Sugar & Cloth: DIY Geometric Coasters

It’s time for a new DIY project over on ever pretty Sugar & Cloth and this time I’ve effectively made a puzzle for grown ups. These geometric coasters can be used individually for drinks or slot together to make a patterned trivet tray for serving.

Styling The Seasons: November

This month has been manic which I haven’t kept a secret from any one. It’s left me totally overwhelmed most of the time and feeling like I’m doing a very bad job at juggling 20 balls in the air. My November Styling The Seasons shots hopefully give you a peak inside my head with things…

If you love stationery as much as I do (and I know lots of you do) then you’ll probably get a little heart flutter to learn about these monthly subscription boxes, filled with premium notebooks, art supplies and creative…

new to the Etsy shop

Since arriving back from Budapest it very feels like it’s time to take the bull by the horns and throw myself head first into the run up to Christmas. I can’t live in denial any longer. To kick things off I’ve added a bunch of new products to the shop! I’m excited to reveal a new…
