I thought I would write a little bit about calligraphy and hand lettering today as 'modern calligraphy' seems to be everywhere at the moment (maybe I just think so as I love it so much). Never before has hand lettering looked so good. There are some great examples and I will run through a few below. I got the Calligraphy bug from seeing Molly Jacques work and she inspired me try calligraphy. Molly also has e-courses you can do in hand lettering if you want to try it. Closer to home in Glasgow is another Calligrapher I admire Laura E Patrick. Laura...

I have been trying to Business Plan this week! Yikes! To be honest I am nowhere near finished (probably because I keep stopping for tea and biscuits as you saw on my Instagram feed. Opps!)

Finally, I am launching some new products! I am a little bit of a procrastinator as you can tell. I decided to make this planner and to do list as I desperately needed them for myself. So far they have been brilliant at organising my time as a busy Mum. I tend to write out my planner for the week on a Sunday and I always have a list of to do's for each day too.
