Friends Just Know

31st August, 2011
IMG_1101

Do you ever have those days where you know right from the start that they are just going to drag?  The days you buy chocolate on your way to work because you know you’re definitely going to need a pick me up later and it’ll just irritate you having to walk to the shop? ...

Mr & Mrs…?

30th August, 2011
MrsWilson

A friend of mine just tied the knot…and her married name?  Wilson!  I made this bag as a little gift to her on their big day but it can of course be personalised to any new bride.  It’s certainly a name change statement, and the perfect little gift for one of your friends perhaps?!

29th August, 2011

It’s that time again, to pay tribute to some interesting, fantastic and quite frankly, wonderful stuff.  Let’s begin. Websites I love a good craft site and THREADBANGER has everything you would want in one with all it’s creativity linked through to their very own youtube channel.  The world of DIY comes together and shares...

28th August, 2011
IMG_1075

This is a ridiculously indulgent and simple treat I like to make when I want a desert with no effort.  I only thought of making it today when I went into the supermarket to buy something else and saw Carnation’s Dulche de Leche on the shelf right next to it…oh so naughty! I’d like...

28th August, 2011
IMG_5471

Neil and Chloe were married at the end of July.  It was an intimate home-set wedding in the beautiful Cornish hills and everything about the day had personal touches that really bought it to life. Lightly decorated trestle tables filled the marquee and were dotted with jam jars of sweet pea flowers and hand...

In The Month Of May

26th August, 2011
IslaMay

As the weather spits it’s worst at us and the air turns decidedly autumnal…I have just completed a quilt all about the joys of spring!  My timing may be a little off but my reasoning is spot on. I was contacted by a lovely lady named Jo.  Jo was looking for the perfect gift...

LBD…AND QUICKLY!

24th August, 2011
BlackBridesmaid

An old friend from college got in touch via facebook last week with a request for a bespoke bridesmaid dress.  I’d just like to remind you at this point that I have in fact only made one to date and am still lacking in confidence with regards to my talents in making clothes for...

They Only Went & Did It!

22nd August, 2011
EveningInvite

Since I’ve started photographing so many weddings (which you can see examples of HERE) and developing that side of the business people who explore my website get to see what else I can do and have been coming to me with various ‘wedding’ craft projects.  Now that I’m on the slower side of the...

Made Just For You…

17th August, 2011
VintageQuilt

This is my latest creation, but not I might add, by all my own design.  I was approached by the very lovely Natalia who had been collecting fabric pieces with the intention of having them made in to a quilt for her little girl.  I’m both flattered and honoured to say that she asked...

My First Cake!

12th August, 2011
IMG_7642

So it may seem a little far fetched to say this is my very first cake…but in theory it really is!  I’ve only ever made cupcakes from a packet by myself and every other ‘cake like adventure’ has been undertaken with my dear Mother.  In fact I had to borrow the tins from her...
