Put a Palm Tree on it

Hot on the heels of my latest fabric arrivals, I managed to whip up a couple of new cushion designs too!

Thanks so much for the wonderful response to the new fabrics. I seriously absolutely adore coming up with new designs, and waiting for the first samples to arrive.

It's just like Christmas when I get to open the packages of fabric. It seems that the very handsome young Fedex man and I are getting rather well acquainted (and if you buy more fabric, I get to order more fabric, if you get my drift.... hint hint).

I love the texture of this cotton linen blend. It really makes the colour pop!

Desert Island Dreaming and Test Pattern are both now ready and waiting in the shop.



This week I'm also beginning Module 2 of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design. I'm hoping to be able to share a few things on the blog along the way (without sharing course content of course). 

I have a few appointments over the next couple of days, so I think I'll have some catching up to do on the weekend! That's the great thing about online study.

I'd like to go and live on a Desert Island

Just for a little while...

I think it'd be fun.

Peace and quiet. Not a care in the world (well, except for sandrash, sunburn, and hunger).

You can find your own little piece of island paradise right here....

In other news today, unfortunately I didn't make it through to the final of the Cosmo Fun Fearless Female Awards.

The three finalists in my category (blogging) are:

Sara from Harper and Harley (fashion blog)
Nicole from Gary Pepper Vintage (fashion blog)
Katie from What Katie Ate (food blog)

I'd like to wish them all the best of luck.

It was lots of fun to be nominated, and I want to give a huge thankyou to each and every person who took the time to vote!
