🎶 Twinkle twinkle little toes! Don’t get big, or on the nose! 🎶⠀

Little tiny peanut toes were some of my favourite parts of my little ones 😍 How about you? What was your favourite part of your babies?
I got to snuggle a four week old baby today. That age is my favourite. They curl up into a little ball like a little koala and they make the squeakiest noises and they’re little fists and the smell and their skin like velvet 🥰 all the love. It was nice to be able to give him back to his Mum, but part of me is still grieving that I won’t have that ever again 😢

Sometimes you just need to cut things up and glue them back together in a better way, right? ⠀
⠀
I've been doing a lot of technical pattern writing the last few weeks, and as much as I love it, it really drains my brain. So yesterday and today I just made stuff with my hands. I got out my wool blanket scrap box and I hand-stitched and I cut and I glued to my heart's content 💗 ⠀
⠀
I've had this idea in my head for a while, but for some reason when I get a new idea I hit a wall of creative inertia. It's a fight to break through it for some reason... anyone else feel this, or know what it is and why it happens? I'd love to know! Maybe there's a bit of fear... Of whatever I'm making being a dud and my time being wasted. But that's just silly, I know. ⠀
⠀
When it comes to creativity, nothing is ever a waste of time. It's all a learning experience, right? What do you think about creative inertia? Tell me below 👇🏻, and swipe for a close up!

Over time, as I've played with fabric and toyed with pattern ideas I've realised that my love for design lies in creating soft furnishings that participate in the story of a home. I LOVE to see a well-styled home where all the elements in it play a part in telling its story, but don't take over the story... if you know what I mean? ⠀
⠀
But that's just me. That's where the love is for me! But what about you? Do you create simply for the love of doing something with your hands? Tell me why YOU do it! 👇

If you’re looking for me I’ll just be out with these beautiful fairies eating marshmallows that look like fluffy white clouds and drinking pink lemonade that fizzes and makes your breath all sparkly. ⠀
⠀
Because for some strange reason that’s what I reckon fairies would eat. Yes? Or no? Discuss. 👇🏻 😂
