hanging around in the studio

Some times when I look through Happy House illustrations I come across favorites and just feel the need to print them in bigger formats. Then spend a few hours buzzing on the sewing machine, its nice to see the illustrations come to life.............

more from a rain day

more winter girls all rugged up.........

down comes the rain

On wintery days like we have had I can't help paint girls in beautiful warm tones, wearing yummy winter outfits that just make me feel happy about the cold rather than typically loathing it. There are so many things to be thankful for in winter like layered clothing, hot chocolates, open fires, beanies, scarves and wellington boots...... and i like how the winter makes these girls come about!

These illustrations are for sale soon, originals and prints, a whole wonderful collection and commissions are available too if you love to capture the playful essence of someone special.

on days when you just are slouching at home and you want your old comfy's on, you need a cup of tea and a good movie and it makes for the perfect arvo....... ahhhh winter you brew some lovely moments.

i am not a big city girl but occasionally when i am really in the mood and I hit the shops and come away with just one great find, I understand the whole term' shop therapy'.

I call her 'red'

Some days its just nice to throw a pen on paper and then some paint and see what come about. Red as I call her is one of the new girls that I am messing around with, maybe as a new range.

rainbow ribbons

i think all girls love rainbow ribbons, i wanted to create a range where the ribbons just decorate the clothes and just hang loosely so they flow when you walk and run, they look super cute on these primary colours too, i would have so loved a pair of faded red jeans when i was a kid....... actually maybe i did..... smile jeans in the 80's......

zippity do da

working currently on some concepts for fashion for  8 to 14 year old girls. tell me what you think. my most memorable items when i was young ( oh so long ago) were items that had some element of interest, a bit unusual, a little bit unexpected like zips in unusual places and sleeves that detached or jackets that turned inside out..... i like the idea of pockets unzipping and you being able to put them in a different places on the garment....... more to come.

iggi's messages for a happy life

I can't help think we all need to be happy with what we have, love everything on the outside and in........ Iggi loves all

simple pleasures

we all love days in the garden right? or maybe its just a few of us........ something about the wonders of nature that just offer us those magic peaceful happy moments like when a butterfly passes you by.......

comfy

I have started this series of little hand paintings, all of girls in cute outfits....... generally I have someone in mind. This is currently one of my favorites, she makes me feel like a hot chocolate on the couch and a favorite movie. She just looks 'comfy' and she makes me smile.

smile down on me fairy

when ever i draw a fairy it is guaranteed to make me feel good, they pop up from now and then and even after all this time they make me smile. one of the first even happy house cards was a very fun fairy in some wicked wedge shoes, this little blossom is a little more light weight, just as fairies should be.....

smile on a rainy day

Another little illustration from our "funny little friends" theme. Smiling even on a rainy day. Just as I mentioned before, this range are meant to make you feel warm and cosy.  x Tiff

a smile a day

this little gem makes me smile, it is part of our "funny little friends" theme. all the illustrations are very sweet and soft and meant to make you feel cuddly and warm. i will post a couple more in the next few days that all belong to the same family. enjoy.
