Selling my canvases online




I have decided to put some of my smaller canvases in an online shop. I want them to be on a site that attracts the right customer. Which online sites are the best to sell interior products?

My first commission




Since July 2007 I have been working on a commission with Limeart to design the image on the ward curtains in the new Children's hospital in Manchester. It has been a very exciting project for me, especially as it is my first commission.

The hospital opened in June this year, so quite a few months later I have finally had some free time to go and have a look at them. And it was very exciting!!! I was so happy when I saw my design on the curtains, they are a lovely blue colour and feature various shapes that children can identify with. Also printed on both sides which mean the patients have something to look at when they are in their beds!

Every christmas tree must have these!!



On Monday I spent most of my day off finding perfect handmade gifts for Christmas on Etsy. I have always loved lu summers shop Summersville. When I saw her tweet to give her 700th customer some extra goodies I couldn't resist and bought my mum a present from her shop.
I have been excited the past few days to recieve my parcel, so this morning when I opened it along with the lovely present were 3 decorations to hang on my tree. (very happy as I nearly bought these not long ago).
Take a look at her shop for great gifts and fabrics! Summersville
