news

So the news in my actual NEWSletter, if you haven't read it, is that I got myself an agent!

I've been in to see them already and they're so lovely. I'm very excited.

I've thought about getting an agent on and off for the last 10 years so let's see what happens now I've finally taken the plunge...

I've started adding work to my portfolio on their website if you fancy a nosy...

news in a newsletter

My new newsy newsletter is out now. Earlier than usual. And with some actual news!

Must be Christmas!

Read it here.

ready for Christmas?

The main thing that makes me panic about not being “ready for Christmas” is other people panicking about not being ready for Christmas 🙄.

This comes only second to the people showing off in October that they’re “all done and ready for Christmas”.

I mean it’s just one day. How much “readying” can one actually do? And what do the people who are “ready” in October do in December? (Get “ready” for Easter? Or their summer holiday? Or NEXT Christmas?) 

Anyway. I’m NOT “ready”.

But that’s ok because it’s still only Wednesday.

Illustration is part of something exciting that I might be ready to announce this week... (an announcement about an announcement, something else I absolutely love 😂)

festive pattern

Lil pattern I made at the weekend.

feeling festive

Finally.... it's now ok to be all jingle-belly-christmasy and fully festive.

so bloody dark

It didn't actually get light today. And it was foggy. And wet.

I might need to get one of those SAD lamps to prod me out of my grumpy mood.

I bloody hate winter.

christmas jumper day

Apparently today is christmas jumper day. 

Not here though. 

Here in my studio its just NormalWoollyJumperDay.

To be precise it's TheNewJumperMyKidsBoughtMeFromCosDay....as it has been every day since my birthday last week. Best. Present. Ever.

Stay warm peaople!

newsletter news

New newsletter out now if you fancy a 3 minute break...

Clickety click here.

weather chat

It snowed.

The tiniest amount.

The neighbours ruined our Sunday lie-in with their shovelling.

My Monday Tesco delivery got cancelled! 

(Apparently due to adverse weather. But they cancelled it at 8am and it wasn't even due till 3pm, by which time the rain had melted all the bloody snow and there was nothing remotely adverse about anything.)

The country goes mad when we have 2cm of snow. 

Wish I was still in Bermuda.

colours for december

New colour palette...
