I’m pretty sure I’m preaching to the converted with this article, so let me just summarise everything that’s going to follow in four words: I flipping love Pinterest. Somehow, Pinterest must have found out how much I love them and decided to let me know that they love me back, because they asked me to … Continue reading Pin it forward UK: I’d like to introduce…

Quilt happy
I write this fresh from waging war on the slugs and snails in my garden. I'd love to say that I was the victor but, despite having deposited a full ice cream tub of the slippery critters into the skip at the end of my road, I fear their guerilla warfare tactics will give them … Continue reading Quilt happy
Back to business: card holders
Something feels wrong this Monday. Oh, wait, I know what it is… …it’s not a Bank holiday. Sob, sob. Somehow the three-day weekend last week felt like a miniature holiday, whereas the weekend we’ve just had was more like a rushed work lunch break. Two whole days passed so quickly that I don’t really know … Continue reading Back to business: card holders
A stroll around Peckham Rye Park
Part of my Making the Most of London series It’s been dawning on me recently that I’m not so young any more. It’s not the wrinkles and increasing number of grey hairs that are the biggest giveaway. Nope, it’s the way I choose to spend my spare time that is the real telltale sign. Not … Continue reading A stroll around Peckham Rye Park
Making the most of London
I’m someone who likes to plan. Not in a “did we buy enough bread to see us through to the weekend?” kind of way. More in a “ooooh, why don’t we move to Croatia in a year and buy a boat and sail to Greece and learn to make Greek food and then come back … Continue reading Making the most of London
Late again, late again and a travel dream
Ever feel like you've turned up to the party a day late when everyone else has already started cleaning up? That's me at the moment. Or perhaps, I've turned up and can see everyone else inside having fun, but they're being too loud to hear me frantically ringing on the doorbell... You see, I keep … Continue reading Late again, late again and a travel dream
Five things about me
Regular readers will know that here on this blog I move at the speed of a gazelle. Okay, perhaps at the speed of a very young gazelle. With a club foot. Who is just learning to walk in heels. Anyone who read my post at the start of March about these children’s T-shirts I made … Continue reading Five things about me
A first teapot cosy and some grand plans
You know my hugely nebulous plans to start up a great fabric empire to rival Libertys? Well, in an attempt to make them less nebulous and more concrete, I've given myself a deadline to have my Etsy shop up and running and actually stocked with things that I've made. (Note the careful way I'm not … Continue reading A first teapot cosy and some grand plans
Things I’ve learnt: screen printing
I have a new love! It’s screen printing! Screen printing was the very first thing I wrote on my Things to Learn list, that lengthy tome of everything I need to do to get this fabric business started. I want to print onto T-shirts, babygrows, bags, cushions… ...you know, the usual old things. But I … Continue reading Things I’ve learnt: screen printing
Garden moodboard: May
When we moved into our house last September there was a giant cactus in the front garden. As you're reading the words “giant cactus” I suspect you’re imagining a large cactus in a pot. Maybe a couple of feet tall. Nope, what I’m talking about is a giant cactus, growing straight out of the ground. … Continue reading Garden moodboard: May
