Life lately,
Recently I’ve been… playing around with the new features on my A Beautiful Mess photo app. disturbing my grumpy, sleepy cat as she dozed in the sun in one of my wooden crates (they are part of an ikea hack that I’m planning to share soon). feeling inspired by the recent Papermash crafternoon that I attended in…

I’m on a mission this weekend to get things organised and tidy in our home office (or should I say ‘general dumping ground’)! We are so fortunate to have a small box room that we can use as a home office but I rarely use it for that purpose as it’s so full of unorganised…
