  • When things don’t go to plan…

    I’ve been a busy bee in my sewing room over the last couple of weeks, trying to clear the decks a bit! One project I have managed to complete is my alphabet of birds fabric book. I’ve been stitching the letters over the last ten months, I had a nice stack of embroideries, all I […]

    Think of this as a note from an older sister: honest, kind, and never pretending to have everything figured out. I hope you’ll find something here that makes you feel understood, encouraged, or a little less alone.
