Colour Me Kate

A reminder of warm hearts and warmer days.💙 This little commission is between two ladies whose friendship has spanned more than 50 years.

I know I’ve been a bit more MIA. But I’m still here if you are keen to have something painted - just took a break to get back into the swing of another pandemic school year.

I’ve only gone and made some stickers for packaging! Woohoo! These branded beauts are even waterproof! 💦 Here’s to future happy mail! 💌

I know I’ve been MIA for an age! Summer school and online courses have had me a bit tapped out for creative time. But as we enter August I’m looking forward to having more time to funnel into watercolour now. 🎨

Feel free to message if you’ve got an idea bubbling that I can help with - getting to make someone else’s vision into a reality is always my favourite challenge! 💕

I missed a strand of hair...but I needed to show off these beauties from .studio. 🍓🥰 The minute I saw her post about them, I knew I would be setting a countdown on my phone and getting to that shop the minute they were released because...

𝔽𝕦𝕟 𝕗𝕒𝕔𝕥: I have worked at a strawberry stand on the side of the road for four summers in a row now. It was the first job I managed to get when I returned home from living in England for five years. It is the ＢＥＳＴ job, with the nicest coworkers, bosses and company. The family I work for are so caring and thoughtful that they put on a thank you meal tonight for a few of us outside. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sport these stunners, and got a number of compliments on them. Go check her out .studio, her work is pretty incredible and intricate.

Upping my packaging game. Excited for the mini road trip to take this one to its new home!

Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads, single Moms and guardian superheroes, who are out there stepping up for their kids each day. 🦸🏿‍♂️🦸🏽‍♀️👨🏼‍🚒You really are superheroes and have one of the hardest (and from what I hear most rewarding) jobs out there. This ones to you!

Progress shot! 📸 Working on some Father’s Day cards today with some great puns! 💌 Keep me in mind if you’re still hunting for some! I can make originals or prints.

Today I’ve finally got some downtime after report cards, so keeping my workspace smelling great and relaxing with my candle and ready to tie back my hair when the creativity gets flowing with .s.scrunchies!

Here’s to sunny Sundays, and long conversations with irreplaceable friends.☀️💗

Today this piece was handed over to one of my favourite people for a milestone birthday. So grateful for the magnificence she brings to our lives.✨
