Hanging out with creatives doing what they love always gives me a boost and having Kelly and Trev in town this weekend has been wonderful timing. I’ve been getting some thoughts together about what I want to do when we get home and having the chance to talk it through has cemented some ideas in [...]
I’ve been loving all the Dutch blogs I’ve been coming across lately. There is so much inspiration and a beautiful aesthetic that seems to abound here. I love that it seems like such a close knit community – a lot of these girls are close friends and I’ve started chatting to a few as well [...]
A couple of weekends ago Joline and I shared a stall at the Swan Market XXL edition. I’ve been to a few Swans in my time in Rotterdam but this was the extra large edition! It was on the beautiful striped ground at Musuem Park and apart from the torrential downpour at 12 that left [...]
I’ve been busy busy drawing and cutting these last few days getting ready for the Swan Market this weekend. For all you Rotterdammers it is at Musuem Park from 12noon and it’s the XXL Edition so it’s going to be even bigger and better than normal! I am crossing fingers and toes and hoping that [...]
Capturing travel memories is one of my favourite things to journal. Using a beautiful handmade journal from my very clever Mum I’ve been slowly working on a photo book/journal of our Europe adventures. Constantly evolving, little pieces get added every time I pick it up and find new things to add to make each page [...]
It’s been a bit of a hibernation weekend in our little neck of the woods. This however has meant some dedicated art time which I’ve been craving as of late.

I’m a bit of an obsessive journaller. It’s what keeps me sane when I feel the urge to create and don’t have an immediate project in front of me or am too tired to work on anything intricate. It’s something that I have in common with my Mum and Pop and having all these family [...]
Alliteration aside, papercuttings really do make a special gift for someone. I’m more than happy to make a personalised papercutting for whatever occasion you have in mind; weddings, birthdays; brand new babies. These one of a kind, hand cut papercuttings look even better in person. I’m happy to ship anywhere in the world and the [...]
Last weekend was the cultural evening of the year here in lovely Rotterdam. Rotterdamse Museum Night was so hyped up and so many people had raved to us about it that once we got the tickets I was so excited for it to come round. A night full of art; museums; bars; DJ’s; drinking in [...]
The Louvre is a must. It’s huge and busy and overwhelming and hot inside but it is also the biggest, most famous museum in the world for a reason. Three hours is generally enough in my opinion, perhaps after that you might feel like a picnic in the beautiful gardens outside underneath a statue [...]
