Unsurprisingly, there are piles and piles of misprints and seconds here at my studio, and I keep promising to get them into my Etsy shop (I will! Soon!). Every now and again I come up with a slightly useless but kind of pleasing solution for some of them, like this wall hanging I made using …

Moodboard
While I’ve been putting together this retail space of mine, I’ve been trying to work out exactly how one goes about making a unified mood and feeling. It’s had me looking very hard at things, especially at rooms that I feel work well. I have to say that the more I attempt this, the more …

Beyond a dog bowl
I really had imagination failure about those dog bowls, didn’t I ? (see previous post) A few failed experiments with fruit placement, and I just gave right up. But the dog bowls seemed to get my readers’ imaginations racing, evidenced by the wild DIY ideas in my comments section! Now, realistically, I’m not going to …

Enjoying the Details
One of the books I love to re-visit is called Detaljer Hemma , by illustrator Annika Huett and Photographer Ulf Huett Nielsen. The title of the book translates from Swedish as Details at Home, and it documents everyday details in ordinary (well, ordinary Swedish) homes, showing charming, yet determinedly un-styled corners, grouped into themes.

Russian Fairy Tales
Medina has had this beautifully illustrated book in the studio all week. The illustrator is Henry R Martin, and I love the effect to which he puts just three colours, along with the white space of the page, and also the way he frames his illustrations. Most inspiring, Mr Martin!

New tea towels & a new shop
At long last, my new tea towels are ready to roll, and as I’ve been wanting to start a Supermarket Store for a while, I thought I’d launch the store and this new range of tea towels at the same time. So, here they are, all available in my Supermarket online shop. This one is …

Gemma Ray
I think I’ve developed a bit of a girl crush on UK singer Gemma Ray since we saw her playing at a woefully ill-attended gig at the Purple Turtle on Saturday night. I loved the way that the stage was decorated with flowers, and she wore the cutest vintage dress and shoes, but she didn’t …
