I am an art director in the magazine publishing industry, residing in Melbourne, Australia.

Dangerously close to 30 years of age, I haven't clung to the appearance of youth, but embraced the 'nanna-arts'.

When not whipping up a layout in InDesign or attending a photo shoot at work, I love nothing more than cosy-ing up at home with my lovely husband and gorgeous puppies.

My mate Ali and I have been friends for 18 years. So you can imagine how chuffed I was when she welcomed her beautiful baby girl Piper into the world… seems like just yesterday. Well, it wasn’t yesterday — a couple weeks ago Piper celebrated her first birthday. And in fine style — mum baked an angel cake and everything! (Literally a cake decorated to look like an angel, not an angel food cake…).

Piper is such a happy little cherub, and I can just imagine the adventures her and Ali will get up to in the years ahead. With that in mind, I made Piper a quilt for her birthday. On the card I wrote: “May the enclosed look and feel like a little sunshine on a cold and wintry day”. I thought the warm tones of yellow and mustard perfectly suited her sunny personality. Have fun snugglin’, little one. xo
