Sewing & crafts classes & parties in East London
I’ve been super busy and then when I did think to breathe and blog again my WordPress app wouldn’t let me. I’m still not entirely sure what’s going on, it’s all way too technical for me, so I’m meeting with my friend Lisa next week who’s a techie whizz and who looks after my site […]
Today I went on a little trip to the fabulous fashion and textiles museum (Zandra Rhodes’ baby) in Bermondsey, London. I love this museum. It’s pink and orange on the outside for starters! It’s small but perfectly formed and always has interesting exhibitions as well as a gorgeous little shop. They also have a […]
I’ve always been drawn to Scotland and have had some lovely holidays there in the past. My partner is from Paisley, near Glasgow, and I’ve visited both quite a few times since we’ve been together. This summer it was a right Scottish bonanza with two holidays there! First I went to a cottage next to […]
About 6 weeks ago I was comissioned to make two quilts for Rosie’s little boys, Caspar and Leonardo. Rosie had used a beautiful fabric from Moda, “Simply Color” as bunting for her wedding and had kept it all and now wanted it used in quilts her children could use and keep. Great idea!

So I’m in my new studio, I taught my first class in there and it’s absolutely perfect. It will no doubt take a while yet before I’m completely done and before my living room looks normal again but I’m on my way. Nice as the studio looks now, the living room (where I taught […]
Today was a frustrating one for the lads. The hired concrete mixer is STILL “on it’s way”, it’s now 6.30pm, and they had to drink tea and eat biccies for a bit as they had run out of things to do. Strangely they didn’t like that as they like being busy! They are going make […]
Ok ok I’m a month late but all the same, let’s celebrate. Cheekyhandmades has been around for 4 years. In these four years it’s gone from a tiny spark of a dream to a grown up company. From trailing my makes around local craft fairs in the beginning to where I am now has been […]
Yesterday it was unexpectedly hot. Sean and I took a wonder over toward Walthamstow’s as yet undiscovered joys just off Shernall street, via St Mary’s church yard in the village. It was a lovely walk. What am amazing treasure trove to have right on my doorstep! God’s Own Junkyard makes and sells amazing neon creations […]
Max and myself are just returning from a week in Utrecht. I only lived near and in Utrecht for 8 years between the ages of 11 and 19 but it is a beautiful town which I love visiting. It will always hold a special place in my heart. My parents live in nearby in Zeist […]
