A day of happy news :)

How quickly the weeks go by!

Since my last post I've been enjoying the sunshine, in between bits of sewing, visiting exhibitions and degree shows and starting some work for a couple of new commissions. Better make the most of the great sunny outdoors while I can, as no doubt soon I will be cooped up in my little studio...

Some exciting news!!!

My good friend Yuki spotted my picture book "My Village" in the V&A museum shop, so of course I had to go and have a look. I couldn't believe my eyes! Here they are...

I also found out today through my agents Arena that the very pink Fairy cake packaging I worked on earlier this year for Marks and Spencer is now live! I'll have to go check it out, and sample the cake too! :P

My village

I'm very happy to announce that the picture book I worked on for Gecko Press (NZ) will be available in the UK from the 9th of February!!

I really loved working on this book, which is a collection of nursery rhymes from around the world gathered by Dani Wright. I love seeing the rhymes written in their original language too. It's co-published by Frances Lincoln Children's Books, who I've not had the chance to work with, but have met in the past when I was a fresh-faced graduate about 10 years ago!

Today I am not so fresh-faced, as I am working for a double deadline for next week. I'm putting in a lot of caffeine-fueled hours, staying up till the early hours and going slightly delirious from lack of sleep!
