made to order.....

I've been busy working a few commissions;


This is a boy's scarf order from a friend in Switzerland, handknitted in black + grey twist with lime green stripes. It's a short scarf where one end goes through a loop, so there aren't long ends to worry about.

A canvas commission for a friend who had twins, Hattie and Ted, made from pre-loved fabrics and hand stitched onto canvas.














I was given a top by a customer which her daughter used to wear when she was little. She really liked the print and it had sentimental value so I made some bunting, a corsage and a canvas using that fabric. Now my customer has a unique collection which is special to her and her daughter, instead of packing the top away.

imagine children's festival at Southbank Centre

There's a fantastic looking festival for kids for this half term fun at the Southbank Centre. From Charlie Higson reading aloud from his latest adventure story book to Arlene Philips talking about dancing to South Asian Kathak dancing and traditional Indian mythology... and ending with a puppet show of Polly Dunbar's brilliant story "penguin"...p p perfect!!!
Some are events are free, but it's such a lovely place to take kids to anyway at any time....even if you just go for cake and tea!!! 

shoe box tower block

This is brilliant!!! A "tower block" of "rooms" made from shoe boxes by Kids Company in the window at the Royal Festival Hall
