Summer has decided to exit early it seems. The glorious hot days have slowly dwindled into wet grey skies and sadly, I’m not entirely sure it will recover in time for Autumn to wave it’s hello’s. Running has taken up a lot of my time. No doubt those who follow me on Instagram, Facebook and...

Back from my sisters wedding
If you’re linked on one of my social network platforms, you’ll have noticed a few photos and comments about my recent travels to South Africa to attend my sisters wedding. I have been rather quiet with blog posts, but I have been equally busy with plans, packing, new temp job, packing, interviews for a permanent...
Forever Spring Garden overview
Firstly, I want to thank everyone who ordered one or two things in my shop over June. The final total raised for Lisa turned out to be £350! Lisa is a rather extraordinary person and sure does deserve as much love and support anyone can give. My sister has had cancer many times from starting...
Summers here! Hooray!
We’ve had a bit of a heat wave this week. It has been GLORIOUS! For me, nothing says “Summer” more like a watermelon. It brings back childhood memories of watermelons floating in the pool whilst we were all playing a game of seeing who could get to the pool in the shortest amount of hops from...
Two favourites
Following my last blog post Rainbow Cloud *Card Purse I’d put the purse on my shop listings and within minutes of the post being published, the purse was sold! Thank you – the proceeds of this will also be going to my sister. I’ve had requests for more another. So you can see what I’ve been...
Rainbow Cloud *Card Purse
“Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud” – Maya Angelou So I’ve come to an end of a stressful situation. It’s not often I make a stand for myself, but when I do, I find it incredibly hard and believe me – it has to be a particularly hard push to get me to that...
Something bright for the light in your life ☀️
Looking for a little Summer fun? Look no further than the Candy Stripe *Card Purse. This sweet purse will suit any age. Sweet and simple. Another purse inspired by a beautiful find on a jog – a whole hedge covered in hues of pinks, oranges, purples and yellows. I just had to try replicate the display. Isn’t it pretty? From...
Something different
I wanted to try something a little more “arty”, after all crochet is an art form. A “Let the creative energy flow and see what I could come up with” idea. I started, unlike with the other purses, with the fabric! I loved this fabric – grey with little specs of reds / yellows / peaches here and there....
Red Daisy *Card Purse
So the Red Daisy *Card Purse didn’t start out as a daisy purse. I had an email from an old school friend asking if I would be able to make a purse with a dancer on it. She had in mind a red purse with a couple or a girl jiving on the side as...
Bianca’s Birthday *Card Purse
One of my biggest fans, fellow scooter enthusiast and good friend had her birthday recently. She arranged a birthday brunch but unfortunately I was really unwell at the time and couldn’t go. Disappointingly, I apparently missed a fabulous day and fabulous food & prosecco “elevensies”. I’m not too sure which I was more disappointed about though,...
