Fabric sample arrived!

In all my excitement I nearly forgot the lovely little envelope that arrived in my postbox yesterday!  A 20x20cm sample of my first fabric design.  Yay!  I've got so many ideas of what to make with this sample piece - I don't know where to start!  The colours came out perfectly - so I can proudly say it's available for purchase on Spoonflower.

1 yard of fabric looks like this (although you can play around with the pattern, shift it around and make it bigger or smaller when ordering)  Click on the image to be taken to Spoonflower.

New fabric: 'BLOOM'

How super excited am I with my new fabric design! It's based on this piece I did last week

The end result is:

The pattern has turned out perfectly - it even has a bit of an optical illusion thing going on, which is fun - now I just have to design something really great to make with it. If you love the fabric as much as I do, it'll be available to buy from Spoonflower soon- you can preorder on the link above.

Baby playmat

I was really delighted with my first attempt at a little quilt -a baby playmat made with 100% cotton - bright African animals on the front and zebra striped fabric backing. It took me an afternoon to make. Measured 90 X 80cm.

New fabric: SPRINGTIME

One of my favourite paintings from July. I was so happy with this I decided to make it into fabric using Spoonflower. I'll post a pic of the cushion I'm going to make when the sample arrives.

Eye pillows

These eye pillows have removable covers (made in pure silk). The inner is 100% cotton and filled with locally grown organic lavender and linseed.

Perfect for blocking out the light- the eye pillow has a little pressure on the eyes. I've found that if you pop it in the freezer for an hour or so (in a ziplock so it doesn't absorb any smells) and then use it, it does wonders for tension and sinus headaches. I use mine when I have migraines and it really does help a lot.
