This is the finished wedding dress I started a few weeks ago. This is a sample dress for a magazine shoot on Friday (fingers crossed!) for a feature on ethical weddings. It’s made from eco sustainable hemp-silk fabric and lined with hemp/cotton muslin. The design is my own, based on 1910s styles developed by the…

I popped out into the garden between the showers yesterday. Ebony came to help.More pics here including newt-spotting in the pond.

Ooh, I got a mention on Whip up today. How nice! I completely forgot that I should have celebrated a year of blogging several weeks ago. This is the faltering start I made on 11 April last year. I actually got my first two posts in the wrong order somehow. I’m completely charmed by this…

I’ve been having a lot of fun making these quilty-things. They are actually potholders for cooking, but I prefer to think of them as mini-quilts, which is so much more fabulous. I’ve never been a potholder kind of person. Mind you, I’ve never been a quilt kind of person either. I like fast results, mostly…

I’ve recently taken the plunge and registered as a supplier…

I’m very excited today – I’ve just heard I’ve been selected for Origin, which the major international show for designer-makers in the UK. I was selected for the new makers showcase last year which was a great start, but there was no guarantee at all that I would get in for my own stand this…

These are interior shots of the lovely exhibition currently on at Bilston Craft Gallery where I have just finished as Maker in Residence. It was great to have two pieces of my work selected for this show and I’ve got a selection of accessories on sale in their shop too. It’s nice to continue my…
