apologies...

... for my long absence on this blog... but... I have great exciting news to share: I am working on a big big project!! You should know more about by end of January!

Meanwhile, enjoy some of these french pastries! :) (they remained unchosen for one of my projects but I am sure they will find a new fresh and fun purpose someday!)

Have a nice start in the week!

let it snow!

It's not snowing yet, but I can feel the winter coming...

Busy times and not a lot I can post about here... but at least I have a new pattern to show! :)

birthdays are fun!

Yesterday night was party time... we arrived at our friend's house by surprise and celebrated her birthday with good food, champagne and cocktails! As you can guess, this is the birthday card I had made for her...

Have a sunny weekend everyone! And be as happy as these birds in their tree!

Playing around with type for a personal project today... [ the second one is, of course, based on the very famous "keep calm & carry on" ]

playing around

... with an existing pattern can be fun sometimes! :)

road trip

A while ago Prima released my new scrapbooking collection: road trip .

I'm back!

After this long break during which I... went to NY for a quick holiday, moved to our new place, planned a new collaboration (shhh, can't tell you yet!), went to Greece and Crete for a real holiday, and plenty of other exciting things........ I'm finally back blogging! :)

Enjoy this summer pattern I have been working on lately!

I'M TAKING A BREAK

I have decided I need to take a break from blogging for some weeks... I have too many things to do and as you have seen I haven't been blogging for some days now, so I just wanted to let you know that I'm off for a while. I promise to try my best to be back ASAP but I'm not sure how much time I need to handle everything so let's say, I'll keep you posted! :)

Meanwhile enjoy this lovely summer design on ceramic... - vase by Atelier LZC

Let me tell you...

... not a little secret, like these dumbo-octopuses* are doing! Just let me do a little update and tell you what has been going on in my life lately and why I haven't been blogging for 2 whole weeks...! [yikes!]

I have been doing quite a few trips back and forth between Paris and South Italy to finally move back to Paris... the 8 months are over and la dolce vita has come to an end... so sad! But it's also nice to be back in France! (if it wasn't for the bad bad weather...!)

Right now I'm handling a big bunch of things like paper work, tidying up (it's unbelievable how much space 8-months-abroad-brought-back-home take!), working on new patterns, new wall decals and... a sticker collection!... well well well... busy is great! and anyways, the weather doesn't really make you wanna go out unless you feel like taking a little outdoor shower.....!! :)

* I saw the dumbo-octupuses for the first time on tv last week, in a very nice reportage made by Yann Arthus Bertrand, the author and photograph of Earth From Above and Home. They live in the extreme depths of the ocean and as you can guess, they get their name because of their ear-like fins. I thought they look adorable and would be a nice subject for a new pattern!

"in the rain" patterns from sunny Paris!

Being back in Paris is wonderful, but time flies... it really does! I'm sorry for not posting a lot these days but I'm working on some projects I can't show you yet... I have worked on something nice I can post about though. Remember my illustration for IF:rescue? Well, I have worked on some matching patterns to it and I think they would work well for kids' bedding and pyjamas. What do you think?

summer fruits are back!

I had the first strawberries this year a couple of weeks ago in Italy and they were simply delicious! The other day I had a very tasty melon and I can feel the first cherries aren't that far away either! :) To yummy summer fruits!!
