Last week was bit of an mammoth week for a person recovering from flu, but it certainly was productive. I had a meeting about my second book, which is looking really good – happy editor & happy author. I’m working on the sample chapters and my friend Gina is working on the first set of…

Just popped in to say hello. I’m hurtling around at high speed working on the last few book projects (for phase 1) writing up the patterns and planning, sorting, fabric shopping (last bit is my favourite!). I’ve also been working on my other major project, teaching resources on 20th century paintings, which is fascinating and…

Opps. I disappeared again then. Not due to illness, more due to wellness and the desperate scramble to catch up on some lost time. I’m back chugging away at the book, and juggling other things and hopefully making some headway.Top Drawer seems to have gone pretty well, in the end. I spent most of the…

Phew. My super team worked wonders and we got the show set up by mid-afternoon yesterday. I wasn’t feeling too fantastic by the end of it, but was pretty pleased with the result. The stand isn’t as good as it would have been if I had been able to do everything I planned. The backdrop…

I spoke too soon. Flu has not let go of me yet. This weekend sees the start of Top Drawer, a major trade show at Earl’s Court, London. I’m not really well enough for it yet, but luckily I have the ace team driving me down tomorrow to set up and bring me back to…

I noticed a bit of theme in my holiday photos. I’ve always liked a bit of urban lettering, but I have only recently started to actually collect it. This is the sort of collection I actually have space for, so I might allow it to develop!

Exactly two weeks ago, I staggered home from the studio, full of cold and backache, and fell into bed. Where I stayed for two weeks. TWO WEEKS with flu. Today is the first day I have really felt ok. It’s such a relief! I wasn’t planning too much time off, what with that book to…

Just a quick note to say that I’ve got several pieces in the new Elle Deco! I’m in bed with flu, or some other horrible thing, and this cheered me up hugely this morning!Happy festivities everyone. I might not be back blogging for a while – just as well it’s Christmas and there is lots…

When there is a little snippet of time, I knit This cardigan below will be next but one on my needles, having mislaid the second part of the giant cream blanket. It’s from Rowan Studio Issue One. I’m going to make it up in rather loud orange silk yarn which I bought years ago and…

A tiny glimpse of something for the book. Progress continues, I’ve made 7 (or is it 8?) of the 20 projects, so I’ll be well over half way through them by Christmas, and have to completed them all by 11th January. At the beginning of January I am going to London for the first tranche…
