  1. My 2025 By The Sea Calendars are now in stock. I have had quite a few people asking about my square wall calendar but for various reasons I'm afraid I don't have one this year. Hopefully I will get back on track next year. 

    However this years calendars from my publisher Carousel Calendars are looking fabulous and will certainly fill a hole in any wall. We have a lovely slim calendar which doesn't take up a lot of space but still has plenty room to write those improtant dates on.

    For those of you with more lives to organise the By The Sea Year Planner has enough space to write appointments for 4 people and a wipeable board and a note pad for extra reminders.

    Both these items are available in my shop and you can also pick them up from Garden Centres and your local WHSmith. Here is to keeping you organised in 2025! x

  2. I'm delighted to tell you that I have a new 1000 piece jigsaw design available from my fabulous jigsaw publisher Ravensburger. 

    The new jigsaw is called Harbour Life and is inspired by the walrus who visited the coastal towns this summer. It pictures a busy coastal harbour scene with boats and fishermen.a village nestles into the hills and behind are trees, clouds and a hot air balloon. Perfect for the dark nights.

    Although this one is hot from the press the next one is already in the making. Watch this space!

  3. I'm looking forward to opening my studio space this year for the 2023 Spring Fling Open Studio Event from the 27th to the 29th May. I'll have new paintings, cards, prints, textiles and more. 

    Spring Fling is a fabulous visual art and craft open studios event covering the length and breadth of Dumfries and Galloway in South West Scotland. It is highly regarded as one of the UK’s most successful contemporary visual art and craft open studio events.

    I have created a new big painting called The Unexpected Guest which will be my feature painting of the weekend.
