Pattern development

I just wanted to show you a pattern taken from 

some doodles in my sketch book..

This particular pattern is not finished yet ...

I still have to tweek the arrangement & 

Im not happy with the colours...watch this space!

Doodle update..

All of my pattern designs start with a doodle in my 

sketch book & I nearly always draw flowers... 

Apparently emotional people who want harmony and love 

tend to draw things with circular or rounded shapes, 

or symbols of love and femininity (circles, spirals, suns, flowers, 

hearts, faces, lips) so its nice to know my patterns 

are filled with harmony and love :) 

Here are some of my latest doodles which eventually 

I'll turn into finished patterns..

Interior Trends 7

My Favourite 10 

Trends of 2016 ..

Copper Colours 

(I love this phone from Oliver Bonas)

Cage Lamp Shades

I love these & I have them in black with Edison Bulbs 

which come in different shapes & sizes..

Picture Gallery Wall

These look great! & you don't have to just display pictures, 

I've seen displays with stags heads, plates, wooden letters etc..

Monochrome

I have always been a fan of black & white I think it can look so classy!

Geo patterns

I love that so many patterns can sit together & look great!

Hanging plants

Botanicals

Im not so good with looking after plants but I love the leafy fabric designs.

Patterned Floor Tiles

I've seen lots of different floor tiles but these are my faves 
& look great in a bathroom

Pineapples

I first saw these in Bali & bought painted wooden ones for our Bathroom..
I've also got a little one in copper...I just love em! :)

cactus

These are my kinda plant! as they don't need much water 

& they look after themselves (sort of!) I was never a fan of Cactus 

but I've warmed to them since seeing them displayed in beautiful painted pots.
Now I am the proud owner of 3 of them! :)

Life's A Beach

Last year I was working on a Summer collection for 

Baylis & Harding & now I can finally share it with you! 

I enjoyed working on this brief & I still get excited 

when I see the final products in the shops..

Summery Ideas

At last the sun was shining over the weekend & like many 

other people, I headed to B&Q for lots of gardening goodies! 

I'll admit I'm not green fingered at all & I don't have a lot 

of spare time, so a few plant pots with Geraniums & Petunias 

are just the job to make the garden look pretty. 

We have a summer house which is quite cute,  

so of course I'll be dressing it up in pretty fairy lights 

bunting & lanterns to create a that little tranquil 

area of the garden to sit & relax on a summers evening.

Pinterest is great for getting ideas & inspiration 

for more or less anything! here's some quick & easy

 ideas to make your garden look pretty..

I'm all for 'quick and easy' ideas & recycling bottles 

& tins to display your plants or flowers in is a fab idea!

 & they look great painted!

I bought some of these pompoms from Inspirations in Bromborough in Wirral, 

They also have coloured lanterns - can't wait to put them up

I love this idea! It may not be quick but it looks easy enough

old tyres wrapped in rope to make cute little outside seats

This look quite easy to knock together! ..

Using old wooden pallet to display plant & herbs

Pink is my favourite colour!
