I love sewing, mostly clothing but also pillow shams or throws. And most of the fabrics I fall for are floral or botanical of some kind. Chinoiserie, trailing florals or heritage patterns, I'm a huge collector of fabric. Here are some of my favorite from indie designers.

I love designing dog fabrics. I'm sure I haven't covered all the breeds but if you have a request, just ask! I'm mostly showing my Spoonflower fabrics here but I can also list them on Contrado for the UK or Loominate for EU if you want.

I've learned most of what I know about surface pattern design on Skillshare. Here are my favorite instructors and classes.

The sun sparkling on the water in the tidepools by the sea… my inspiration has always been close to the ocean. And is to happends that Coastal aesthetic is trending right now. I've created a collection of marine critters & ocean-inspired beads, always in bright colors as this is kind of my signature style. My beads often incorporate fine silver into the molten glass, adding texture and sparkle.

Have you heard of the grandmillennial interior decor trend? It incorporates elements of decoration from the past into modern interiors. A mix of old and new to create a cozy feel.

Where to buy glass and tools for lampwork glass bead making.

I'm one of those people who need to make things so I'm always hunting for unique craft materials. Here's a collection of lovely tissue papers with antique prints or designer patterns, perfect for git wrapping but also for decoupage, collage, scrapbooking or junk journaling.

I'm a surface pattern designer and part of my illustration work is done digitally. Here are some of my preferred accessories for that.

If you're also the curator of a large fabric stash, you know how important it is to keep feeding it. Here is some inspiration for the coming Halloween season. Hint: it includes some of my own designs!

It might seem early to start thinking about holiday but sewists need to start producing the items they'll be selling for Christmas months in advance. Here's a selection of some cute and trendy fabrics I like, mostly from independant artists… and some of mine too as surface pattern design is an interest of mine. I love tracking trends and trying to figure out how to integrate a new trend into my portfolio!

If you're a crafter, you're likely always looking for new storage ideas. And some storage items can actually be beautiful in themselves. Isn't it great to work in a stylish studio?

I read a lot of mystery books and love it when there is an added twist, like a slightly fantastical or magical aspect. Or dragons.

This is my current reading list which I will update with reviews as I go. Hopefully you'll discover a few good reads along the way. I like historical mysteries, sci-fi, thrillers but also historical fiction.

Yes, I know, I read a lot. And I love nothing more than a great adventure novel with an accurate historical background so that you learn about history while having fun. Hopefully I'll make you discover some new authors too.

Patriotic red white and blue for the win! But always stylish of course, I'm French after all. And I've included a few lovely handmade items that will appeal to those who don't like mass-marketed.

Last year I noticed that in every bag of soil or compost I bought, I found tiny pieces of plastic so I vowed to reduce my consumption of plastic because however good you're trying to be with recycling, it ends up in our environment.

Arts & Crafts inspired home decor included ceramic tiles, bathroom decor, living room and bedding curated from designer illustrations.
