I want to thank everyone who came out to support me last night – the show turned out just perfectly and I couldn’t have asked for more. Everyone I spoke to was having a great time, the displays all turned out beautifully, my best friends…
I’ve been working a lot with this idea of preserving the leaves from the absolutely stunning autumn we just had – and I won’t lie to you, there are so many piles of FAIL around the house from earlier versions that today I threw away…
So here I am, almost done production. I’m trying to get my head in order. The show is 90% complete, and I can honestly say that it represents some of the best work I’ve ever done. A lot of the techniques I used in the…
So the show is only 10 days away – I can’t believe it. I’m still in production, though definitely approaching the end. Today I wanted to share the latest woven bracelet, this one is in delicate greens, yellows and earthy colours, inspired by a beautiful…
Enough about jewellery! Though I have some lovely new pieces coming soon I wanted to take this opportunity to share some of the pottery that will be in the Pre-Christmas craft sale on November 24th. This dinner plate was hand painted – inspired by Mt.…

At the KW Knitters Fair I met an artist who dyed her own wool. Her name is Emily and she has an Etsy shop under the name Viola Viola. I fell in love with a colourway of hers called ‘Graphite’ and purchased a skein –…
When Kris and I were in Hawaii, (what a strange place to think of cold-weather drinks) I came up with an idea for combining two of my loves into a cute, comfy drinking vessel that would feel cozy in your hands when filled with hot…
Today I wanted to share some of the knitted work I’ve been producing for the show, these are 5 of my knitted handwarmers. Each one is my own original pattern, (written specifically so I could avoid the use of DPNs…. the horror!) and is lovingly…
