instagramming the week

This week has been the usual mix of work, family, story writing, story telling, going to the park instead of going to bed, and wearing cat socks. With a little bit of Christmas thrown into the mix! Continue reading

a little bit of press

Before I show you some exciting things I must apologise for my lack of blog posts this week. I think I definitely underestimated the school holidays. Working with two little ones around all day is tough and something had to... Continue reading

A Friday ritual. A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. ~ inspired by SouleMama Continue reading

Hello lovelies! I need a couple of volunteers to receive a free personalised Father's Day heart. Anyone up for that? I need to photograph two different versions of the large hearts and I don't want to make ones that are... Continue reading

LOVE this comment Anna! You are totally right - there are no more minutes. And if there are it is to do things like have a shower, which if we're lucky will be in a bathroom with no children chattering away at you whilst you're in there. And so it goes. Good luck with the knitting samples - you can do it, you're a superstar xx

Ha ha!! I'm glad that I don't appear frantic all the time :) 1000 words a day is amazing Cally! My husband is a writer so I know just how tricky it can be - especially with a little one!

Ha! Exactly the same here. Matilda's at school & Theo's at nursery and all I can think is "Oh it' so quiet, I miss them!" Ooh and I keep meaning to tell you - my neighbour went to one of your classes a couple of weeks ago (quilted cushion) and absolutely loved it xx

Hi Jo, how exciting! I love being that role model for my children. My parents were the same when we were growing up and I think we've benefitted from it a lot. Good luck with you journey - I bet you'll do amazingly :)

Awww! Thanks Jade! I think I'm just ploughing through like all the other mums & dads. But I'm very glad you like my work, thank you x

I often wonder if that squeezing it all in will ever stop! Even when the kids are older I bet they'll still be a million and one things to cram into every day. Good luck Alissa - we can do it :)

just in case you thought it was easy

Running, and attempting to grow, a business with a young family is difficult. I don't suppose for a minute that anyone thinks it's easy, but as I was going about my day I got to thinking about the reality of... Continue reading
