Personaliteas Tea Towel Giveaway!

My Personaliteas Tea Towel is now hot off the press and available to buy. Yay! You can get your mits on one from my etsy and folksy shops and from the fab ToDryFor website.

To celebrate I'm going to give one away, so if you'd like to be enter just leave me a comment below and tell me how you take your tea.  I'm a redbush tea fan myself, no milk or sugar and very weak so I'm pretty cheap to keep!  Coffee fans can also enter!

I've recently joined twitter so you can also enter by retweeting, or why not do both for 2 chances to win...

I'll pick a name out of a mug on July 31st...

Fifty Shades of Grey

Here's a recent illustration that I did for Baltimore magazine, about the latest publishing phenomenon that is 'Fifty Shades of Grey'.                  The art director wanted to show mums out for coffee sneakily reading the bestselling book which has been deemed 'mommy porn' in the USA. 

Let's get organized!

Here are my latest spot illustrations just published in Woman and Home.  This one is about decluttering your wardrobe and funnily enough I've just sent a large bag of old clothes to the charity shop.  I'm a terrible hoarder so it's always good to have a clear out and do some good as well.

This one is about hanging pictures and the tip is to use strips of velcro.  We have a family photo wall in our house too but I can't say I thought about using that..  I guess you wouldn't be left with holes all over the place although it might be a bit tricky to get off!

Illustration Friday - Heights

The Beanstalk was huge.  Luckily Louisa had a head for heights!

Just a quick one for this week's IF topic, my first in ages.  It's my niece's 8th Birthday today... Happy Birthday Louisa!  She's having a 'climbing' party with her sister Daisy and a few friends, so have fun girls and take care on those beanstalks!

To Dry For!

I'm excited to say that I have won this year's ToDryFor tea towel design competition! Yay!
Here's my winning entry: 'Personaliteas'.  I couldn't resist that play on words and had fun designing some fun teacup and mug characters. The design will be screen printed onto tea towels which will be for sale sometime in the Summer on ToDryFor's fab website and hopefully in a shop near you too...What's your favourite tea tipple?  I am a serious redbush tea fan, no milk or sugar and very weak, so one teabag usually lasts me all day, how thrifty is that!!

Spring is in the air!

It's been lovely and sunny here today, Spring is definitely on its way:)  This is my latest spot illustration for Woman & Home about tips for Spring cleaning.  Well, she's ready to tackle those cobwebs with her feather duster in hand so I think I'd better follow her lead as our house is not exactly a dust free zone!

Love Cats!

Happy Valentines Day!  Here's a cute cat couple - Clarence and Clara, bud vases made by Wade in the 1950's. They sit on my mantelpiece and make me smile:) I have a lot of vintage ceramics on my shelves and how that will mix with a boisterous boy in the house only time will tell...!  Have a great day everyone:)
