Barcelona

 I spent last week visiting Barcelona with James and his parents. What a wonderful city! Creative, beautiful and sunny! Fell a bit in love with this place. My favorite part was wondering around the old town in the early evening, seeing all the hustle and bustle as the streets came alive with children playing, the amazing food markets and alfresco dining. 

 

Gardening

I can't wait to have a garden one day. A fairly wild one with lots of wildflowers and a vegetable patch. For the time being I can dream and draw! In other news I am now being represented by Branch Agency which is rather exiting. I will still be doing my own freelance work too. They have some great Illustrators and I am rather honored to be one of them : ) Any way you can check them out here and take a look at their behance here.

My Cushions!

I am pleased to say that I have completed my first batch of cushions! They are high quality digital prints on thick cotton canvas and have been handmade with a zip at the side.

I am hoping to sell them locally in and around the Bristol area. I will also be selling them upon request to anyone interested please email me at hello@hollymaguire.co.uk. 

Very exited!

Cushion Making

Whilst staying with my grandparents, my gran helped me to make my first batch of cushion covers. I say help, she more did the sewing whilst I attempted to learn and make myself useful! Am so chuffed with the result, a product I can take to shops and potentially sell! Huge thanks to gran for all her amazing help. Below are a few photos of the making process, done in the sunny garden room : )

A visit to the Lakes.

This weekend James and I went to the Kendal, close to the Lake District to visit my grandparents. We had a lovely stay and a great time visiting the beautiful Lakes and exploring nearby farms and villages accompanied by lots of cream teas!

A Beautiful Wedding

Last saturday was the celebration of my lovely friends Sean and Nicola's wedding. It was such a perfect day, with a lovely moving ceremony, followed by a outside reception in the most beautiful garden I have ever seen! It was really lovely and relaxed with pimms on picnic blankets with a hog roast, dancing and exploring more of the gardens. Most important was seeing Sean and Nic so happy in their newly wedded bliss : )
