This year I've been selling Mother's Day cards in five designs through my <a href="http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/partners/gooseberrymoon/products" target="_blank">not on the high street shop</a>. Each design can have the greeting on the front of the card personalised. There's just a couple of days left to order if you like them.<br />

If you want to see sneak peeks of my new range follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/gooseberrymoon" target="_blank">instagram</a> where I'll be sharing as I go along.<br />
<br />
Back to this years. I think this design would look perfect as a book cover hence the name 'Novel'. Shown here in one of my favourite colour combinations, grey and mustard. But like all my wedding stationery it can be recoloured to match any wedding theme.<br />

Wendy saw my midnight flowers pattern design on my facebook page and asked if I'd be able to use this for her wedding stationery. I love incorporating my patterns into my stationery designs so this was great fun to do.<br />

I do have some favourite Welsh words though and have wanted to design some contemporary Welsh cards for a while. I'm pleased to say I have recently launched a collection of six greetings cards with some lovely Welsh words and general greetings to cover lots of occasions. I'm currently looking for stockists, so if you know any lovely little shops and galleries in Wales where you think my cards would be a good fit please let me know so I can get in touch with them.<br />
<br />
I'm made up that North Wales Tourism have already agreed to stock them in some of their Tourist Information Centres/gift shops.<br />
<br />
Each card features a gooseberrymoon pattern that continues onto the backs of the card. They measure 148mm square and are professionally printed onto 325gsm uncoated board. <a href="http://www.gooseberrymoon.co.uk/shop/4569013714/Welsh-cards" target="_blank">Click here</a> for more images and details.<br />

I feel so lucky to be able to do something that I love for a living. I'd be lying if I said it's easy but easy would be boring. The hardest part is not having enough hours in the day for one person to achieve all that I want to, so I have to remind myself how far I've come and all those little achievements add up. Probably one of the biggest achievements in this time is completing <a href="http://makeitindesign.com/design-school/" target="_blank">The Art and Business of Surface pattern design</a> course. Doing this course had resulted in my work being featured in two amazing online publications firstly <a href="http://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/moyo/" target="_blank">Moyo Magazine</a> and secondly <a href="http://printpattern.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Print and Pattern</a> design blog. Creating patterns is so much fun and there's nothing better than seeing them on actual products like my phone cases, notebooks and greetings cards.<br />
<br />
I've had some great news over the past couple of days. My <a href="http://www.gooseberrymoon.co.uk/shop/4569013714/Welsh-cards" target="_blank">Welsh greetings cards</a> are going to be stocked by North Wales Tourism and one of my patterns is going to be featured in an actual book! Not sure which pattern but the book is called New Pattern Design published by Zeixs. I'll keep you up to date when I get more information.<br />

From setting files up for print to tackling Adobe illustrator - I love it all. I also enjoy learning for the heck of it, things I don't have to do but will help me become a better designer.<br />
<br />
One course that I've recently completed is <a href="http://www.fayebrowndesigns.com/" target="_blank">Faye Brown's</a> <a href="http://www.skillshare.com/classes/design/The-Art-of-Typography-how-to-communicate-effectively-through-the-power-of-type/367812909/project-guide" target="_blank">Art of typography</a> on <a href="http://www.skillshare.com/" target="_blank">Skillshare</a>. I really enjoyed this course from the first mini exercise of matching typefaces to specific words (such fun), right through to the final project of creating our own typographic layout of a quote.<br />
<br />
I chose a made up saying 'Me and you, you and me as happy as can be'. I started off doodling some of the words and letters.<br />

I wanted to hand letter the quote so I copied the above free-hand so it had a little wobbliness to it. After a couple of different versions and adding details to the second 'you' and 'happy', I scanned it into Illustrator, live traced it, added a background and illustrated leaves. And ta dah my final piece.<br />

Another course I've done this year was a printing course at the <a href="http://www.regionalprintcentre.co.uk/" target="_blank">Regional Print Centre</a> in Wrexham. I've since become a member of the centre so I can use their printing facilities. I thought this illustrated quote would make a great screen print so I made up a screen a few weeks ago and had a go at printing.</div>

I need lots more practice at screen printing before I could think about selling them as art prints but was happy I was able to give one of them to my cousin and his wife-to-be for their engagement present. So until I've perfected my screen printing skills I have this quote available as a digital print in my<a href="http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/gooseberrymoon/product/you-and-me-art-print" target="_blank"> notonthehighstreet shop</a>.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px;">Moyo is a quarterly online magazine dedicated to surface pattern design. It's full of interviews, design briefs, colour challenges, art reviews, student showcases, design tips, inspiration and trends. And I was lucky enough to get two little features in the 4th issue. My grasses were in the yellow colour stories and four of my patterns were on the showcase pages. I really love this magazine and look forward to each issue coming out. In fact I think the next one is due out the end of this month. If you've not yet seen these magazines go take a look <a href="http://dowhatyouloveforlife.com/moyo/" target="_blank">here</a> for loads of inspiration.</span></div>

Flowers are one of my favourite things to draw and hopefully will keep me motivated to create more new designs, try new techniques and play with new colour schemes.<br />
<br />
If you'd like to find out more about the A to Z of flowers project visit Pattern & Co's blog here.<br />
<br />
So here's the first... A is for Agapanthus.<br />

Over the next few weeks I'll introduce each design here on my blog. There's twelve designs in total which include four of my most popular alongside eight brand spanking new ones. You can take a peek at them <a href="http://www.gooseberrymoon.co.uk/#/weddings/4574345058" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

I've still got lots to catch up on and loads of information to absorb but have learnt so much over the three modules and enjoyed every moment. One of the best things to come from the course is the network of fellow students. We've come from all over the world to share our love of pattern design and everyone has been really supportive. For anyone thinking of signing up to the course, I highly recommend that you just go for it.<br />
<br />
I first signed up for the course to gain more experience in pattern design for my wedding stationery, I now have dreams of seeing my patterns on textiles and homewares as well as stationery, and feel when the time is right I have been given the knowledge and confidence to make this happen.<br />
<br />
But first things first! I've been concentrating on new designs for wedding stationery featuring some of my new patterns. They'll be launched next month and I'll be sharing some images on my blog soon. In the mean time here's a selection of patterns I've created whilst on the course.<br />

Happy new year! Well the children are back in school after having a lovely Christmas break which means I can get back to working regular hours. The only thing about having a break from work is that I have more time to think up new ideas and give myself even more work to do. I'm currently in the middle of designing a new collection of wedding stationery ready for spring, I'm refreshing the look of my website and continuing my journey of surface pattern design with the final module starting next week. I've learnt so much on this course and met so many inspiring designers. Here's a peek at some designs from my latest 'winter berries' collection.<br />

Merry Christmas and thanks to everyone who has been following my journey so far. I've had an amazing year and couldn't have done it without all the support of my family (especially my husband), friends and, of course, my lovely customers - I am truly grateful! Here are some of my gooseberrymoon highlights of the year:<br />
<br />
