"On average how often do you think about weddings?"-"Ummmm more often than I care to admit"

FINALLY a legitimate excuse to loiter around the bridal section of the Tesco magazine aisle, my sister's getting married. What's more, she and her fiance James asked me to design their invitations which I took as further excuse to launch myself into all things bridal! In the end they went for something quite subdued and sophisticated but I think, really really pretty. Please see below for the ceremony invite and one of the design options for the next day's BBQ invite, which they didn't go with but I still love...

As you may have gathered I enjoyed this more than is reasonable for any person to enjoy a job, so if anyone wants any invites designed then do please get in touch!

My heart is all of a flutter.

I'm a bad blogger. However I actually have something pretty exciting to share. My first designs to make it on to actual clothes. What's more... I REALLY want the clothes! They can be found in the pre-fall collection for ADAM, go have a look at style.com. You can't really see the print but they're lots of tiny little feathers.

It's pancake day (already a general theme of food seems to be emerging on this page!) so that's all I've eaten this evening. Pancakes.Fantastic! I've not had a lot of time to do much work recently but the other day I was inspired by another kind of food. I think the illustration above makes it pretty clear which kind.

Also my friend recently lent me the first series of Gossip Girl, so I'm having to really resist the urge to sign off xoxo... oh I think I just did!

OK so here's my first post and I'm afraid at the moment I'm destroying a packet of chocolate hobnobs whilst struggling to think of something to say so I'll start with a bit about me. I graduated this summer with a first in printed textile design from Loughborough Uni and am currently trying to find my niche in the world. 

I like creating beautiful work but often with a tongue in cheek humorous message, something to make you stop and think, and hopefully smile! In two weeks I'll be moving into a studio space where i can start getting back into creating so i'll keep you posted when i do.
