Townhouse

Townhouse

A work in progress.
Due to having some personal-at home rest days this week I have been working on some pieces I have had in my head for a while. The first is a development of one of my other designs 'beach house'. As this is a really popular illustration I have looked into moving it on for a possible design for bags.



The second is a fox illustration I now love, and I cannot believe I haven't illustrated a fox before being called Harriet Alice Fox!


Recently I have been given quite a few frames, and I have now challenged myself to fill them with lovely pieces of art : ).

New Design range for 2012!

I wanted something fresh, fun and cute for 2012.
So I went with a farm yard theme, and all the lovely characters.





What do you think?

What is Love?

Love is the same no matter the city or country.
These great icons of the world incorporate Love in the imagery and they themselves represent Love to so many people.

Seeing Triangles!

Seeing Triangles!

Over Christmas I was determined to make a start on a patchwork quilt. I had the idea of creating a patchwork quilt using a variety of men's suiting fabrics, (I now work as an assistant buyer for menswear, and the company I work for throw away a lot of small cuttings of fabric-luckily it is now donated to me, and the pieces I don't think I will have use for I donate to my old school.)

Patchwork attempt number 1:
Cutting out the pieces.

This is from a pattern my grandparents created and worked on together. I wanted to encorporate these flowers/stars, but these were done as centrepieces and never made into an all over patchwork.
Working it into one big sheet proved to be very complicated. 
So we decided to scrap this design and move on.
As it was my first ever patchwork we (We being my grandnan, my mum and me) went for a really simple pattern.

Patchwork attempt number 2:
So we began seeing triangles, many many triangles.

This is the plan for the overall look of the quilt. 
Once we liked the way it all looked, they were allocated numbers. 

Then came the stitching.
First for the squares.
Then for the rows.
And eventually as one big sheet.
We tacked the front sheet onto some wadding and backed the whole thing with lining. 
Now all that is left to do is finish by hand stitching the edges to neaten them.
I can't wait to get snuggled under this!

A little bit of Christmas...

A little bit of Christmas...

I loved having all the time off work this Christmas and being able to be back at my parents house for the whole time. Our Christmas stockings hung by the fire.  

Trying to get to grips of using the new tablet I bought for Tom.
I'm not the best with technology. 

Ben loved the look of my new camera. 

Dodgy poses with the move controller whilst dancing. Apologies : )

Gift ideas no.3... making a personalised cushion.

Gift ideas no.3... making a personalised cushion.

Making a personalised cushion. 
This gift was created for my boyfriend's sister Lizzie. 

Planning out the design. 
I wanted to incorporate her name within the piece so that's where I started.
I then pieced together some of the flowers I had sewn by hand and arranged them.  
A few close up images of the piece.  


 
 Below is an image of the finished cushion. 
All is either sewn by hand and then attached to the cushion front or appliquéd by hand to the front.  

Merry Christmas Lizzie!
