When I last went to Greenwich Market (the best craft market ever), I picked up *lots*, from a lovely fabric birthday crown to honey oat soaps, from rainbow macarons to wooden bracelets. The best finds though were these art cards by Daniel Mackie @the_dmc_daniel - whimsical scenes of nature, watercolour cards inspired by Japanese prints, Art Deco and the Arts and Crafts Movement. So full of personality are these creatures, we had initially only chosen a couple. They were intended as greeting cards of course, but I carefully cut them around and made them into a paper garland hanging above a door.5 days ago -
Well chuffed with how this turned out. Thanks @crafty_cc and @woolnhook for your bright and colourful book A Modern Girl's Guide to Granny Squares.2 weeks ago -
I've been into papercraft recently. As a graphic designer, brilliant illustration is gold dust that I need scattering around the house. We ran out of wall space long ago, so I've been turning great illustrations into paper garlands that I can hang off the ceiling 😘. Adobe have a free section in their stock library where I found this whimsical sea story the other day, printed them on card, and sewed them together.3 weeks ago -
We spent an entire day in Burano despite it being such a small town, the colours just draw you in and keep a hold of you in wondrous ways, as if you can't escape this joyous candy-like reality. My head spins at the thought of having to decide one one single colour for our house if we lived there.3 weeks ago -

The epic Casa Milà, or La Pedrera, and Sagrada Familia through an arch and up close. This was a private residence designed by Gaudi more than a century ago - can you imagine living there? I did and almost didn't come back ❤️ all this while my husband and 3yo chose to not climb nine flights of stairs and instead nap outside on a bench. Best me time ever. This design and architecture style is called Modernista, it's as if he took art nouveau and gothic and made them his own. #designandarchitecture #modernism #gaudisbarcelona #barcelona #gaudí #gaudi #casamila #lapedrera #sagradafamilia1 month ago -
So much love for and from this child. We played hide and seek here and her face was alight with joy. #gaudisbarcelona #gaudí #gaudi #parkguell #barcelona #loveis1 month ago -
Gaudí's Park Güell in Barcelona is my heaven, such a place of great delights. Exceptional design and architecture, working with and for nature herself to tell a story of modernism ~ mosaics, angles and curves, colours, flowers, music, sun and sea that make an irresistible cityscape. What a great man he was, such an oasis he's left us. #gaudi #barcelona #gaudisbarcelona #designandarchitecture #colourfuldesign #mosaicart #modernism #artoutdoors #outdoorart #cityscape #bestpark1 month ago -
Four years ago we went on a cruise to make a baby at sea, what a dream to go back with the baby herself 💙 #mediterraneansea #cruise #baby #thisishappy #traveler #loveforthesea #loverofthesea1 month ago -
Throwback to the amazing design that is this headband from @sophieninaart, psychedelic, luminous, pure chromatic joy inducing pattern that I could easily cover my walls in. And mine and Nina's matching #grannygoroundcardigan and #grannygoroundjumper from brilliant @iron_lamb which I crocheted last year and we both still wear them like mad. It's so humbling to hear her say "mummy made this for me". #imadethis #handmadecrafts #crochetlove #designandcraft #womenwhodesign #womenwhomake #womenwhocreate2 months ago -
