Goodbye Raymond Briggs 😔🫶 Thank you for all

Goodbye Raymond Briggs 😔🫶 Thank you for all your incredible art, storytelling, humour, thoughtfulness, originality & magic 🎨💛

Everyone knows and loves The Snowman (rightly so!) but it was the gross out dark humour & originality of Fungus the Bogeyman that first captured me. Hilarious!

‘When the Wind Blows’ stayed with me for a long time, if you’ve read or seen it, you’ll know 😢 Those characters, those drawings, colours, atmosphere 🤍

My two personal favourites, but there is so much beauty, tenderness, laughter, love, fun, sadness, humour, bittersweet moments and all aspects of life in Raymond Briggs’ books.
What a special legacy to leave behind ❤️

My favourite @makeartthatsells Bootcamp course sta

My favourite @makeartthatsells Bootcamp course started last week, and the first assignment is a *dreamy* one 🌺🌺🌺🌺

A flower beginning with the third letter of my name. C is for Cuckoo Flower 🌸🐦

Cuckoo flowers are named for being the flowers that bloom at the same time the first cuckoo of Spring is heard. Spring is such a magical time, so I couldn’t resist choosing this perfect little wildflower.

Hi again! I’ve been really quiet here lately. I’ve been up to my eyes finishing off the final details of a BIG project I’ve been working on for about 18 months - rebranding & relaunching my design business 🤩

After 12 years (I started my business in June 2010), the old branding & name just didn’t feel right anymore or fit with the direction I want to go in or the new ranges I want to create. I’ve put so much thought into all the planning &
taking the plunge - it’s quite scary to shake things up so much when everything is otherwise going well! But my heart was so invested in this new direction so I took the big leap and had been working like crazy for the big reveal & relaunch which happened on Friday. Cue allll the butterflies! Eek! 🫣😅

After the big reveal on Friday, I had my first @watercolour.sky market stall on Saturday. After all the worry & doubt, I was so relieved that my stall planning & making all came together, and everything went down really well. Cue allll the relief! 😂😅

Despite being a very tired bunny after a crazy couple of weeks final prepping, I couldn’t feel happier or more grateful with how things have gone 💕💫
Whoever said the magic happens outside of the comfort zone was totally right. Here’s to doing scary big things! 😅🙃🙌

Sneaky sneak peek of a tiny part of a BIG project

Sneaky sneak peek of a tiny part of a BIG project I’ve been working on for aaaages.

Everything is finally coming to a head 😅 and I’ll be sharing all the biz in about a week.

I’ve got a huge to do list before next week, but I’ll get there 🤩

I’ll be riding the rollercoaster of that nervous-excited-nervous feeling but here goes!🎢 🙃🙂🙃😆
