I didn't go to the inaugural Blogtacular in 2014 (I was busy pushing a baby out of my lady parts at the time) but I saw one quote from it repeated time and again: "You will always have more ideas than time... ...and that's alright." It resonated with me as much as it clearly resonated … Continue reading On the blog: plans for 2016

At Blogtacular
Conferences don’t tend to be my cup of tea. For a start, the cups of tea are always tiny. You have to drink at least three to equal a normal mug size. But it’s not the tiny teas that are the worst thing. Not by a long shot. It’s all the bloody networking. It reminds … Continue reading At Blogtacular
The torture of Sisyphus…
I’ve been in a bit of a blogging slump recently. I won’t bore you with the overall existential ponderings. (Brief summary: but what is my blog for? *Scratches head, spends months trying to come up with the answer*) Coupled with that has just been a basic lack of things to write about. When I started … Continue reading The torture of Sisyphus…
On writing (and blogging)…
I’m going through one of those phases where I’ve forgotten how to write. It's a phase that's not uncommon to me, as someone who has made their crust for the past 15 years with writing in one form or other (journalism / editing / communications / whatever the particularly tedious brand of writing is called … Continue reading On writing (and blogging)…
Styled: an Ikea jug
Last year I took a blogger’s photography course with Emily Quinton (you can read more about it here: Make light photography workshop). Last month, Emily set all her past students a challenge to take an object and style it three ways. It was a challenge I really wanted to take part in: styling is the … Continue reading Styled: an Ikea jug

Everyone taking part answers three questions about creativity and then nominates two of their favourite bloggers to do the same. Follow on down the trail and find some wonderful new blogs... You can see Laura's answers from … Continue reading Blog hop
Making stuff and pootling in the garden
Back in November last year I took part in a blogging course run by Holly Becker of Decor8 (www.bloggingyourway.com). At the end of the month-long course, Holly chose six blogs to critique and produced a screencast looking at those blogs. Guess what? My humble little Wolves in London was one of those blogs! Yes, that’s … Continue reading Making stuff and pootling in the garden
Things I’ve learnt: blogging
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 31st
AKA the last day! So this is it, people, my very last photo of the day. My last contribution to the August break. This is me. Collapsed in bed, my hand resting on my weary brow. A subtle photographic representation of how absolutely bloody exhausted I am from posting a photo (or sometimes more than … Continue reading A photo a day: August 31st
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
