| More About Me | I am a mother, nature lover, traveller, ex- sustainability professional, and compulsive maker of things. Born and raised in London, I now live by the sea in Bondi Beach, dividing my time between my family, sewing, swimming, and cliff walking with friends. I am inspired by the natural world, my young son, memories of my own idyllic childhood, and children's literature. |
| My areas of expertise that apply to handmade business: | I am in a process of re-learning the sewing, embroidery, crochet and designs skills once taught to me by my aunt, an incredible artist and teacher at Chelsea School Art. I have no formal training, just a love of creating. |
