Happy Earth Day! 🌎

I thought the final piece of the Heart Collection would be a great way to share my part in Earth Day, just look at those earthy tones!

But that’s not what Earth Day is about, it’s about how we restore Our Earth.

As a small business I use all avenues to be environmentally friendly, sourcing only ethical suppliers, using recyclable packaging, and of course, growing lots of plants! 🌱

I would love to hear more suggestions about how to reduce our impact on the planet💚

When you meet a customer and a journey begins…

Let’s rewind time to a rainy day in December, I’m sat on my market stall on a much quieter day than usual. A customer is browsing my work, she’s interested in a small wall hanging and would like to personalise one for herself to take home to London. We start discussing her commission, spending time chatting about the matching of colours, size and what the wall hanging would represent.

After a little time we have the basis of a lovely wall hanging and the customer says the best line “I will leave the rest up to you” this is a trust that I appreciate immensely!

I set out on a brighter day to the local beach to collect driftwood. It’s such a treat living so close to the seaside. Driftwood from the Jurassic Coast also adds an element of souvenir.

Setting aside time to zone into macrame is important to me, making sure my studio is tidy and free of clutter. I always sketch my plans out, giving myself more time to focus on the detail during the making and trying to minimise cord wastage. Of course, things change along the way and that’s fine!

The design had only one specific request, a small heart in the centre of the hanging. The heart represents family and love, in memory of her mother who lived by the Jurassic Coast. It’s a huge honour to make a token of memory for the customer to take home.

I’m so pleased to have met this customer and she was very happy with the piece, so happy that she ordered another one… and another… and one more after that!! All coming soon! 🌱

This design is from my first macrame experimenting days, still in love with the detail 💙

Part 3 of a custom order, the final piece to complete the deep blue, grey and natural collection.

Thanks to the speedy Royal Mail, this collection have arrived in their new home. Can’t wait to see pictures!

It’s match perfection...

Matching coasters to your plant hanger or wall hanging gives your home that little bit extra! ♾

These babies are part 2 of a recent custom order. I used the extra cord from over estimating the length for a triple hanger! Love using my scraps for projects like coasters ♻️

Happy New Lockdown!

So I’m back to being indoors with all the time and extra large spools I need to create magic.

If you’re considering picking up a new hobby now is the time - practice does make perfect - BUT in my experience it definitely helps to have a passion for it. So find your calling and let this difficult time push you to pick up a paint brush or some crochet needles or a harmonica and GO WITH THE FLOW...

You’re all amazing people and we have to stick together as a community!

If anybody has any questions about starting up - please ask! Feeling pretty wise with my balancing skills 🦉

Pinch me because I must be dreaming...

Here they are - all 3 shades hanging in this beautiful barn over a table that’s surely been set in heaven!

Seeing my coasters making the perfect connection between this table and the shades makes me so happy.

Somebody marry me so I can live this dream!

TIDY SPACE = TIDY MIND

Storage is key to making a space feel relaxed. I keep my mess tidy...

Here I have hidden some junk behind the big spools & have got plenty of crap in the drawers!
