Garden Days = Happy Days for me! So I'm very excited to introduce a new Fabric Design close to my heart. Inspired by my love of Cottage Gardens, full of the sweetest flowers... silk like Poppies, the bluest of Delphiniums, Cornflowers and wispy pink blooms fluttering in the Summer breeze!</div>

Last Summer I visited <a href="http://www.furzey-gardens.org/">Furzey Gardens</a> back home in the UK. A gorgeous Garden complete with this precious Cottage. </div>

I have dreamt of designing Fabric for a long time and I have been studying <a href="https://makeitindesign.com/design-school/">The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design</a> with this goal in mind (amongst a zillion others). So I'm super excited to share that my very first Fabric Collection is now available!<br />
<br />
I am working in collaboration with Spoonflower that print the most beautiful fabrics. So please join the Party and welcome "Friends for Tea" - a sweet hand illustrated collection of Bunnies enjoying Tea Time together. Available on a range of fabrics and in 4 different colour ways.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just to add to my celebration these designs are also available as Wallpaper and Gift Wrap!<br />

At this time of year every time I step into my garden I discover a new little flower that makes my heart skip a beat! The Bluebells are just starting to open, the pale yellow Primroses are still going (they have flowered all Winter!), the wild Geraniums are filling the air with their beautiful scent. The tiniest but most perfect little flowers are the Forget Me Nots. I get such a thrill to pick a tiny bunch of flowers from my own space to enjoy in my Studio. They looked so beautiful I have pressed a few (I've done this since I was a child) and felt pulled to painting them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I love that absorbed feeling when I paint and hours flutter past as fast as the blink of an eye. Today has been like that, painting without an end goal because I just felt I needed to for my soul when I looked at these flowers.<br />
<br />
I have had such pleasure painting today that I would love you too to share in this Joy, so I think I will turn them into something fun.... another day.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I always love to read your comments, what are you enjoying most in your little patch?</div>

It finally feels that Spring has sprung here in my garden with Blue Tits nesting, Butterflies waking and I even saw this wee little Lamb enter the world and take its first wobbly steps in the field backing onto my garden!<br />

What are your favourite Children's Books, nowadays or in the past? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am always drawn to the illustrations and then the Story. Black Beauty for me combined both.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Talking of books I am busily working on some new Picture Book ideas which I'm very excited about.</div>

Just last week the Sun encouraged me to wander around my little garden and to my delight I discovered all these sweet treasures! Even a lone Snowdrop that I had not planted myself! The birds are busily making nests up high in the Oak Trees, just amazing watching them building it all day long with twigs from the garden that I like to leave for them.<br />

I have had such fun painting & creating this new range called "Sing Me A Love Song". You can choose your favourite colours (Sunshine, Heather or Cinnamon) & with text or not.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now available as Art Prints & a Set of Postcards </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created these as part of the E-Course <a href="http://makeitindesign.com/">The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design</a> that I'm studying. I plan on creating designs to match for Notebooks, Gift Tags and Wrapping Paper. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll add them onto <a href="https://www.moyodirectory.com/bumpkin">my page on The MOYO Directory</a>, fly along there to visit a wonderfully vibrant exciting place full of inspiring designers. </div>

Busy hands and a busy mind as I work on lots of new exciting projects. A new Bear being brought to life in gorgeously silky soft Mohair in a wonderful shade of Teal. Lots of paintings as part of my Course I'm taking for The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design and drawings for a new range of Art Prints. This week has been so dark and rainy, instead of getting down I took inspiration and this wee little mouse came to life with his candle to brighten my days, may he brighten your days too.</div>

She loves to swirl and twirl to any music, but especially loves Christmas Carols. She is wearing her pretty Party outfit made of Vintage Lace and finished with a french pearlescent flower on her fluffy head. Her favourite time of year is Winter when the frost sparkles, but she always forgets to put a warm jacket on, so maybe her new family could remember this!<br />

Standing at just 4" tall hundreds of tiny stitches of love were used to bring her to life. Made of sweet antique style Mohair which I hand dyed in pastel sugar pink. Ultra suede paw pads in a soft cream. Cotter pin jointed in her head and strongly thread jointed in her limbs. Glass Bead eyes. Not suitable for small children due to small parts. She is sweetly lopeared with delicate hand shading on her pink nose and blushed cheeks. <br />

The weather is turning, I can feel Winter's chilly breath but still when the Sun was shining I wrapped up warm and went out to explore. There I was trampling over the ground as I looked down and noticed the amazing star shaped moss right there under my feet. I am sure most people would never ever look but I'm glad I did. Look at the tiny magical world I discovered with miniature Toadstools and Snails! </div>

Apart from these tiny adventures I have been working in my studio from dawn to dusk packing Christmas orders from my <a href="http://bumpkin.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy Shop</a> and painting more Wooden Heart Decorations (ready to share in the next day or so, see my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bumpkin/225039130875816" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>). I have loved painting them and imagining them hanging in your homes as part of your Christmas traditions. </div>

So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered these AMAZING Toadstools on a woodland walk. I have never seen so many all in one go, from the tiniest ones smaller than an acorn to magical red and white ones. I expected to see little doors in them!</div>

As a child I would go for walks in the countryside and be lost in the moment with that excitement of discovering wildlife and flowers, still it is moments like these that make me feel most alive, most relaxed and most... myself. It was a golden early evening and I had been working in my Studio all day on a new Rabbit Ornament Kit (keep reading!) so took myself off for a walk, little did I know who would cross my path!<br />

It must have been a sign that it's time to share a project I have been working on for a while now! A Wool Felt running Rabbit Ornament Pattern - "Dream of Bunnies" is available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/164710963/make-your-own-bunny-ornament-sewing-kit" target="_blank">HERE</a> as a Craft Kit with all you need to make your own. With the evenings getting cooler I love to have craft projects to do snuggled under a blanket, this has been such fun to make. Also available <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/164711445/pdf-pattern-make-your-own-bunny-ornament" target="_blank">HERE</a> as a PDF Pattern.</div>

This first Bunny I made has a pretty yet easy to stitch Snowflake design, sweet for hanging in your Christmas Tree. However the pattern comes with both a heart and flower design to stitch if you prefer. This Rabbit would love to hang in your home all year round.</div>

She loves the 3 Kittens Nursery Rhyme, so I came up with an illustration of 3 kittens getting up to mischief! It is funny how things in your life can inspire your Art, a month ago I finished knitting this cardigan/jacket, the first time I'd knitted a garment for myself. You'll see below how it has appeared in my illustration without even thinking about it. Just glad the birds in my garden didn't unravel it!<br />

I'm drawing a commission of mischievous kittens, starting Module 2 of the Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design Course, printing & making <a href="http://bumpkin.etsy.com/" target="_blank">orders</a>, working on new Story Book Ideas & trying to get Christmas Designs drawn and stitched! I've also just finished printing & trimming 250 Cards & Art Prints and packed them up for a wonderful new Stockist in America (they will be opening their online doors in around a month so I'll tell you all about them then - think traditional & european toys)!<br />

So whilst I keep spinning those plates would you like to have a cup of tea and visit Roald Dahl's garden with me? Nestled in the Buckinghamshire landscape, the gardens at Gipsy House, are opened just a few times a year under the <a href="http://www.ngs.org.uk/gardens/gardenfinder/garden.aspx?id=11240" target="_blank">National Gardens Scheme</a>. Just imagine my excitement when I was able to visit on my recent UK trip! </div>

Such a beautiful white house with bright happy yellow doors and my favourite part of course was his Writer's Hut looking out over a wildflower meadow! Maybe, just maybe, one day I too will build my own mini house with roses round the door where I can go and write & paint! I'll let the photos do the rest... you can click on all the photos to see larger images.</div>

You may remember <a href="http://bumpkinbears.blogspot.be/2013/04/excitement-overload.html" target="_blank">this</a> post when I shared the exciting news that I had been approached by the lovely <a href="http://printpattern.blogspot.com/2013/08/new-book-out-print-pattern-kids.html" target="_blank">Marie Perkins</a> to have my designs included. The very first Book I've ever been featured in! I still can't quite believe it, it's kind of a surreal seeing my work in print alongside such huge names as Cath Kidston, Laura Ashley and so many others. There are in fact just over 100 designers and 750 colour illustrations, what a treat for the eyes!<br />
