I was recently set a bit of a challenge – to create some personalized bunting for brother and sister twins. The challenge was in finding a design that would be girly enough and boyish enough to appeal and to use colors that would work together in a shared room. Tough but I do love a […]
I’ve recently finished some handmade crochet bunting for Maddox – giraffe style! I originally designed the giraffe for a special commission last year for brother and sister, Bug and Boo, who had an African themed bedroom. As well as a giraffe I designed a zebra! This giraffe is super special and just for the very […]

I’ve just finished a special order for a young lady I met at the ‘Handmade with Love’ craft fair in Tunbridge Wells a couple of weeks ago. She chose a lovely blue owl hat for her cousin and had been saving her pocket money up so she could buy one for herself. But, her lovely […]
I have had a very longstanding love affair with Cath Kidston. I love the vintage feel and the colour palette used through their products –the gorgeous clashing colours alongside muted shades make my heart sing! I took a little time out from making Christmas orders this week to crochet something for my little person. You […]
