Dresses for girls: homemade baby presents

July 30, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

A momentous event occurred a few weeks ago. My sister gave birth to a baby girl. Of course, every birth is pretty momentous -- a life is begun where before there wasn't one -- but this was especially astounding as the baby was the first of her generation to not be a boy... Between me … Continue reading Dresses for girls: homemade baby presents

Turning one

June 1, 2015 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

We're just back from a lovely week in Somerset and I've got lots of photos I want to share with you of some of the beautiful places we visited. However, since I think I would need to change this blog's name to Gardens wot I have visited if I were to follow on with yet … Continue reading Turning one

Homemade birthday T-shirts

July 30, 2014July 30, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

The sproglet turned two at the weekend and I couldn't resist making him a birthday T-shirt.   (Is this an addiction? Quite possibly. But one I just can't seem to beat...) We had a brilliant party in the local park, with a gazebo bedecked with bunting. I felt I was fulfilling my SE London parental … Continue reading Homemade birthday T-shirts

Things I’ve learnt: blogging

October 25, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 10 Comments

When I started this blog just over a year ago, with the aim of documenting my attempts to start up a fabric line, I thought that blogging was the one thing I actually already knew about. In past day jobs, I’ve run blogs for big online companies. Blogs that are listed in Google News; blogs … Continue reading Things I’ve learnt: blogging

A photo a day: August 22nd

August 22, 2013August 22, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 4 Comments

Oh dear me, no photo for the day yesterday. I was absolutely determined that I was going to manage to post a picture every single day this month, but yesterday passed by in a blear of exhaustion as I'd got up at 3.30am to go to the New Covent Garden flower market for a trial … Continue reading A photo a day: August 22nd

A very important arrival

August 20, 2013August 26, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 21 Comments

Last week I became an Aunt for the very first time.* One of my sisters had a baby boy and I can report, completely objectively of course, that he is one of the cutest little babies ever to be born. I’d been knitting a blanket for the new arrival for a ridiculously long time, but … Continue reading A very important arrival

A first teapot cosy and some grand plans

May 7, 2013May 13, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

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

May 4, 2013May 10, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 6 Comments

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

Beautiful letterpress business cards

April 26, 2013April 26, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 5 Comments

Just dropping in very quickly this morning to show you a few pictures of these little beauties: What is that heavenly thing of wonder? I hear you ask. Is it the latest exhibit at the Tate? Is it the winner of the Turner prize? Is it a new work by Hockney? Prepare to be amazed, … Continue reading Beautiful letterpress business cards

Brighton: a plethora of pattern

April 25, 2013October 31, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 2 Comments

When I was down in Brighton over the weekend, it seemed as if everywhere I went I saw amazing patterns, embedded into the everyday fabric of the city. I don’t know whether it was just that I was on holiday, so was looking around me with a little more interest and leisure than I normally … Continue reading Brighton: a plethora of pattern
