Bethany and Neil tie the knot...







I've not blogged for quite a while because things have been pretty hectic! But now that I'm all moved back to Leeds I've got chance to show you what I've been up to! Last weekend my two good friends Beth and Neil tied the knot and they asked if I would design their table plan. I was over the moon to be involved in their special day and designed a floral seating plan as well as an illustration of the two of them to sit next to the wedding cake. They loved both and it was a truly special day had by all.

Ceramics fun...

I was once quoted as saying, "3D! Why would I ever need that!" on my foundation course. However, it has come back to bite me in the bum as I love making 3D artefacts these days. I recently had an induction into the wonderful ceramics workshop at Uni and loved every minute of it. Here are my labours of love!

Miranda Gore Browne...



My sister recently bought me Miranda Gore Browne's new book 'Biscuits' and it is fab! I got up bright and early yesterday morning and got straight in the kitchen to make her coconut thumb biscuits (the jam was replaced with a chocolate button). I would definitely recommend the book for any baking or biscuit lovers!

Yorkshire born and bred...

Just playing around with some hand drawn type at the mo. Thought I'd illustrate some well known Yorkshire phrases.

Race for Life T-Shirt Competition...


I am so excited to announce that I have won the Race for Life T-Shirt Competition. It is such an honour and privilege to think women across the UK will be wearing my design this summer. Race for Life is such a worthy cause and it is so good to be able to support them in another way. Still waiting to see how the design process is going at R4L HQ but I look forward to seeing my design brought to life!

Madeira Threads Competition...


I recently entered the Madeira Threads annual competition. This year's theme was 'Glimpses of Blighty.' You had to produce either a hand or machine embroidered piece based on this subject. Although I didn't win it was still pretty awesome seeing it showcased in the exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham.
