a collection, she whispered.

psst...i have been doing this e course and consequently my head is no longer such a messy place! i'm working on a collection of lovely things... original art, cards and fabric patches... and my next picture book. yes a picture book!... a fabric picture book. i'm so excited.

the book is for babies, children and for, well you know... those of us who havn't quite grown up yet. i'm completely excited. so much so that i feel like i'm writing in whispers. hehe ok lets not get carried away!

at the moment i'm collecting inspiration and most importantly i have a plan. x

motherhood and timely dreams

i'm working on new picture book for adults. it's about the experience of new motherhood. and while it comes from me and my journey i hope it rings true to others. 

i will have these originals on display at the makers market in daylesford june 5th and would love to hear any feedback.

i was working on another picture book called 'this messy messy house' but it just wasn't working for me. i wasn't feeling it! i don't think you can force these things and i'm sure it's time will come. until then the idea is safely tucked away xx

this messy messy house

i'm trying to get jasper to sleep! he fights it so much. every time i think he's nearly there i hear a grizzle. so, i am somewhat distracted while writing this. 

i watched an amazing doco called help me love my baby...it breaks down taboos about mother's who find it hard to bond with their babies. quite enlightening...and reassuring to hear someone else say that listening to your own baby scream is like psychological torture!

and, well...i have been working on my second picture book...just a littlie for the grown ups. it's a little bit dirty...! and romantic. i think it will be called this messy messy house.   

that's enough. i don't want to give it away! funnily enough i've been doing lots of tidying lately...cleaned out my pantry. it turns out we'll be okay when armageddon strikes.

oh and i watched another show called the wild gourmets in spain. it has inspired me to cook with simple, fresh flavours. yum x
