more 70s craft ideas
A few weeks ago I posted photos of some quirky and somewhat strange craft projects from The Book of Creative Crafts (1978). But in the book there are also some projects I really like - so I am posting those here today. What do you think? Would you make any of these? - duvet cover from la...
gosh this is just so inspiring! You continue to give so much food for thought as you constantly stretch to better your life, and share it with us. Thank you for continuing to share your story x

my WDS 2015 takeaways.
I spent last weekend up in Portland for another World Domination Summit. I was there to take a bit of a break and recharge and listen to other people tell their stories. It was inspirational on many levels and I left not ready to "take over the world" but instead to "do better tending to my sm...

Merry Christmas Eve! I will be documenting Ellerie's second year by photographing some mama and baby favorites each month. This is what Elise and Ellerie are doing in December 2014. (And this month I had my prop stylist on hand to help out.) READING : Lizzy & Jane | Numbers Colors Shapes L...

winter's project
I was commissioned to make a collection of project bags for the London knitting store Loop and I spent my winter evenings designing and embroidering them. It really was a good way to spend those cold and dark nights, and even more thrilling to walk to the post office in the spring sunshine t...
I find these posts really interesting & informative - thank you for sharing

how I keep my daily tasks organized.
I have gotten a few questions about how I keep my to-do list organized on a daily basis. I've talked about this a bit (check out this post for the difference between goals & to-do list items), but not since having Ellerie so I figured an update was due. EDIT : you can see how I work through pr...

these days
There are a series of goodbyes and hellos and goodbyes again happening here in our world of late, and it's leaving me feeling rather on the sentimental side. This summer feels more full of those goodbyes than ever before....and yet, when I think about it, I know the goodbyes stared the m...

Do you like colours and inks and papers and shapes? Yes? You need these books on your craft table. A couple of weekends ago I met Anna, who runs Qwerky Home from here in Wellington. Q.H is a funky little shop that stocks homewares, craft supplies and stationery from all around the world... i...

Inspired by the autumn clouds overhead, I made a new batch of baby shoes for my etsy shop earlier this week. This pair is made from Lesley's Maze & Vale hand-printed linen ('stormy weather') and the reverse side has blue and grey stripes. End of the week.... here's a beautiful song to listen...
well I think it's just lovely - and a lovely start to a new year.. changes and turns in the road. There's something to be said for plodding with a certain sense of anonymity when your life is diverted by small children and a slower sense of being, but now it's your time to be you. Just you - which is wonderful. I truly look forward to following the continuing progression in your life xx

Happy New Year, friends. Hope you had a happy end-of-year break and you found some time to relax. I had a nice holiday with the family, and managed to do some reading, some walking and some thinking. Also I spent time by the sea, including the place you see above, which is somewhere I've been...

house on a hill
Our new house is on a hill, looking out at the coloured rooftops and cabbage trees. It's peaceful up here, I like the sense of perspective and watching the buses trundle past in the morning. The only thing wrong is our internet connection: it's still not sorted out so I'm not able to post ...

It was my birthday last week, and among some other gorgeous things, I was given this wish necklace from Helen. It's a tiny glass bottle containing dandelion seeds from her home garden. Like H, I'm a weed/wildflower fan and the idea of carrying some tiny seeds around my neck appeals greatly....

This week's pattern is even later than usual. Wasn't here on Friday, or Saturday. Sunday is a good day. It's bright and sunny, and the lawn is covered in tiny daisies, which obviously sparked the idea for today's design. I was also thinking of small-scale Laura Ashley kitchen wallpaper- I thi...

These plants (mustard flowers?) are growing along the road where we walk home from school. I love their outrageous yellowness. So I embroidered them, marching around on this stripy linen. I came across this today. Doesn't it look like the most amazing place to lie down and escape your nor...

When I was in Nelson recently I bought some dried lavender from the farmer's market. These little sachets are rather relaxing to make: both the small embroidery worked on linen scraps, and filling them with dried flowers. Lavendery goodness. I am thinking about starting a knitting project ...

so lovely, what a great idea. I think the adventures are worth celebrating, so much has changed with the whole idea of Neighbourhood - I am still friends with the girl next door I met when I was two! Like you our kids have had many homes - but they always love a new room, and have lived in different countries, and most likely (like Arlo) wouldn't have it any other way.
