I designed these two prints for a collection called Pool Party for Makower UK. They look great as little zipper purses - the perfect summer essential and great for keeping everything safe pool-side.

She sells seashells
My seashell design looks great as a wallpaper print! I paired it with a deep blue sofa and it looks so inviting. It would be the perfect print for a beach house vibe.

Coral decor
I recently designed this coral print for my Spoonflower shop. I've combined pretty coral shapes with delicate seaweed and have included shoals of mini fish swimming amongst them.

Japanese obi clutch bag
The obi is the 'belt' that goes around the kimono and they often come in brightly woven fabrics with bold design motifs. Their sturdy fabric and stunning designs mean they are perfect for making into clutch bags.

Sewing Love
This week's Spoonflower design challenge is called 'Home Hobbies'. My home hobby and my work both involve sewing and so I naturally had to do a sewing design for this challenge. I fell very lucky to work at something that I also enjoy.
In this design I've used a colour palette of red, orange, blue and pink and have included sewing items such as scissors, thread and pins as well as the obligatory mug of tea and a few biscuits to keep me going.

Folk fantastic
I do love a folk print and this one comes in a fabulously bright colour palette. This folk print cotton pouch is perfect for using as a pencil case or as a cosmetic bag or gadget pouch.

Summer style
The weather is slowly warming up and it's the perfect time to start planning your summer style. I created this bright outfit to compliment the red cotton kimono clutch bag in my Etsy store. The yellow of the skirt and blue of the top were picked out from accent colours in the bag.

Urban garden
April 22nd is Earth Day and for the whole of April a selection of artists have decided to host an art challenge which is themed Eco Art Challenge. It aims to spark awareness about environmental subjects, with a different theme each week. This week's prompt is 'Urban Garden' and I decided to create a selection of gardening items from wellies and trowels to seed packets and vegetables.

Red lips
I often participate in drawing challenges set by some amazing illustrators. It's a great way to challenge my creativity and try something new. Today's prompt for @thetuesdaycollective is 'Red Lips' and I created this funky 1980s Debbie Harry-inspired woman with a choppy peroxide blonde bob and a cheeky glint in her eye. I've also created a version with black hair. Which one do you prefer?!

Garden party
The latest Spoonflower Design Challenge is called 'Garden Party' and I decided to create a design that encompasses a quintessential English garden party with pretty crockery and cucumber sandwiches with strawberries and cream. Which is your favourite dish?!
