I would like to introduce you to a fellow Brit's wonderful designs over at Mrs Eliot Books. Francesca Iannaccone's funky prints somehow manage to be both whimsical and modernistic all at the same time. I had to buy her "hearts" modernist print the moment I saw it and then when I read that she managed this business whilst working around 2 noisy boys I just had to get in touch. In Francesca's own words:
"I run mrs eliot books from my office (aka mummy's work room) in my house that I share with my husband Ben and our 2 noisy boys, 3.5 and 7.
I really try and stick to my working hours which are 9 - 11.30 every morning (yes, not really long enough to run a creative business) but sometimes I have to do printing and packing after school.
They're pretty good about it but they do like company, so I am often seen sneaking up the stairs on my tip-toes hoping nobody's noticed. That usually lasts around 5 minutes and soon they are they are there, spinning on my chair, wanting to use the computer, and popping all my bubble wrap. Ho-hum...I have realised over time that trying to work with kids around is really hard. And not very fair on them. So as soon as they're old enough, I will put them to work in the packing department ;-)"
I think all us creating mummies know the "sneak off" move all too well and also know that it is a guarantee for a "mum hunt" and "destroy" policy - at least that is the case in my house. SO I shall leave you with just a taster of what Mrs Eliot Books has to offer and recommend you go visit her website, etsy store or facebook page for more designs to drool over.
