Tomorrow in the first Collage and zine with me class, we are celebrating collections. I thought this would be such a super theme, as I’m guessing many of us are collectors! To practice for the theme, I took three of my favourite collections: postage stamps from the Machin series; dots (stickers, washi tape and scraps […]
In July I ran a short series of classes in my online school called Collage with me. From 10-12 each Tuesday morning a small group of us met online to collage to a theme. We collaged with papers of All one colour… …we collaged in layers made from Rubber stamps + tissue paper… …we collaged […]
Hello and how are you? I’m sorry for disappearing! I didn’t mean to but the last few months have been a huge period of readjustment and change and writing here is one of the habits I’ve gotten out of. Just now, much of my time is spent running Journal with me – the membership for […]
This month in Journal with me – my subscription-based creative journaling membership – we are making collages in our journals with the specific intention to uplift, inspire and motivate.

It was all pretty dispiriting and I had to help things along with large doses of gold stars, washi-tape and WELL DONE stickers in my journal but, now […]
In the inspiring environment of St. Leonards, I’m moving towards a new chapter of KNITSONIK. The complex accounts required for trading as a Limited Company are no longer working for me so I’m un-incorporating KNITSONIK LTD and going back to being a sole trader. Before I hang up my director’s hat, I want to reflect […]
The past seven weeks since Mel died have been raw and soft; filled with love, tears, time with the family and walks to the beach. I am so grateful for the comfort of the sea. Whatever you feel, you know it’s big enough to take it on; to fold it gently into its endless waves. […]
