Goodbye 2022. You’ve been… unexpected. I’m not going to sugar-coat it; 2022 was NOT the year for Squiggles & Ink that I had hoped. I’m not sure whose year it was, because as far as I can see it sucked hard for so many and next year isn’t looking too hot either at this point …
Are you a pink person? Or do you steer clear? For many years I gave pink a wide berth – it always felt far too girly for me and as a teen I spent much of my time getting messy with painting and building theatre scenery it seemed like an unnecessary addition to my wardrobe …
I recently heard the term “Dopamine Dressing” and thought it sounded right up my street, but what does it actually mean? The phrase has been around for years with the idea of wearing bright colours and patterns to boost your mood. And it doesn’t just have to be about trying to outshine the sun if …
I’ve always been a doodler – school books would always be covered with crazy patterns and cute drawings – and making/building things gives me great satisfaction (I’m a dab hand at DIY too!). As a child I was always asking my mum for materials to build castles, or making endless drawings of houses I wanted …

A white tee really is the most versatile item you can have in your wardrobe, but some might argue they can be a little boring. Well no more boring white t-shirts! These ladies-fit tees inject a little bit of personality without taking over; they can be dressed up or down easily – ready for the …
I’d like to introduce you to my big brother – the king of Oops! and the inspiration behind this design. I am sure that “oops” comes out of his mouth a hundred times a day; so often, in fact, that he even has it tattooed on his collar bone after breaking it in a mountain-biking …
“Press down to rise” is a phrase used in the yoga world and I heard it a lot over the course of 2020 when I was trying to find some Zen in this crazy world. Much like the idea that an arrow must first be pulled backwards in order to fly or a seed must …
Be more Arrietty. This is my daughter, wearing the first thing I ever printed. The design is hers (as most little girls are, she is obsessed with all things pink, princess and unicorn related!) and it is my most popular design to date. Although when I first gave it to her she was less than …
