Featured in Prima Spring Makes

Back in January the queen of styling Selina Lake and the beautiful interiors and still life photographer Sussie Bell came to my house to shoot my craft room.I can't tell you how excited I was and had such a lovely morning chatting all things craft, interior and pretty pastels with the lovely ladies! I then had an interview over the phone with the sweet Melodie at Prima Magazine which resulted in a six page spread in Prima Spring Makes, available now...

"Prima Spring Makes is packed with stunning creatives covering all skill levels, featuring a huge variety of crafts from crochet to card-making and projects for your home. It is fantastic value, at only £3.99 and has over 100 ideas for things to do, all beautifully presented."














Thank you Selina, Sussie and Melodie!

My house featured in N.E.E.T magazine

I am so appreciative of all the press coverage I have got of late, it is such a joy to see my home, crafty endeavours and sweet treats on the pages of magazines and of course Koralee's gorgeous new book "Everything goes with Ice Cream". So today I am sharing with you the lovely feature N.E.E.T. magazine did on my home.

"N.E.E.T. began in December 2005 as a quarterly, online publication, laid out in a magazine format - as a showcase for grassroots creativity. N.E.E.T. is the first of its kind - online, free and packed with everyone from a crafter creating from their kitchen table, to a fashion design graduate straight out of college, to a team of people doing it for the love of it. N.E.E.T. Magazine is the brainchild of Stephanie J. Everything in the magazine is handpicked, designed and organised by her, the editor. N.E.E.T. Magazine is an eco-friendly, grassroots style bible for the digital age."
