I'm all for recycling, so when a close friend asked me to make some bunting from an old, tired cushion to brighten up her daughter's bedroom, I was more than happy to. The cushion had originally been made from a lovely pink, spotty fabric left over from the curtains in the room. It was just… Continue reading Another happy customer!

Promises, promises…

I had lots of fun a couple of weeks ago taking photos of my friend's beautiful little girl sitting on a gilhoolie beanbag and pouffe (with some bunting in the background). Thank you so much Sandi, I may ask again if that's okay! I know the model looks gorgeous but I'm also hoping these photos… Continue reading Promises, promises…

Two pouffes and a bag…

I've been busy making things to fill my stall next Thursday and  I think I'm nearly there, thank goodness. Here are two of the gilhoolie pouffes. The bright one on the left is made from Amy Butler fabric (I have some left over so will probably make a lampshade with that) and the one on… Continue reading Two pouffes and a bag…

COVID finally got me 🤕😞 I tested positive on Sunday and have been feeling awful, but today is definitely better and I managed to get out in my workshop to make a big drum lampshade, with stitched trim.
Lots of bespoke lampshades neatly wrapped and ready for collection 😁
Uh oh! Great way to wake Daddy up on a Sunday morning. You wouldn't believe how excited she was when I opened the stairgate 🤣🐶
Busy week making this week and next, trying to space it out though as it's too hot in my workshop, especially in the afternoons 🌞That's okay though, Rosie and I have been home alone so we've had some nice quiet time indoors too... She's becoming exceedingly good company 🥰🐶🥰
A couple of weeks ago I ran a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow
