I know I said I would be back next week, but I forgot one thing – this is the show I am at next weekend in Dorset. It looks like being a lovely event with some fab designers and lovely surroundings. I hope I’ll get chance to see the sea too. I do miss it.I’ll…

I’m working pretty much all the time at the moment, getting tonnes of stock ready for all the shows I’m doing which start next week! I enjoyed doing new stuff last week, but back to the production line now, making lots of scarves & cushions, and tomorrow, some more bags. In the meantime here are…

Oh how I love designing new things. I’m not the only one. I’ve made a few new things over this year, but it’s been a long time since I designed a whole series of things with a very specific purpose. My current collection samples were done around January of this year and I’m working on…

I’ve just heard that this book is out now. I did an apron pattern for it. My copy hasn’t arrived yet, but I took a look at the book on Amazon, and one of the scanned pages was my apron pattern! I’m not so sure about the photo… I didn’t expect my pretty apron to…

I am at last in my new home, new studio, and frankly, quite new life. The move was as bad, if not worse, than expected. It took a huge van, two days and about 7 people. Still, it’s over now, and I am settling in fine.I am thoroughly enjoying having a proper studio out of…

I have just cancelled a day out in London visiting exhibitions and meeting friends. This is seriously boring, but I have too much packing, working and sorting to do before I move in 48 hours time. I now feel like I have a free day in which to make myself something lovely and lounge around…

I’ve been enjoying some good press recently, and sharing the magic where I can.I wrote my first post for Whip Up last week on my favourite stuff from Origin week one. I’m working on a post for week two and enjoying the excuse to look at some nice websites. My angle is looking at British…

This is a little taster for something that I have just made – this photo shows a work in progress, and all going well, I will show you the whole thing before long. This is a little work project that I have had to squeeze in between packing and sorting and organising my move. I’m…

I’m in the midst of house / studio moving but gave myself a little treat time to make this cuff for Whiplash October accessories competition. It is yet another thing in my favourite style, with felted scales in the seams, like the pincushion I did a couple of weeks ago, and an ever-expanding range of…

Hi all.I’m back. Last week was a loooong week. Origin was interesting. The three pieces selected looked great, but really I wanted to be showing a lot more of my work to communicate what I am about. It was cool to have been selected and be showing under the Crafts Council banner, but I wanted…
