Back from Brighton

Just a quick snap of the stand at Brighton Art Fair. It went by in a whirl! A really good show, so good to catch up with friends and see lots of visitors to this fabulous event. The big otter print went down a treat!

Garage Damage!

It's been a funny old year for gardening. The allotment has been pretty much a disaster zone until the last month or so- but more on that later.
At home, we have finally made some progress with the plans to extend the garden. We had a dreadful old asbestos garage at the side of the house. We've had the asbestos removed, and demolished the 'palace of tat', to open up the area to the side of the house, and have a much larger garden. Almost 100% bigger.
New fencing has been installed, and the overgrown trees and bushes dealt with. Next comes the task of fence painting, then planning new borders, lawns and paths.

It was always our intension from day 1 of living here to tackle the huge tasks of removing the garage and dealing with the boundaries. Now it's out of the way, the fun stuff can really start, and I can start buying plants again!

Preview New Products Launched at Autumn Fair!

I'm very pleased and excited to announce the launch of some new products featuring my 'Red Squirrels' print.

I've been working with a fabulous and dynamic company, 'Go Creative'. Together we have developed some prototype products which we have been exhibiting for the very first time at The Autumn Fair in Birmingham.
The new range will become available to order from Go Creative in the coming weeks, but for now, here are some of the new goodies that we have been showcasing.
