Do it your way.
Sometimes life stops you in your tracks. But sometimes it’s a handy way to look at the view while the lights are on red. To take a moment to see who you are listening to. Is it your own wisdom, the intuition you were born with or the mumblings of other voices ?. Everything weContinue reading “Do it your way.”
Invisible stitching
When I thought about how to neatly wrap up this year in vintage Christmas paper… I found that this memory quilt of a year was made up of precious stitches, invisibly binding each remnant in place to create its magical warmth. A patchwork quilt of a year Simple joyous friendships, and perfect moments wove likeContinue reading “Invisible stitching”
Bad Hair day
Ever have one of those? Ever have a grooming decision turn into another decision, until you find yourself back where you started.. or worse.. ….in a state of hair hell.? Because what you thought was going to be what you wanted, was actually somebody else’s idea of what suited you?. And you naively assumed yourContinue reading “Bad Hair day”

I was a little taken aback recently. It was just a few words, but you know how they can be.

The Blank Page
Where to begin…. Again……. I’ll let you into a secret.. Blank canvas syndrome is an actual thing. Stalling at the moment of creative freedom is the hurdle of almost anyone who ever picks up a brush or a pencil. We imagine ourselves unable to do this massively hard thing which encompasses our genius inContinue reading “The Blank Page”
Fire in your belly..
Lat week my delightful handy man was telling me a story. For Christmas last year he had been given a tin of seeds. They were chilli seeds and he had never gardened before. But he grew them anyway, and regaled to me the tale of the compost, the splitting of seedlings and the abundance ofContinue reading “Fire in your belly..”

Here… Right back where you started This came about recently when my daughter was watching a series of life hacks for kids. It is a great idea, and theContinue reading “The Holy Grail”
