I have been more than a little excited to share with you a closer look at my very first Crafts at The Little House with Whitewood and Linen workshop. And so here today are photos, some not yet shared and words which I hope portray a little of the magic of that very special day […]
Recently I was gifted a beautiful Easter embroidery pattern by the extremely talented Jane @summerhousesewing. As well you know by now, I am inspired by a great many stitchers and embroiderers on Instagram and I have followed and admired Jane’s work for sometime. I do get a buzz when she posts and I will seek […]
A tale of two halves today. For the first, I have turned all alchemist and tried my hand at something quite process driven which turned out to be a most calming way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon. And for the second half an opportunity to return to my flighty, perhaps more intuitive style of […]
Sometimes it is the simplest ideas which are the best and thankfully the month of February calls for nothing more challenging than hearts. And since I have much to do surrounding forthcoming craft workshops – more exciting news of that soon – I feel no need to reinvent the wheel; hearts with a generous dash […]

Recently through the wonders of Instagram introductions, I had the pleasure of virtually meeting the artist […]
Mr M and I chat a lot about our planet and never more so than in recent weeks. Amongst other issues we eternally debate my need to wash and reuse plastic food bags, you know the sort, dried pasta, rice, beans, cereals. He believes I’ll never save the planet and I know I won’t. Instead, […]
Do you stitch? Or maybe my question should be do you stitch yet? Regular readers to my blog will know I stitch although, somewhat naively. No two stitches of mine appear the same most days and I sometimes wonder if that which appears before my eyes has been invented in just that very moment. I […]
Mixing the medium is fast becoming my favourite way to craft at The Little House. And although my efforts are still naïve in comparison to the more accomplished mixed media artists out there, I have realised over time, I am thoroughly enjoying learning this craft. And by the way, I don’t tend to any more. […]
