Beautiful Things
It’s a rainy day this King’s Birthday in New Zealand. Which means if I sew all day I don’t feel guilty about not being in the garden. Using a pre-loved place mat as a base I built this simple design using preloved dollies and lace found at options. I hope this is inspiring to you.…

Stay in your Bubble!
As promised yesterday I thought I would do something relevant to the start of this year and our key message from our Prime Minister here in NZ. We went into lock down hard and fast and it seems to be paying off. Staying at home and in my bubble is easy for me.

Love your life
Hi there! I thought being in lockdown (in NZ) for the past two weeks I would have done way more creatively, but to be honest, I’ve been too busy, especially with work! Anyway, a long Easter holiday weekend is perfect to have enough time to start to create. So I just made this up as…
