Make your own lampshade kits

Happy Tuesday!
I have introduced 'Make your own Lampshade Kits' to my Esty Shop.
They are really easy to make & you can choose your own fabric
to suit your decor. They also make a great gift for someone
who's moved into a new home!

The drum shape shades are available in 2 sizes 30cm & 40cm 
They are ideal for a pendant or table lamp


Soon I will be offering a choice of my fabric designs to be included
in the kit so you can have an original design piece that will compliment your decor.

New Textiles Coming Soon...

Heres a little sneak preview of my patterns that have been printed
onto fabric & made into cushion covers & tea towels
I have lots to do before they are on sale so watch this space..

All my patterns start as doodles & then I develop them on the computer,
here is an example to show you the transition from scribble to surface pattern.









I have 6 designs available to start off with 
which will be applied to different products in the future, 
plus new designs added to my collection.

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! :)
