Hello, thanks for visiting my blog. I am a forty-something mum living in Cornwall with a husband, two children and 6 rabbits.I have a background in textiles, and have always made things.I am inspired by bold shapes,colours, folk art, and the human figure including dolls.I also love collecting fabrics, ceramics and unusual things!
I also love baking and have an (unfulfilled) desire to live a simpler more self sufficient life.
All the work on my blog and in my shop is original, unless otherwise stated. Please do not copy any of my designs, or use any photographs without my permission. You can however link back to my posts using the sharing tool!
