Crafting is something I love but don’t do nearly enough of – there are just not enough hours in the day to do all the things I enjoy and still get plenty of sleep each night! But recently I went to the Viking Arty Party for bloggers hosted at The Gallery at Lumiére London, where I … Continue reading
Flower arranging isn’t something I’ve ever given much thought to outside of the days I’ve headed out to Columbia Road in search of fresh blooms to breath some life into our tiny flat. But the other week the guys at Homesense hosted a workshop for bloggers to learn more about floral arrangements, so I figured … Continue reading
My mom has always loved to sew, and when I was small I spent many hours playing under her sewing table while she crafted. I loved the afternoons we spent together at the fabric store, picking out materials and patterns for my school clothes and playtime costumes, and I always felt special when she took my creative … Continue reading

There are two things I really love and, if you gave me either as a present, you really couldn’t go wrong: statement jewellery and nail polish.
