I know I’m not the only person who finds the weeks and days leading up to Christmas difficult. It amazes me that some people are in their absolute element organising, planning and carefully wrapping gifts weeks ahead of the big day. I’d love to be that person but this year, once again, I’m chastising myself for being so rubbish at doing Christmas. With just one week to go I’ve barely bought… Source ..read more

I loved both the Homage to the Granny Square and Wallflower courses. I would highly recommend them, mostly because not only are the patterns beautiful and well written, but the videos are gorgeous (more like short films than video tutorials).

Someone once told me I’d never make a living doodling and daydreaming…… I doodle a lot. And I mean A LOT I scribble over everything, especially when I’m thinking, daydreaming, problem solving, on hold to Paypal – AGAIN, or trying to articulate something that doesn’t want to be said. If there’s a pen and piece of paper nearby I’ll scribble all over it…my HMRC letters are particularly pretty. Source ..read more

This blog post is dedicated to all you introverts, fraidy cats and home lovin’ Cancerians. I see you. As a typical introvert I’m happy in the company of good friends and likeminded people, but feel most at ease in my own company. I am, however, acutely aware that if I don’t give myself a poke and a prod occasionally I’m in danger of fossilising inside my carefully constructed shell. Source ..read more

This is a guest blog post by my amazing friend Helen at Albion Nights. How much time do you spend outdoors? Did you know that throughout June The Wildlife Trusts have been running a campaign called 30 Days Wild? The idea behind it is to get us all out into the great outdoors at least once a day, every day for 30 days in a row. Some of us do this every day without any encouragement but there are...
