My favourite everyday puffy winter coat is still going strong after 6 years apart from one thing: the padding inside the collar has worn out and split apart so there’s no insulation at the back of my neck. I don’t believe in ‘disposable’ fast fashion and I really like this coat, so I put up […]

recovery clothing for dogs
It’s been a year since my pup Maggie recovered from her surgery to remove a tumour from her shoulder. It was such an exhausting and traumatic time, but she made a full recovery and so far there’s no sign of reoccurrence, and she’s a very happy, healthy and energetic almost-12 year old! Now that things […]

beanbag smartphone stand
I’m so busy these days that I rarely have any time for non-business-related crafting. In fact, I haven’t made anything just for fun since Christmas (and I haven’t yet had a chance to show you that project either!) We took two much-needed days off at the end of last week, and I finally had a […]
