This coming Friday and Saturday, my clever friend at Felixstowe Indoor Market has created this amazing art trail!

We may not have the Art on the Prom, but we have the fantastic Art Not On The Prom!

I will displaying a couple of my pieces of work at the Felixstowe Indoor Market itself, but I am so excited to have a walk along the trail and see what there is to see!

Hello September!

Springing back into action and we start with the Mind, Body and Spirit Event at Trinity Park, Ipswich on the 12th and 13th of September. It is organised by Life Arts Festivals so make sure to follow them for more details about the event plus tickets info etc.

I’m really excited to take part in this event for the first time! I will be there on the Sunday only and I’m really excited to take all my macrame goodies up with me and show you what I have to offer.

Are you coming along?

I do love a macrame coaster!

They are so fun to make and look so cute and cosy in your home.

When I moved into my studio last year, I remember sitting at my workshop table and thinking “oh, I need some coasters…where should I get them from” only to remember that I can make them myself!

I’ve only made three for the studio so far, I really just make some more!

What colour would you choose for your home?

Massive congratulations to Zala and Megan’s Beauty Boutique on your new salon.

It’s absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend them both for all your beauty needs! I’ve just been in to visit on their big opening day and I was blown away with how beautiful it all looks!

Hello lovely people!

We are off on holiday next week so the studio will be closed for the week. We’re off on our first camping holiday so wish us luck 🤣

I’ll still be about on the socials a bit and I’ll share a bit of what we get up to!

Hope you’re having a lot of fun and enjoying the summer. What have you been doing?

I spend a little bit of time in the studio today and decided to make a couple of new plant hangers!

This is a really simple design but I am obsessed with how they’ve turn out! I made one in Spicy Yellow and one in N**e; both 5mm braided cords from Bobbiny

The N**e plant hanger is slightly shorter than the Spicy Yellow one but both display the plants beautifully.

I asked my daughter what I should call this design and she decided it should be the Twirl Plant Hanger!

They are available for £15 each in my Etsy store and in my studio and lots of colours available.
