Some new little animals have been putting in an appearance in my sketchbook and seem to have taken on a life of their own!

 Well 2013 is off to a productive start with a new little character fresh off the drawing board. Meet Dee - a little girl with big worries. She worries far too much for someone so small...now how on earth can she send those worries away?

So way back in spring last year I was approached to work on a top secret and very exciting project. Of course I leapt at the chance to be involved and had a brilliant time working with the lovely Georgy and co. trying to bring their ideas to life through illustration. It was a lovely project to work on as the illustrations play an important role in creating the identity and feel for the website, packaging and most importantly the tags themselves. Now I am delighted to be able to say that Return My Ted is officially open!

Please check out the site at www.returnmyted.com. It is a fantastic and highly unique idea that is perfect for ensuring the safe return of any of our little people's most treasured toys.

 I have recently set up a little online shop selling greeting cards and prints featuring my illustration work. The personalised pictures are proving very popular as beautiful gifts for the special little people in our lives! Feel free to have a little browse at www.missrosieblue.com.

I had the pleasure of illustrating Kate David's lovely story about a little girl and her magical hat last year and I am delighted that it has now been published and is available to buy.
