Things have been a bit hectic crazy lately, hence the radio silence over here! Sometimes managing a day job with freelance design work is really flippin' difficult and I'm trying to find a bit of a better way to balance everything out at the moment, and to stop my head from exploding. That being said, I've been working on some really exciting projects lately, which I've really been enjoying, and thought I'd share a few sneak peeks with you...

+ Some hand drawn typography that I did for a save the date design recently.
+ A mood board for a branding project I'm working on - can't wait to share this with you!
+ A fun floral pattern I put together, just for fun - i'm starting to realise patterns are my fave. 
+ And a small detail of an order of service, which I'm just wrapping up at the moment.

So I'm trying to remember this. It helps.

two weeks today i will have graduated from my design course. it's a pretty terrifying prospect right now, but explains why things have been so quiet around here! over 200 unread posts in my bloglovin' haaa! however, it's also really exciting, and i cannot wait to get back to normality, catch up with all my friends and have loads of summer fun! so i'm currently just trying to stay motivated and get as much work as i possibly can done every single spare moment, but it's definitely not easy, especially in this heatwave. can't wait to be all done though and share my final portfolio with you guys! in other news, i finally got my vsco grid the other day, yeay! i have been a huge fan of vscocam for ages, pretty much all my instagrams are edited with it. but i love the style and design of the grid - so clean and simple and loads of white space, yes! you can check it out here, and i've put a link in my sidebar too. let me know if you have a vsco grid and i'll check it out!

apparently the flowers are super amazing this year because spring started so late. eh? but anyway, they are, aren't they?! and if you follow me on instagram you're probably already aware that i'm pretty obsessed with them at the moment. i took this snap in a cute flower shop in clifton, bristol when i was visiting for my sister's birthday. i cannot believe it's june tomorrow. JUNE?! say whaaaaat? less than two months until i graduate from design school, woah. I just wanted to pop by and apologise that my blog posts are a bit few and far between at the moment, and also that i've been rubbish at visiting your blogs! this may not change for a while i'm afraid. my social life is going out the window now as it's time to concentrate on my portfolio - can't wait to share it with you in a few weeks time!

i'll still be posting on instagram, twitter & my tumblr from time to time so you can still catch me there. oh, and thanks for the lovely comments on hello it's you, so glad you all like it!

we're just back in london after a lovely weekend with friends and the most super cute baby, ever. it was fun and relaxing. but things have been very busy. work, catch ups with friends, college and house hunting, argh! and my teux deux list is getting longer, and i might be a little behind on my homework. eeek. but it hasn't happened much, and i figure i can't get all of it done all of the time. come may though i think i'm really going to have to knuckle down and put my all into this course before i graduate. anyway, just wanted to check in and say hi. i'm so glad spring has finally decided to arrive! there is blossom everywhere, and that definitely makes me happy! hope you all had lovely weekends. x photo taken on my iphone in london this week.
