Pretty soap packaging

June 9, 2014June 9, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 9 Comments

Since moving back to our house after the builders moved out, we’ve only succeeded in getting two rooms anywhere near a finished condition. The kitchen has a single coat of paint up on the walls, but that at least makes it look better than everywhere else where the bare plaster sings out in all its … Continue reading Pretty soap packaging

Homemade deodorant

Or, Knitting your own yoghurt I try and live a relatively "green" life, but I  could hardly claim to be an early adopter. Back in my carefree, childless days (otherwise known as my early 20s) I used to flit around the capital doing fun things and, I have to admit, rather scoff at people who … Continue reading Homemade deodorant

How to make your own soap

December 17, 2012January 2, 2016 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

I have to admit, my favourite type of craft project is one that involves little more than putting a few things together. Okay, as I’ve written that, I realise that “putting a few things together” is a distillation of every craft project there ever has been, as well as any food recipes too.

Grief is a complicated thing. It is 15 years today since my first son died — ten months old, asleep in his cot at home when I was out at work. Everything has changed in the years since and in some ways I can hardly imagine how that other life of mine would have played out if he hadn’t died. At other times, I remember the phone call I got from the Homerton as I left work on that day, and the pain is just as deep as it was in the moment. It’s been written many times, I know, but grief doesn’t ever really lessen, you just learn to grow around it, to grow alongside it. You learn to adapt as the rest of the world continues on and people forget, and you become one of the only memory keepers. Which itself is another complicated thing.
So grateful for friends who leave flowers on your doorstep because they know you are feeling sad.
