flying

I'm working on a new collection of designs at the moment ... its focused on NZ birds ... these are some of my early sketches. I'm getting quite homesick looking through all the beautiful images of New Zealand on flickr especially those from 'go wild'and 'whereisbrent'

love letters

here's some of what I printed on the course in Glasgow

summertime

coming to my website soon ... some of the images of my interior fabrics that are selling through Hemptech in New Zealand and Australia

a wee bit of colour

on a course in dyeing and printing on textiles with Joanna Kinnersly Taylor in Glasgow, Scotland ... a wee pic from the studio

noah's booties

Inspired by the gorgeous wee booties on brooklyntweed I searched out this free pattern from Saartje's knits. These are work in progress shots of course ... but I'm a little worried that I may have created a noah's ark!

round and round

I'm making a brooklyn tweed 'raspy' jersey for my beloved ... endless rounds of knitting ... I now understand why knitting is the new yoga ... I end up totally 'zen'ed out after 20 minutes. The aroha pillow is from native agent a wonderous store in Auckland NZ.

sanquhar gloves

A Scottish friend of mine told me about these gloves that are traditionally made in the village she grew up in of sanquhar ... another project!
