Apple and Acorn

Throw back to one of the first patterns I designed. This has always been popular in my Etsy shop and I’m so grateful to everyone that has purchased this pattern and helped me on my way to becoming a designer.

Hello there April, happy to see you 🌼💛🐥

I love this time of year, it means more time outdoors, gardening, walking, picnics and soaking up the sun (hopefully!)

I have lots of ideas buzzing around for the patterns I’m planning to publish this year and spring really motivates me 🌸

Spring is my favourite time of year. The garden is slowly waking up, the birds are singing and the days are longer 🌞

Easter is just around the corner and I love to fill the house with flowers and decorations 🌸🌼🐣

Two years ago I was in Paris making a programme about Marie Antoinette. These items, which didn't make the final cut but which tickled my fancy greatly, were on display at the Conciergerie prison at the time.

They're supposedly MARIE ANTOINETTE'S KNITTING NEEDLES.

We visited Nottingham Castle this week to see the Paul Smith exhibition.

We chatted with a lovely guide, saw the Nottingham lace exhibit and were impressed with the recent renovations.

I would love to go for another look before it ends in February.

Wow, December already. Where has the year gone?!
