I’m so excited to share this recent project I worked on for Hobbycraft creating a full collection of DIY craft tutorials on how to make your own garden decor set, from making your own roper placemats, sewing your own napkin set, upcycling candles with a twisty makeover, making garlands to hang across your table, arranging floral jam jars & mini bud vases with seasonal blooms.

Bring the outside in with these nature inspired DIY projects perfect to bring some much needed spring cheer from painterly floral pouches, sustainable picnic set and pressed flower tip, tricks and ideas..

If I’m not painting them, I’m baking with them! How sweet are these floral shortbreads complete with scalloped edges…

As we move closer to Spring I wanted to share some of my favourite Spring projects from Modern Brush Lettering to inspire you for the season ahead…

So excited to start sharing some Spring themed DIY craft projects with you all over the next few months starting with these hand painted floral vases for Hobbycraft.

I was delighted to be asked to share an extract from my book Modern Brush Lettering with the Planet Mindful team this month.

I’m really missing teaching in person workshops & seeing lots of lovely faces learning together so I have decided to run a few live painting workshops. Join me online next month and learn how to paint loose watercolour florals to paint your own bouquets, we will be working through some colour exercises, floral exercises and the step by step together painting the bouquets.

Firstly thank you all for the lovely feedback about the cover of my new book Paint, Make, Create. I thought I’d share a bit more about the book here so you know what to expect & how you’ll be able to use the book to help you become confident with working with paints and combining them with other crafts.

Whenever I mention Nature Journaling on Instagram I always get lots of replies asking what it is and how to do it so I thought I’d share some tips for creating your own nature journal to embrace the seasons and celebrate them. First of all I’d suggest gathering what you have to work with, there’s no need to rush out and buy lots of materials, any paints, coloured pencils, chalks, pens ect you have will do the job plus there is no right or wrong way to journal. I like to use a mix of materials but find what works for you as you experiment.

Very excited to share the cover of my second book Paint, Make, Create. I began working on this in February 2020 and it was a big project that got me through the first lockdown, I threw myself into planning, writing, making, styling and shooting the step by steps for the book in those first few months of 2020 and we managed to squeeze 3 shoot days in late May so I’m so excited it’s finally ready to share with you all now.

Very excited to share my latest commission from Mollie Makes Magazine. In issue 125 you’ll find 8 collaged posters from me to pull out and pop on your walls. Designed to bring some joy into your January, this collection of designs combines hand lettering, painting, mark making and collaging…

This project is a great way to use up old cardboard and create a fun decoration to hang from the Mantlepiece, around your tree or along shelves for a touch of festive joy. As the title suggests there is no sewing involved, you’ll just need a few materials to get making….

Need an simple advent idea… why not try painting your own advent candle ready to bring some sparkle and magic into the festive season next month?

I was delighted to have some of my work included in Paper & Cloth design studios first collection of design inspiration for Autumn/Winter. You’ll spot my wild flower illustration below in the Nature section of the collection which celebrates ‘Natures little wonders in a bright and colourful way’.
