterest Joy!

How time flies
Hiya,
I cannot believe that I haven't made a single post on here since January. I can only apologise for my absence. I'd like to blame social media such as pinterest but it's not a good enough excuse. I guess sometimes life just gets in the way. Well where to start? I got myself a real design job (monday to friday) waay back in March. So I'm properly settled in london. It's just great. However the job has not left me with much energy to do much of my own work in my free time. But with winter drawing in or the fact I've finally settled into my job, i've decided to get blogging again :) bet you're all delighted! Anyway here's a wee sneak peak at some images I'll be working on for my friend's christmas sale. It's gonna be an exciting couple of months.
