I wish today had been as sunny as when I took this photo out in stoke newington because today I spend ages (absolutely ages) getting to Bermondsey and then it pissed it with rain, I got soaked, the thing I was aiming for was closed and then my boss rang and told me off haaaaa. ⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ #thesimpleeveryday #shared_joy #ofquietmoments #asecondofwhimsy #thesincerestoryteller #distractionsandinspirations #calmversation #theslowdowncollective #thatvelvetfeeling #quietchaotics #thatsdarling #darlingmovement #cityliving #citylife #london #simpleliving #livesimply #pursuepretty #thehappynow #flashesofdelight #londonlife #londoners #prettycitylondon #lovelondon #timeoutlondon #londonist #londonbylondoners #mylondon

This picture is from yesterday afternoon when I was having a good cup of tea, knitting the cosy socks and starting to feel the need for Spring. . . . #onmyneedles #moodboard #knittedsocks #thecozysocks #cupsinframe #teaandwool #teaandseasons #knitterlife #ourmakerlife #momentsofmine #stilllife_archive #tv_living #quietchaotics #aseasonalshift #slowlived #mycreativebiz #wearethemakers (at Milan, Italy)

The table laid for our weaving workshops at @ifeelsmug yesterday - this is the personalised weaving pack that each participant took home with them, along with wool from my collection. It includes a handmade loom by @tobgam, bobbin, shuttle, shed stick, dowel poles, warp bundles, needle and instruction booklet by yours truly. And with a handy tote bag to carry it all home in! I had a fantastic time teaching this class, and I got to spend four hours talking about one of the things I love most in the world... #winning. And there are just a few spots left on my next class in April- book via @bezalelworkshops.
