Jumpers & jewellery

The Guardian says that one way to update your wardrobe for winter is to team a statement necklace with a plain sweater. Well aside from the fact that I’ve been doing this with my own jewellery for years, darling, they’ve got a very good point.

A lot of people have said to me that they love my jewellery but “just don’t know when they would wear it” – to which my answer is, all the time! Team something really OTT, like my Dazzle necklace (http://folksy.com/items/4011278-Dazzle-reworked-vintage-necklace), with a sloppy grey sweater and leggings and you’ve got a look that will take you all through the shopping day, past afternoon coffee time and into G&T o’clock with no effort at all.

If you're short of inspiration, here's some winning combos for you:


Sweater by M & Co, Duchess necklace


Made With Love necklace, sweater by La Redoute


Sweater by Florence & Fred, Dazzle necklace 


Blushing Roses necklace, sweater by La Redoute

If anyone can help, I'm currently looking for a nice, decently-priced angora jumper, preferably in scarlet or hot pink. Any suggestions?

Look! My craft stall!

Well the craft market at the Midsummer Festival this weekend didn't go brilliantly for me thanks to the rain, but lots of people did take business cards so hopefully they will go home and order online from the cosiness of their houses. But look how pretty my stall looked! And all made on a budget of about 50p, proving that you don't need to spend a fortune on display things: Of course, the highlight for me was lovely Thomas, the Clydesdale horse who had his shoes remade (they were huge! ) and gave small children rides up and down Churchgate. He was adorable.

Review: Hand Lettering A to Z by Abbey Sy

I've been wanting to try my hand at "proper" hand lettering for a while - I often get complimented on my handwriting but when it comes to lettering for journalling or cards I'm never quite as happy with the outcome as I hope to be. So when the lovely folks at Quarto Publishing got in touch with their Autumn catalogue I was thrilled to see how many titles they had on the subject. Hand Lettering A to Z by Abbey Sy is a gorgeous place to start. Abbey's instagram is absolutely lush (follow here here ) and I particularly love her Bangkok photos as we've just returned from there, so I was super excited to be able to have a look at her book. The book takes you through a range of hand drawn fonts, plus has additional chapters on embellishments and a gorgeous gallery of inspiration. See how beautiful? So exciting. I was so excited, in fact, that I totally ignored her advice to get a sharp pencil and a proper table to work at. 'I can do this in

A bright Malta layout with stitching

We had such a lovely time on our recent trip to Malta - and I got lots of photos that I'm enjoying making into layouts and mini albums. This one was taken at the gate to Mdina, where the first season of Game of Thrones was filmed. I didn't realise at the time that Luke was being silly behind me!   I used the Mr Huey double yellow mist from the latest Like For Ever kit to make a sunny background, and stitched sunbeams using the yellow ombre thread from the mixed media add-on. The ephemera was from last month's "In Bloom" kit, but I thought it was so lovely and bright it matched perfectly - I've been dying to use those feathers on something lovely!
