A bit about Home…

Well hello again! It's been such a long time hasn't it. I thought I would just jump right back in - there's no other way really. Just start. Since last we met, there was the Christmas order rush, Christmas, New Year and another wonderful trip home, which inevitably lead to jet lag and the need to… Continue reading A bit about Home…

One + Four = Life : Desktop, Fire, Streetscape & Hooking

Hi there 🙂 I thought it was about time for another One + Four = Life post. I have been making and photographing and making and photographing these last few weeks, with the view outside my window being as enticing as my studio. I love Autumn. I always have. I have such fond memories of afternoons… Continue reading One + Four = Life : Desktop, Fire, Streetscape & Hooking

Instagram : July Round Up

Friends, can you believe July is over? That's it's August already? Crazy isn't it. This year has moved in fits and spurts for me - sometimes slow, sometimes fast and sometimes at a glacial pace. It doesn't seem that long ago we were booking my flight to New York City - a city I have… Continue reading Instagram : July Round Up

Living up here in the north of Germany means London, Paris, Copenhagen, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Stockholm are little more than an hour away.

Taking Stock : May 2015

It's that time again, if you can believe it! Another month down and in just two more sleeps it's officially Summer time here in the Northern Hemisphere. I'm hoping Hamburg's weather will get the memo - June is often a strange mix of cold, but sunny & humid but gloomy days - with heavy downpours… Continue reading Taking Stock : May 2015

Look Back : April 2015

Having turned over the calendar yesterday, I realised another month has gone. Another month closer to those long, long Summer days, when the sun rises around 5am and doesn't set before 11pm. Pretty crazy how the days turn into weeks and then with a snap of your fingers, another month has passed, isn't it? April saw… Continue reading Look Back : April 2015

Mini break : Oxford

I had never been to Oxford before - and the above photo that I took, not long after we arrived is pretty much what I expected to see in Oxford. From the little I knew - it is a University town. It is old and historic and the two things I really wanted to do… Continue reading Mini break : Oxford
