We’ll be staying with old friends in Venice Beach, meeting interesting people, museums and architecture, eating yummy food and visiting amazing stores. Hard to believe, but true!!

Colour Book: Liquorice Mint
That’s a photo of my sitting room, you know! I took while preparing the Liquorice Mint colour board in our Colour Book, and liked it so much that I left it exactly the same after the shoot (give or take a picturesquely placed cat or two). I’m probably not allowed to have favourites, but you can …

This year, I really had a good time working on the Colour Book, where I created five distinct looks that showcase the Diggi Dot collection, and also shows how it integrates with the existing Skinny laMinx prints.

Making Friday – Block Printing
While teaching block printing on the Ritchie Ace Camp last year (and again in October this year), I’ve been using carved lino blocks, but I did bring back some super-simple wooden blocks from Jaipur to play with too.

What to do with Yoyogi Park?
The Yoyogi Park fabric collection is available in our Bree Street shop now! I know, I know. I designed it myself, so I shouldn’t be so “wow!” about it, but it’s different seeing it in real life, especially when you start putting it to use.
