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

Down on the farm

July 14, 2014July 13, 2014 ~ Wolves in London ~ 1 Comment

We're off on hols this week; staying on a farm where we plan to ride horses and tractors and collect our own eggs from the chickens every morning. Perhaps we might even spot a pig as glorious as this one... I intended, of course, to schedule lots of blog posts in advance so you wouldn't … Continue reading Down on the farm

Those of you who’ve been reading my blog for a while might remember my hugely talented sister, Letterpress printer extraordinaire and maker of my wedding invitations and business cards.

Armchair travel

October 22, 2013November 12, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ 3 Comments

Once upon a time, I used to get itchy feet if I hadn’t been out of the country for a month. I was a travel aficionado. Weekend city breaks, European holidays, winter ski trips, a year off travelling through Asia: there were few travel opportunities I didn’t jump at. Frequently. But, now, of course, I’ve … Continue reading Armchair travel

Letterpress wedding invitations

October 6, 2013October 5, 2013 ~ Wolves in London ~ Leave a comment

When it comes to planning a homemade wedding, let me offer you one excellent piece of advice: make sure there is someone really talented in your family at a wedding-related craft and then force them to give you their expertise for free. Don't have someone in the family already? No worries, divorce your current family … Continue reading Letterpress wedding invitations

Everyone tells you that organising a wedding is stressful. So much to do. So many people to coordinate. So many little things to think about. And of course, you don't believe a word of it. "Not me," you think, "I won't be some crazed bridezilla, storming around the place screaming at people because my napkins … Continue reading Homemade wedding favours

I wish it would surprise you if I told you that I still have a wedding present to finish making for my sister who got married in May. (I wish it would surprise me too.) I did give her most of her presents at the time, but I had an idea to pretty up some … Continue reading A photo a day: August 28th

A very important arrival

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
