Well, it's a new year and I'm feeling good, I hope you are too! Why am I in a good mood? I've been thinking and I put it down to: A break in the rainy weather (the sun is shining even if it's cold out there!) I'm a big fan of starting something new and… Continue reading Happy new year!

A few logos and some curly pasta…
I didn't realise how important logos were or really think about them much; until I had a go at designing my own a few years ago. And when a couple of friends were looking for logos for their small businesses I offered to help them out - it's lovely to have a bit of a project to… Continue reading A few logos and some curly pasta…
A little machine embroidery lesson…
I love drawing but always feel as though I should take up painting or go back to screen printing or something to bring my work to life and give it colour and depth. The only problem is I think I'm a bit too lazy to get the paints out and I don't really have a space dedicated… Continue reading A little machine embroidery lesson…
Christmas, what Christmas?!…
I don't know about you but I feel as though Christmas was a life time ago, or was it all just a dream?! Not a bad thing I guess; good to get on with a new year and all that. I don't have any new year resolutions as such but I do have plenty of… Continue reading Christmas, what Christmas?!…
Lovely fresh pasta!
If you live in Maidenhead you'll probably know 'Palmieris', the lovely Italian cafe on Furze Platt Road. It's well known for its yummy fresh pasta and if you're a mum like me you are bound to have met friends there for coffee. Well, I was recently given the opportunity to do some small drawings for Palmieris new… Continue reading Lovely fresh pasta!
Foxgloves in print…
Last weekend I attended a screen printing course at the London Print Studio in West London. I've been wanting to have a go at printing some of my drawings for a while now, just to be more 'arty' really; rather than 'cheating' and printing everything through PhotoShop. I decided to try and print my foxgloves drawing… Continue reading Foxgloves in print…
Happy father’s day!
Last week I was asked to draw a picture of a 1971 VW Karmann Ghia car for a father's day present. It's a beautiful classic car and I thought it would look best if I drew it in ink first and then coloured it in PhotoShop. So this is the first drawing I have officially… Continue reading Happy father’s day!
Something new…
Okay, last night, unlike most nights when I go to sleep as soon as my head hits the pillow, I really struggled to switch off. My head was buzzing. Firstly, because I just watched the brilliant Great British Sewing Bee - and then promptly booked myself on a course led by Tilly Walnes from tilly… Continue reading Something new…
Let’s get creative…
I would love to say I do lots of creative activities with my kids in the school holidays but.... well, I don't know about anyone else, I just find it hard to be creative when there is any kind of chaos around. I did have a go at portrait drawing with my youngest over Easter… Continue reading Let’s get creative…
gilhoolie house pictures gallery…
A lot of these drawings were completed before Christmas, and were bought as presents so I couldn't publish them on here until now. There's a few older ones thrown in too, can you spot my house?!
