A lovely little pastel confection! I love custom work, as it is a breath of fresh air to work with new ideas for colour combinations I wouldn't usually be drawn to.

✶This hanger is for a gorgeous, girly little lady, and I think she has a fabulous eye for colour, don't you think? 💜✶

☀️My most fave candles ever arrived today!! I have been dreaming of these @soulshinesurprise Gingerbread candles since I got my first one last year. They smell so so delicious, fill the room instantly (I could smell these through the parcel this morning!!) and last for ages! I hope Alisha doesn't mind me putting this on here, I just haven't had a candle since xmas and I forgot just how lovely it is to treat yourself to something pretty and sweet 🧡

You can also find some beautiful special botanical candles with hidden healing crystals, which I think would be a gorgeous immersive experience to meditate to as these candles are the perfect balance of room filling scent without being overpowering 🌸 plus all of @soulshinesurprise creations are eco friendly and vegan too 🍓

🕯Thank you for reading my excited rant about my lovely new candle!🕯

🍑I am so in love with this photo of my large size hangers! When I was making this latest batch I kept picking up the same colours over and over, peach, mustard gold and rust. So they are all much of a muchness! It sort of reminds me of a summer desert vibe 🍑

🍊My pattern for these is available now! What colours would you make one in? Are any of you hung up on a certain colour pallet at the mo?🍊

🍊My Chameleon Wall🍊 🍓I love to play aroun

🍊My Chameleon Wall🍊 🍓I love to play around styling this part of my bedroom. This wall gets the best light in the house, and makes a perfect neutral backdrop for photos.
I never put up anything permanently, everything needs to be drag-away-able and there are 1000 little holes in the wall but the Snapseed app healing tool makes light work of them!🍓 ☀️I was feeling very uninspired these past weeks and I think it was because all my lovely wool was behind closed doors, so these wire storage shelves were the perfect solution. Light to move around and not too imposing, it has such a cheery sight to walk in to this week! Yay for the healing power of colour (and wool)!☀️

🍏Saying hello to new faces and prepping for a giveaway!🍏 🌎So this lovely custom blanket is heading across the pond as we speak! I'm so excited for the new owner to receive it but I do get nervous whenever I pop something in the post incase they don't like it.. Imposter syndrome big time over here.🌍 🍓I am also prepping for a giveaway to celebrate reaching 1000 subscribers!
👋•Hello to the new peeps who found me through the ever gorgeous @gimme_kaya this week, and thank you so so much for the support from all the groovy bods who have followed me along the way too, it really means so much to me!♡•🍓 🍊I can't wait to be treating a few of you lovely people with a giveaway so stay tuned 👀 🍊

I think this quote sums up this situation for me,

I think this quote sums up this situation for me, "I understand that I will never understand, but I stand". I've honestly struggled with how to convey my thoughts, as so many have done it so much more eloquently than I ever could, but I also didn't want to be silent here.

🍓 A little part of my granny chic corner 🍓

🍓 A little part of my granny chic corner 🍓

I'll soon be ready to show you all of my latest bunch of creations, and also (finally!!) my patterns!
This is one of my favourite little corners in the house, I have collected vintage cross stitch for years but I read The Magic of Tidying Up a few years back and whittled them down to my absolute faves.
Honestly - I kinda miss having LOADS of them - I'm a greedy gal in general but I do enjoy the chill that comes with the less is more vibes. Not being able to have a peep in charity shops for a few months has got me itching to have a good rut too - you always want what you can't have 🧵

🍓Still beavering away at this pattern over here

🍓Still beavering away at this pattern over here, grabbing any spare second for myself in the constant merry-go-round that is having my 3 darling children at home all day.

This project is constantly on my mind and my self imposed deadlines come and go despite all this energy I'm putting in - and yet progress is underwhelming. Anyone else struggling with this with their projects?

I'm chaotic at the best of times, but this is taking the cake. I need cake. Send cake! Please! 🍰🍓

🍄Getting some final touches put on my Retro Pla

🍄Getting some final touches put on my Retro Plant Hanger pattern!🍄
I'm such a perfectionist, this project is taking me foreverrr. I'll be so glad when it is finished and listed as I am bursting with ideas that I'm itching to get on with, but I've vowed to complete this first before I can start anything new! I never thought I would find myself weighing a tassel but here we are, and I love it.
☀️ Summer 2020 collection coming soon!! 👀☀️
