It’s Sunday evening, and the weekend’s been great, but still I must admit to feeling a bit worn out, and not quite ready for a new week. Unstructured time, away from the To Do list, has been pretty rare this year, and I think I’m not the only one who feels that 2013 has got …

I’ve been scrapping
No, I haven’t been meeting rivals behind the bicycle shed for a punch-up, actually. I’ve been attacking my pile of magazines with scissors and glue, which is much more my cup of tea. I’ve been doing it for years now: tearing out pics that I love, and then when I have time and space to …

At home
I suppose it’s been wintertime, and days have been short, but it feels like forever since I prowled around, snapping pics of our home. I did it today with my phone and Instagram, and although the pics really do look better on a phone, I quite like their mood.

I forgot to mention…

I also made a new little friend, called …

Emma’s Box Ottoman
This Before/After project was featured on Design*Sponge last week (thanks, Kate & Grace!), and here’s a bit more detail: On the landing at the top of the stairs of my childhood home lived a padded wooden trunk, known as the ‘box ottoman’, covered in a crochet blanket, and smelling of mothballs.

Animation WIP
Stop-motion animation is painstaking, back-breaking work. I did know this when I embarked on making a little promotional animation for my Flower Dreams launch (coming up 18 April), but I can be very blind to the facts when convenient. So, in marvellously gung ho style, I made a start. And, of course, once I’d started, …
