My favourite seasons are definitely Autumn and Spring but if I had to choose between the two I guess it would have to be Spring, with the last remnants of Winter fading away as the days gradually get longer and the sun's rays get warmer. My favourite flowers are tulips too; I love their sleek… Continue reading Dreaming of spring…

gilhoolie has set up shop!
I have finally set up my gilhoolie shop on folksy! HOORAY! You'll find a few gilhoolie things on there so far but I'm still working on adding some more including my bags, bunting and the rest of my lampshades. So please come back in a week or so and have another look (don't worry, I'm… Continue reading gilhoolie has set up shop!
Promises, promises…
I had lots of fun a couple of weeks ago taking photos of my friend's beautiful little girl sitting on a gilhoolie beanbag and pouffe (with some bunting in the background). Thank you so much Sandi, I may ask again if that's okay! I know the model looks gorgeous but I'm also hoping these photos… Continue reading Promises, promises…
Models required!
This week I'm putting the finishing touches to things and I thought I'd practice arranging all my creations ready for Thursday evening. I put this display together in half an hour before I rushed off on the school run, but you get the idea! As you can see, I got the bunting bug last week… Continue reading Models required!

A quick update…
Just thought I should put a quick update on gilhoolie as I haven't blogged for ages, I'm still here! The last couple of weeks have been spent doing lots of screen-printing (some prints more successful than others, arghhh) as well as lots of behind the scenes preparation for getting started on selling things. I'm hoping… Continue reading A quick update…
Decisions, decisions…
I only have three silk screens, so I need to decide which three of my designs to start printing onto fabric. It’s not easy! To help me make a decision, I've been using CorelDraw to add my designs to some pictures of lampshades and my Moroccan pouffe. It helps me to visualise how they will… Continue reading Decisions, decisions…
Simple pleasures…
I really like the shape and style of traditional Moroccan pouffes and thought it would be good to have a go at making one. These will eventually be made from my screen-printed designs but I thought I'd practice on bought fabrics first. This one is made out of three fabrics: John Lewis Chevron in sulphur,… Continue reading Simple pleasures…
