Happy New Year! Let’s get straight to it then…the long awaited grand reveal of our first home improvement. And it all started back in July with some big pieces of wood and a couple of well equipped friends! After a … Continue reading
Season’s Greetings! Hope you’re well? Knee deep in wrapping paper and chocolates I’m sure…
And if you’re not feeling festive yet, perhaps I can get you in the mood with talk of mulled wine, mince pies and…knitting (obvs!)
As you might remember, last year I made some hot water bottle covers for my friend’s shop Captured By.

It’s February. Already. How did that happen?! The whirl-wind that was January has kept me busy and thoroughly distracted by house/flat/shoebox hunting; alas there’s no good news on that front just yet. So today I decided to take some therapeutic … Continue reading
And a Happy New Year to you! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and for those of you who are back to work already, remember… the next bank holiday is only 70 days away. Oh, and just a … Continue reading
Before time runs away with me and I blink and, before I know it, the 2nd of January is upon us, please may I offer you my Season’s Greetings! I hope this finds you all well, and feeling (where applicable) warm, … Continue reading
Yesterday. Was. Brilliant. Sitting proudly at the end of a not so quiet street, with its door flung wide open (despite the cold) is East London’s newest resident…Captured By. Two sisters have set up shop with a collection of products … Continue reading
