dolls



Stitching early in the morning (before the boys wake up) and sometimes late at night tucked up in bed. A time to reflect on life as the stitches grow slowly into dolls.

peacock

I really can't remember how long ago I stitched this embroidery. It was done, photographed for packaging and maybe hung on display at my local shop for a while. It was to be a part of a square for a quilt. But that didn't happen. So rather than gather dust, it's now a purse.

embroidery



It's nice to slow down and stitch. Something simple that doesn't take too much thought. And I'm always a sucker for variegated thread.

quilt

What do you do when your two boys complain that their scooters keep getting scratched sitting in the boot of the car? Make a hand screen printed quilt of course! This lovely now sits in my car separating the scooters and stops the whining boys (and doubles as a handy picnic blanket).

more


These guys have been waiting in a pile to be stuffed. Done now, but not photographed. So you'll just have to imagine. I made the felt on their tummies a few years back with my pal Sarah at a musical festival. We spent a fun few hours learning the art of felting.

colours


I had these panels printed up last month but for some reason (don't ask me, I'm not sure) forgot to load them in the shop. So here's the new mustard and grey winter nest on super soft organic cotton/hemp.
