Ready for the weekend and trying not to panic about how much I've still got to do before Christmas 😬

Here's a new little pattern I've created for this week's @spoonflower contest 'Scandinavian art'. If you like it please consider heading over to the Spoonflower website to vote 😊

Here's my #topnine2018 posts!
My new watercolour mountains print was a clear favourite this year!
I'm aware that I've definitely started to use Instagram more like a personal journal, rather than just a place to share my art. I'm so grateful to all of you that have stuck around through my personal life updates and gender ramblings and continue to like all my posts. 😆
Ever since Devon was born in 2013, my mental health has not been the greatest. But focusing on art over the last few years has been one of the few things that has kept me grounded. 2018 has been the first full year for me feeling like the fog and darkness are clearing. I finally feel like myself again. But not just like the person I was before I had Devon, but like the young kid I used to be. The kid who took risks and stared at the stars. The kid who loved art, maths and science in equal measure. The kid who felt that gender seemed like something arbitrarily assigned at birth and who only went along with girl because it seemed to be what everyone else wanted. So I guess my Instagram feed is evolving to reflect all that.
Realising that even in your 30's you can learn new things about yourself has been truly revelationary.
So thank you so much to everyone that has supported me in 2018, I love you all 😊 Xxx

You would not believe the number of strangers who gender Devon as a girl. Today presumably based on his pink wellies and slightly longer hair? Who knows. He doesn't care but it amazes me how people seem utterly unable to use gender neutral language when talking to and about children. Why is classifying children into gender boxes so pressing that people have to make assumptions based on flimsy evidence like boot colour? Is it so hard to believe a boy might wear pink? 🤔

Added a bit of rainbow to the Christmas decor this year 😊
(I made these stars using the instructions on a recent @spoonflower blogpost.) 🌈

Devon has wanted us to both have sparkly nails for a while now so I finally bought some nail polish. I think this is the first time I have painted my nails in literally decades (Nick can't remember me ever doing it and we've been together nearly 14 years). I'm not sure why I've been so against it - it's colour and painting, what's not to like?
It's probably mostly because I'm lazy and don't think about my nails that much. But I think on a deeper level I have also been subconsciously avoiding it, as my own way of pushing back against the performative femininity I've always felt a pressure to partake in. But in trying to raise Devon to know that things like make up are genderless (and it's up to him whether he wears it, not society) I've realised I should perhaps listen to my own advice a bit more. 😁

One of the best things about doing surface pattern design is getting to work with such passionate small business owners.
I recently worked with Anastasia of @kulacloth to create this blue mosaic pattern for the background of her Kula Cloth product.
It's basically a reusable cloth for those folks out in the wilderness for whom a quick shake isn't quite enough after a tinkle 😆
Anastasia came up with the product after finding mounds of toilet paper behind trees out on popular hiking trails and wondered if there was a better, more environmentally friendly option.
This Kula cloth design is available now and we have some further designs in the pipeline 😁
