Moving onto fabric...
Continuing on the product path, I've been experimenting recently with getting my illustrations onto fabric. It's something I've been keen to do for ages as there's something about creating a tactility and use to my work which excites me more and more. I'm working on ideas already for my Etsy shop and am now in collaboration with a great friend of mine who is a master sewer too so watch this space :)
Expanding ventures...
I'm back! And it's been too long.... In my head I wanted to update this feed weekly, in reality life proceeded and I never quite got round to sharing all I've been up to so far! Anyway....
News this year, after a cold hermit stint in Canada I'm back in the Uk and on the go with various projects! My lovely Olivia has just started school (Jeez where did that time go?) and this year I hope to be even more creative and hopefully more collaborative too!

Etsy Crafts
Here they are, the first of my downloadable items for Etsy! First up The Origami Dog set. I've been making these for my daughter for a while. They're super simple to fold and I've added a little 'To and From' on the back so pop them in the post and make someone smile :)

Shopping déco : Illustrations pour chambres d’enfants |
Lovely to be in the line up on Etsy Québec this week on blog post by artist Marika Lemay. I am new to etsy this year and so value any opportunities for my work to be seen by others as well as a chance to discover some great local talent myself! I have been quite busy with other projects but am keen to add more to my shop. Over the coming year my plan is to develop some digital downloadable items to go alongside my prints and maybe even some 3D pieces... I'm inspired :) What would you like to see available to buy at PetitRigolo? I would love to hear from you!
La Garderie
My daughter started at a nursery not long ago here. Its a really sweet place and last week I felt inspired to produce this little illustration. Being in Quebec obviously we're surrounded by French and at the Garderie there's lots of new little words for her to learn and people to meet. It's supercute!
My Etsy Shop
My work is now available for you to buy. PetitRigolo (little fun) has a selection of prints featuring cute characters from my sketchbook!

Montreal
So here I am in Canada! My husbands' work brings us here for a new adventure. It was a crazy 2015 back in the Uk where being knee deep in dust and tools took precedence for a while as we took upon the challenge of renovated our house bare handedly. All that whilst simultaneously growing more octopus hands to catch up with our ever enchanting little miss Olivia, now bumbling around like a bee on speed! At 3 years old she's inspiring me more than ever though and I've started sketching her up into a little character recently so perhaps this year will be the year she jumps into a book of my own!... Aside from that I'm working on a new 'How to draw' series with Usborne, so looking forward to sharing some of that with you later on.
Dolls House Book
My latest book 'First Colouring Book Doll's House' is now out. Not that dissimilar to my previous colouring books but a little more simple and sweet in its nature. Delighted to say this is my first book for Usborne that features stickers too which made it all that more exciting to see in print :)

More animal fun!
Two new illustrations this week. Happy mothers day mum! I took inspiration from another one of our school runs I do with little Liv! She's so cute and loves being high up on my shoulders when we walk back up the path.

| Liv calls these foxes but initially they were intended as squirrels. Take them as you wish :) |
And this illustration I did for my friend Sandra's babyshower. She's German, likes football and son number one likes lions so I couldn't resist to put it all together into this print for the new baby!
And then there were 3!
Valentines day certainly changes when you have kids...
but the love keeps on growing! Have a lovely day peops :)
School Run
A little something from my sketchbook this week. My daughter's just started nursery school and it's a pleasant short walk from home. She's fascinated by all the noises around her; birds, chainsaws, cars. You name it we have to stop and identify each one! :)
