This blog was created when I was a student and I feel I want to move on from here. I will still keep creating though.

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">At last I have used the English Linen I had printed a while ago to complete some cushions ready for sale.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Using old cotton and linen bed sheets which are no longer suitable for beds, I have made the lovely fabric into these cushions. I've added highlights of my Hellebore prints to the cushions in bands of pattern and appliqué hearts.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I took the photographs today in the sunshine, using the beautiful village green I live beside as my backdrop. These are one off cushions and pieces of art.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">In love with these colours!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The hares are in natural linen, and the rest just scraps of cotton. All are bonda webbed onto the recycled bed sheet fabric, and then machine embroidered.I really must make a box to photograph my work in, sorry about the dark shadows!</span></div>

Now though I've a little time to post a blog from my sick bed, the old body has decided to let me down and give in to a bout of Pleurisy. Nothing has ever slowed me down like this before. I'm determined to beat it though and hope to be back at work to teach a workshop I have arranged on the following book I made just before Christmas from the 'Sweet Christmas' Tilda paper stack.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sorry about the shadow at the bottom of the picture, this is the front cover. A piece of the Sweet Christmas Tilda paper and one of the pop out die cuts too. I've added the word Noel by choosing some of the Woodware chipboard letters which I have stamped with Broken China distress ink using an old wooden snowflake stamp. Then I added a little Worn Lipstick distress ink to the sides of the letters and glossed them up with Anita's 3D Clear Gloss.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've also added some sparkly flowers from Papermania's capsule collection and some flowers from Woodware. But if you wanted to make a similar book I would always advise you to add some elements of your own because if you try to copy something it never looks the same.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />This is the inside cover. As mentioned in the title of this blog this is an envelope book, made from, yes you guessed, envelopes. Because it's a Christmas book, I decided to use some dark red envelopes which were in my stash.<br />I loved this heart die from X Cut and chose to use it for the hinge because it is so lacy and wouldn't obscure items tucked under it.<br />I've cut off the sides to make pockets in this book and inserted some Papermania note cards I had bought a while ago, they went with the theme both in colour and content.<br />The pages of this book are made up of papers and die cuts from the Tilda 'Sweet Christmas stash, other than a couple of pages where I needed to use some of my own papers to bulk them out. Enjoy.<br /></span></td></tr>

With a little excitement and satisfaction in the knowledge that as a full time employed, mature student I have achieved a lot in two years. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After all it was a last minute decision to embark on this adventure in the first place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Not everything has been documented in this blog, and on reflection I wish I had included more, but my blog started after I had created my first sketch book and the resulting designs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So not yet finished but well on the way here are some of the design developments from those sketch book pages seen in a previous post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I took a turn into the art of painting a stretched piece of paper with Procion dye. We were shown this technique in a workshop by Libby Lagun quite a few weeks ago. My piece developed while in the workshop is featured below.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLh_Z5inzh0lBHdAV-yX1kN5XZPEXx1nggwyhMWy8O0oAU_cQO-vb0A7PamA-nylUqSxYhyh_qkPQLQhie5cJoRZ9RTxjc37Mumlzv4wL_rm6JCyli0J959_2xFyXXUF1EV0mcFXvIZZA/s1600/Garrya+pink+cropped.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLh_Z5inzh0lBHdAV-yX1kN5XZPEXx1nggwyhMWy8O0oAU_cQO-vb0A7PamA-nylUqSxYhyh_qkPQLQhie5cJoRZ9RTxjc37Mumlzv4wL_rm6JCyli0J959_2xFyXXUF1EV0mcFXvIZZA/s320/Garrya+pink+cropped.jpg" width="293" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This was created from that stretched piece of paper. A quick two minute drawing of a flower from the silk tassle bush, was scanned and developed into a design in Photoshop. This was then photo</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">copied and printed down onto my prepared background by using screen print cleaner, a sheet of acetate and an old biro.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When this was done I went into the design with household bleach to remove colour. This has resulted in the turquoise areas. I then coloured more areas with a white pencil.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I loved the result so much I just kept doing more, as you can see below. Once the initial design or painting was done, I took them into Photoshop and created lots of repeats.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I've moved on from that now and am working with more of my drawings from my sketch book pages.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Today I'm happy to tell you all that on Saturday I called in at Made in Jesmond to discuss merchandising our produce in the shop ready for our opening night of Friday the 19th April.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I was pleased to collect monies owed to me from two of my Aprons being sold. This is great news as I haven't been successful in finding an ideal work placement. Due to me working full time, living in Carlisle etc. During the Summer break from college I decided to run up some of my stash of fabrics into aprons and bags, with a view to selling them.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The next exciting news is that Warwick Tower will be opening on 27th April, this is a new venture set up by A Vintage Affair from Carlisle. It will be a shop selling Vintage and Retro items, originals often made by people like me. I am taking a small space for the time being and will be selling items I have made like my tea cosies and aprons. Plus a few vintage things I have bought in the past, which now need to move on to another good home.</span></div>

Is it because I'm a Libra that I can never decide? Or just my sheer lack of confidence in my work? Whatever it is I just know this is my last chance to prove my worth and design something that will take my creative career where it is meant to go.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I thinkI want to create interiors fabric and wallpaper, in a linear botanical design with a twist. I love doorways as well as plants so would like to combine the two.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have done my sketches and will share some of my sketch book pages with you today.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I love snowdrops, here I have sketched them in different media and used continuous line, and my left hand.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The tracing paper laid over this background of splashed on watercolour is making this look quite blurred. I like this composition and intend to develop the drawing further.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">We did a drawing workshop with Libby Lagun the other week in the studio which I really enjoyed. Here is one of my pages of quick sketches using the usual left hand, blind and continuous line. We went on to choose one of the drawings to develop in Photoshop and it was the first time I had used the method above using the Procion dye and bleach.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I bought this Helleborus from work just to draw,I loved it so much. I will use this drawing in my further developments.</span> <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The Iris drawings below were done while I was standing in my garden last summer. I wanted to include these as in the Spring the plant material is limited.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A group of us went to the Discovery Museum in Newcastle to the archives in the basement to draw. I will use some of these I hope in my final developments.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sorry the photography is not brilliant as these were taken with my phone. I have started to do some development with painting Procion dye onto stretched paper and bleaching parts out, you cna then add colour with any medium you like.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well I must dash now I'm off to do the late shift at work.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is my first Tea-cosie and my favourite.They are all made from </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">old bed sheets which have become worn</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">in the middle. This is an ideal way to</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">recycle the edges.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I feel this design is quite Art Nouveau</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This is my coffee pot cosie and</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">my least favorite of the three.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I do like the way the back of this one has come out below.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">On reflection I would make my</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">cosies differently, I recently went to a fantastic shop in Glasgow which sells fabrics and notions, called Mandors. It was amazing and I will be going back! I found some wadding there which is for making oven gloves (now there's a thing) I think I will get a better finish with this. I will also sew the lining to the outer in a different way to get a better finish on the bottom.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I will be putting all three cosies into Made in Jesmond and don't know what I will be putting into my new venture as part of Warwick Tower in Carlisle. If I haven't mentioned before, I have decided to rent a space in a building on Warwick Road, which will be called Warwick Tower and will be sharing it with Stuart and Sara the organisers and lots of other like minded people. We will be selling goods we have made alongside vintage and antique goodies. There is a room in the building which can be rented out to hold workshops. I would quite like to hold a workshop when I have finished at college. I will be writing my next blog sooner rather than later as I'm having a great time with my last module. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We have recently been working on designs for a shop called Made in Jesmond, which is in Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne. It sells vintage goods and items created by individuals using vintage or recycled materials.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">As part of this module we also have to create a brand for the items we are producing.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am using the name of this blog as my brand name and this is my logo.</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have found a company who will use my image and text to create two rubber craft stamps. I will use the stamps with coloured inks to make my garment tags and stamp gift bags too.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I chose to find my inspiration, and colour story from the 1950's. The trend I am using is Retro Botanicals, I always seem to fall back on the plants I love for my designs.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I also wanted to recycle or upcycle old fabrics and clothes which I can never bear to throw out. For a long time I have had strips of fabric wound into balls in our loft ready to make a hooky mat and thought it the ideal thing to make for Made in Jesmond, it sits with their ethos so nicely.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">From my drawings of an Allium seed head I have created a design, and had to crack on with it quickly as we don't have much time. Hooky mats take forever to make. Here are some photographs of the progression.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We are much further on with it now but still a long way to go.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We had a meeting with Yve from Made in Jesmond and I got the impression she wasn't sure how the mat would go, and when quizzed she admitted that Tea cosies and Coffee pot covers were what she had been asked for. I have considered making lap top covers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">So I have been continuing my development and have created these applique designs today, just trying out some styles and techniques. By bed time though I intend to have a pot cover of some description made!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Life has been pretty hectic and the time has come to catch up and add the work I have done this college year.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The work below was our first module after the Summer break.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We had to create garment fronts. I have chosen to use the trend, Subterranean.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">While on my holidays on Kos I loved the pebbles on the beach and used some of the drawings I did of these pebbles. I also had taken photographs of the stratum in the rocks while on holiday in Cornwall a couple of years ago. These were combined with drawings I did of fossils shaped like a heart.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">This is my mood board below, using fashion photographs, pictures from magazines, my own photographs and pebble drawings.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Well Christmas has been and gone, I am looking forward to the New Year. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">For Christmas this year I decided to give my husband a drawing of our dog Rowan, as she probably won't be with us next Christmas. He has been pestering me to do a drawing or painting of her for him for ages and I haven't the time at the moment.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Where I work I knew there was someone who could probably do the job so much better than me, and she had just come back from a stint in Australia for Christmas.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I didn't give poor Sophie much notice. She asked for a photograph and I sent her this one which I took years ago, it is a typical image of Rowan. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Hi, I've been down to that craft shop again and this time I bought a Spellbinders shapeabilities set of rubber stamps and cut and emboss dies. What fun I have had! I have created this card by inking up a stamp with the Tim Holtz distress ink pens and stamping them onto watercolour type card. I've then cut and embossed them. I have also embossed a flower onto the matting layer which is a cardstock that feels like suede. The die cuts are applied using foam pads. I like to do a bit of squiggling around the edges and this time used the same pens as the stamp ink.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I hope you like what I have created.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I have had my eye on a die cutting machine at work for a while and decided to buy one and do some card making for a change, I haven't really done any since last Christmas. The Big Shot by Sizzix is quite an addictive piece of kit.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am also trying to do some of my work placement for my college course in crafting of some sort, be it designing rubber stamps or background papers, also creating cards and scrap-book pages. Here are some of the cards I have made in the few days since I bought my Big Shot.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQSlKQ39Wjt8pnbr_H4Q7EdzdkxkLdQJcAPnh-2RUZvLDRStWwe3PQmlAEIJp_CP7D1x4doIkD5Q8IUlxhTi0W-jO8Fl0juCHgvybZWUmGP-RsJvAO8KMRs_fikmtZtlWmc8KyEX1dMQ/s1600/Reindeer+1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmQSlKQ39Wjt8pnbr_H4Q7EdzdkxkLdQJcAPnh-2RUZvLDRStWwe3PQmlAEIJp_CP7D1x4doIkD5Q8IUlxhTi0W-jO8Fl0juCHgvybZWUmGP-RsJvAO8KMRs_fikmtZtlWmc8KyEX1dMQ/s320/Reindeer+1" width="320" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">For this one I have used a reindeer embossing folder, with some Core'dinations, ColourCore Cardstock, a die cut heart using some Christmas paper from a few years ago with a bow.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYa93rsW72EuHl5arrDFS3ev68JV0DStzMPgI5lB9TnUPEVIJBXBOTOEvJhXsFl6gHVwqIk3bBtUY35j3U9Zq5Vy6Bx3SOMtjw3JQHEo85GCAM_LPAD36iiUwjVRZD8ck8wxkLXib92s/s1600/Reindeer+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtYa93rsW72EuHl5arrDFS3ev68JV0DStzMPgI5lB9TnUPEVIJBXBOTOEvJhXsFl6gHVwqIk3bBtUY35j3U9Zq5Vy6Bx3SOMtjw3JQHEo85GCAM_LPAD36iiUwjVRZD8ck8wxkLXib92s/s320/Reindeer+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Again I have used the reindeer embossing folder, with die cut card heart and a heart I die cut from some cotton check fabric I've been using for my aprons and bags, with a button from one of my old work shirts. I've finished the whole thing off with a fine liner pen.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCAVESCD9GKmb-bDealbN6-rA66RpoBPwVa8y58gguQkhnr_OL_PUZYI-CAUApz6d7MtdUaM1LcWwC9anGEkcwcYl8bZ-lx1-IckyWChKVFxrEfUMF8T7w9UssuGlxU-PWvMX7Fx95c4/s1600/Reindeer+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdCAVESCD9GKmb-bDealbN6-rA66RpoBPwVa8y58gguQkhnr_OL_PUZYI-CAUApz6d7MtdUaM1LcWwC9anGEkcwcYl8bZ-lx1-IckyWChKVFxrEfUMF8T7w9UssuGlxU-PWvMX7Fx95c4/s320/Reindeer+card.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Some old bits and bobs have been use from my Christmas box, I love the velum paper with glittery images on it, velum is so hard to stick down without seeing the glue through. I decided to stitch it and think it gives a real homespun look.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72O9qy0WfEunux3ZH5g87yDUoLkVE3z_ZTrxv8KE8oADixJ9HQrHT1iLPca39oI96bWPJIsxIlQTdFau0yRKNhZg0eG1eA098FmjtkxwQ7Zt2NrZgJfebx0d9KEX_BIqECRJr1-5eRro/s1600/Ice+flower+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg72O9qy0WfEunux3ZH5g87yDUoLkVE3z_ZTrxv8KE8oADixJ9HQrHT1iLPca39oI96bWPJIsxIlQTdFau0yRKNhZg0eG1eA098FmjtkxwQ7Zt2NrZgJfebx0d9KEX_BIqECRJr1-5eRro/s320/Ice+flower+card.jpg" width="310" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I'm a big Tim Holtz fan and have bought his tattered rose die, again I've used the velum and layered the rose up, finishing and hiding the centre with a Do Crafts flower and some Stickles.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I cut out a few bits and took the whole bundle down to visit my Mother. I did a workshop with her and we both really enjoyed it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I will post my aprons and bags at a later date, thinking of creating a Pop up Shop for Christmas, maybe with some of my peers if they are interested.</span></div>

We went up to Kirkudbright the other weekend and I visited every art gallery I could find in this lovely Scottish Border town. There was an expo., in the town hall and I went into the first room downstairs to discover an exhibition of local artists. I got talking to Joanna McLeman Gisbey an artist maker about my college course and my uncertainty about where my work would take me.</span><div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">She suggested I have a go at Japanese wood engraving and look at Angie Lewin's work in another gallery in the town.</span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Unknown to me at the time I had already seen and admired Angie's work, took another look and this is what I discovered.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Like Angie I have also trained in Horticulture, in fact I still work with plants. I just want to capture them all in some form of art, maybe this is the way I should go. I love plants and want to re-create them in stitch, print or art of some description.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I chose Boutique Hotel as my brief and struggled a little with a trend to go with and in the end didn't go with it.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I did some drawings of plants and some backgrounds, then decided I'd like to put some of my landscape drawings into the design too. This is what Kate saw when she had a meeting with us all to discuss what she liked.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Here I have used a combination of that repeat background and some of my other images. I really liked this design and the one below it. Kate didn't feel they were Kate Usher Studio style. and would I try using my image above intertwined and in green, and a topairy design too.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I feel topairy has been done to death but she seemed to like it, I much preferred the paper with background as I like French and Shabby Chic style personally. I imagine all of my designs could be used as wrapping paper and giftware as well as wallpaper.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Hi again I'm sure I have just died and gone to heaven, somebody pinch me! This blog has everything in it this girl could ever want. Take a peek at my reading list and have a look. It's called 'a thing for roses'. Here is a taster.</span><br />

I'll have to dream on. I would love to be able to pop along to a market like this in the North of England, any body out there seen anything like this in the UK other than at Petersham Nurseries in Surrey?<br />It reminds me so much of the florist shops in France and Belgium.</span></td></tr>
