It's BUSINESS TIME!

Howdy! Hope you're smiling ;-)

Its the beginning of a brand new week which means NEW opportunities and more chances of GOOD THINGS happening (I don't know how these things will happen but I know if I keep trying and working hard enough I'll make it in the end!!).

I'm so happy that I've now gone down to part time hours; it means I can spend dedicated time every week on my artwork but still enjoy the social aspect of working with others, being involved in something bigger than just myself whilst having my mortgage covered; peace of mind AND my own creativity, best of both worlds really! Woo!

I was very excited last week as I sent quite a few bits to print, more on that when they're back from the printers but for now here is my latest range of Wedding Stationery for you to enjoy!

Hey all!

Hope things are sun-shiney out there in Blogland!! :-) I've been REALLY BUSY working away, knuckling down and generally thinking about stuff NIGHT AND DAY with a clear goal in mind of making this business a success. I feel very positive (despite some set backs...) so here goes!

Wishes coming true...

Hello lovely Readers out there in Blogland!

How are things? Hopefully things are happy and well for you!

I really feel that my hard work is paying off and that some of my dreams and wishes are coming true. Firstly, I've just had a major order FINALLY go through (which I've been wanting to tell you about for ages) with Cards Galore, 20 of my designs will be exclusively sold in over 50 stores in London and then the surrounding areas if successful enough! Here's hoping! Hooray!

Secondly I've been offered permanent part time work at McLaren which means I can still pay my mortgage but also have dedicated time each week (that I'm not going to feel guilty about taking) to spend on building up my illustration and design business (new website still being designed!).

And finally, THB and I have been very grown up and after much planning... HAVE BOUGHT A HOUSE TOGETHER! It's still in the early stages but I am understandably, very excited about it! WOO!

New design for you, hope all your wishes come truuuueeee!!

grrrrrrr

Howdy doody!

I had just written a lovely blurb about things that have been going on but the internet went crazy and I've lost it all :-( BOOOOOO! So here is just a nice pic instead to make you smile:

Until next time! Au Revoir! s-a xxx

New Supplier :-)

HAPPY WEDNESDAY EVERYONE!

I am quite tired but VERY JOLLY as I have been working extra hard to fit in illustration things around my already manic life. Last week I managed to tick off all the things I had on my TO DO LIST and it seems this week will be no different; YESSSSSS. I feel a little like I don't have much down time but it's worth it for the satisfaction of being on top with everythign else :-)

I've been revisiting a lot of work recently and trying to make it more sellable... in short, it means turning my everyday designs into designs for occasions; I need to think smarter and act smarter! With regards to acting smarter, I've found a new supplier and I'm (so far) incredibly impressed! I can't wait for my first batch of NEW PRINTS to come back from them! YIP YIP YIP!

Re-visited vegetables design:

Have a superb rest of the week! xxxx



270th Post!

Hey all :-)

What a week it has been! I feel like I've been able to tick all the boxes in terms of what I always hope to achieve each week and so often fail to do. I've exercised, cooked, cleaned, seen family, caught up with several friends, celebrated 22 months of being together with THB, done some drawing, re-worked a drawing (see below!), found a new printer, sold lots of cards to a new supplier (!!! yippeeeeee!!!) AND secured some Graphic Design work! All on top of a busy week at actual work. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to fit it all in...

For all the new babies out there (including a special little man, Tyler, who I will be meeting on Sunday for the very first time!!!):

Hope you all have a lovely weekend :-) xxxx
