Really excited to share this mug collection with you which I did for M&S. The brief was to work on various popular hobby's. My husband was pretty pleased to see a cycling one in there as he is a bike maniac! There's also a tennis, baking and gardening themed designs. They were really fun to work on, setting little scenes to convey a story. All the designs are hand painted in watercolours first, scanned in high resolution, edited and formatted onto a mug template.

I have such wonderful memories of blackberry picking as a child with my little sister. I really want to make it a yearly activity with my children. Ripe blackberries are a sign of the end of the summer, when picked fresh they do not keep for long just a couple of days so get prepare beforehand so you can make this straight after picking. This recipe is so easy, you can definitely do it with young children. Or even if you've never baked before you will be able to make this and it will taste amazing! Baked using my new collection at David Mason Design. Shop the range online at www.maisonhome.co ..read more
