I’m amazed at how much more relaxed I feel now Top Drawer is done. It was exhausting and stressful but I got such a lot out of it, that I don’t really mind being totally worn out now! Having said that, I’ve been hoping to have a bit of a break afterwards, but not a…

This is the room I am working in. Already it looks like mine. Fabric strewn everywhere!I spent a very enjoyable day at Bantock House, wondering around, drawing and absorbing ideas and inspiration. I started working with some leaves from the grounds, making templates and thinking about how to use the shapes in fabric. This is…

I have become increasingly frustrated at not having time recently to do more with this blog than just list where I am going and where I have been. I haven’t got any new work to show you, so I thought I would tell you about some of the other people I have met in the…

I’ve finally reached the end of the seemingly endless work for shows and applications. I’m having a well deserved rest for a week or two leading up to Christmas. By rest I mean working maybe only 7 hours a day and maybe taking weekends off! I will really stop completely for a few days over…
