I really believe in the power of our homes. Our environment has a huge effect on our happiness and the happiness of our families (even if they don’t consciously realise it!) and the science backs it up. Home is where we are spending more time than ever before, thanks to COVID. So when that space is

How do we plan now?! How the world has changed in such a short amount of time. I’m writing to you as the the country goes on lockdown in an attempt to stop Covid19 spreading. Although I’m not too worried about the health of my family, I am worried about the vulnerable members of my family and commu
Today, i’m continuing my mini-series about clutter! I shared my simple decluttering method in this post, and this week i’m talking about some of the surprising ways clutter drags us down. If you haven’t read the last post, hop over there now. Before I get into the ways clutter brings us down, I wan
I have been thinking recently about the importance of making space for ourselves, both figuratively and literally. I have recently swum the rather choppy waters of sleep deprivation, crippling anxiety, and a hiccup in our finances. Quite the toxic combination, and one that has resulted in vivid (an
Welcome, October! October is my favourite month of the year (I know, I know I say that about lots of them!) It’s my Birthday month and the most beautiful, colourful, Autumnal month too. I have been taking stock of the last year as my birthday approaches and also finalising plans for the last part
The January Box is the brand new product that I am soft-launching on a presale basis, today! This is my antidote to the January Blues. Part online programme, part online retreat, I have combined the goal-setting parts of my super popular (but now retired) Life book e-course, with the decluttering
October greetings. Oh my! October is my birthday month, and the queen of the Autumn season so I am PUMPED for this month! Mid-thirties, here I come! September has been an adjusting, transitory month for us. We have been feeling our way into a new school year, new routines and new work rhy

I LOVE working with flowers. They bring me so much joy I embrace the imperfection and wildness of nature, and favour a wild, asymmetric look, rather than super neat and curated. The getting of the flowers is itself an enjoyable act, whether that’s selecting blooms from the florist, snipping them fr
After hating it for many years, January has become my favourite month of the year. I have to swiftly state before you click off in bewilderment or disgust, that I used to long for summer and actively hate the cold season, approaching it with a deep sense of dread in the pit of my stomach. I am sensi

In November, Frankie and I collaborated in writing a how-to guide to wreath making that is child-friendly. We got to wear some gorgeous Mama Owl clothes and forage in our field and make together at our kitchen table.
Feeling in a bit of a creative rut with your interior inspiration? We’ve all been there! Someone recently asked me where to find inspiration, and also how to manage inspiration. And I knew exactly what they meant- because we are swamped with inspiration, aren't we?
Spring is a great time for goal setting so I have opened the doors to my Life Book E-Course , which is all about dreaming and planning, and enrolments end tomorrow (Friday) at midnight. I have been emailing my list with some excerpts from the content and my top tips for making and keeping to goals.
Welcome to my February Sunday Supplement. The darkest days of winter are now behind us, and the first crocuses are sprouting in the ground. Spring is but a hair's breadth away! In December we had about 8 hours of daylight. In February this will stretch to 9 hours. Have you noticed? 4pm is so much li
The Sunday Supplement is back after it's unintentional holiday in August, aaand it’s a week late too, which is fairly indicative of our summer! I spent a lot of it offline and it was wonderful, and has taught me a lot about the importance of boundaries when it comes to work and social media. The sum
In collaboration with Habitat. I think gathering and eating delicious food in winter is the very best tonic to winter misery/political woe. The dark evenings make them perfect for candlelit meals and fires. I had a lot of fun pulling this shoot together for Habitat a few weeks ago, and then also en
Last Autumn, I was given the opportunity to co-host a retreat. Initially, I was keen to take the role I was most used too; a background presence making the space beautiful, warm and inviting. But the request was explicit; that I actively head it up, a Seeds and Stitches live, so to speak. At that po

I love the promise of a new year. I love it in the same way I love the promise of a new season, and sometimes a new month, week or even a fresh new morning (especially the frosty mornings we’ve had this week). I like the first page of a new diary, the first sprouts in the soil. P
I first discovered this soup back in 2016 or so and the Seasonal Festivities were very different to what we are faced with this year (I am not crying, promise!) Thankfully, great recipes stand the test of time and so I am resharing this again this year as more than ever, we need some deliciousness
***A quick note to let you know that my Life Book January Chapter e-course (my January Book) closes for enrolment on Monday morning, so there are just a couple of days left to join me to create your own Life Book and make some January goals based on love, that actually stick. It’s only £45 (and w

Hello! Here is my monthly list of wonderful things to make, do and celebrate in the wonderful month of June, albeit a week later than usual. Last week I was busy working at The Nature Sessions retreat (more on that below) so this months Sunday Supplement finds you a little late but I hope it finds y

We collaborated with our landlady to replace the old bathroom and stop the damp and mold problems
I have loved flowers, and anything produced in nature since I was a kid. Being surrounded by nature (inside the house and out!), and working with it was a far off pipe dream for many years. But as 2019 comes to an end, I’m looking back on a dreamy year that has (amongst other things!) been full of m
Meet the result of Lockdown and cabin fever: our new pallet seating area! It really feels like a whole new room has been added to the house. We knew we wanted to create a seating area here but we had a few limitations. We rent so couldn’t make any permanent changes, we had a small budget, and there
Man, I love reading these posts. It’s the same part of me that loves going for a dusk walk and looking in peoples windows (I can’t be alone in that?! right…?!) Anyway- I am always so grateful to others for sharing their year-end reviews, especially when they’re a bit vulnerable and include both pers
Happy November! Autumn in the UK is something pretty darn special. Golden carpets of leaves, bright and chilly, damp and foggy, fierce gusting wind, rainbows and the first frosts, and all against the backdrop of the beautifully changing trees. It’s my spiritual season and i am loving it. November h
The quarter points of the year (March, June, September and December) mark 4 natural points to take a step back and review your life and goals. Quarter point reviews are in everyday parlance in the corporate world- 12 weeks make very good accountability points, and a great project timeframe. But thes
If you’ve been around here long enough you’ll know how much I love the concept of ‘home’ and my conviction that what we put in them, and how we organise and style them, has a huge impact on our happiness. Part of that for me is encouraging ethical consumption where possible. Fast interiors are follo
