How to get a Yoga Body
It really is this simple! Once you take the scary plunge into Yoga you will feel the benefits almost immediately. I felt like I was walking taller, my shoulders were back and my chest thrust forward. I felt sure if someone saw me in the street they would know that I had done Yoga, it felt that obvious to me. I know it sounds strange that a little bit of stretching will help your body, but believe me it really does work. I'm not talking about loosing weight and looking goo

My Kind of HouSEWork
If you know me then you'll know that anything and everything is prioritised before houSEWork. Id rather be Sewing, Baking or meeting friend for Coffee.

Yoga Tree Pose Tote Bag
I still find Tree Pose very hard to do. Firstly my foot only seems to be able to make it to my knee. Ive tried putting it up higher but there's no way its staying put. I'm not sure why that is - maybe its due to tight hips or leg strength. Sometimes my teacher tells us to shut our eyes during tree pose. Usually at this point I end up in a heap on the floor. Perhaps I should call it "Timber Pose"... This is a little snippet of a Tree Pose Tote Bag that I'm creating. It w

Kids Camera Bag
My lovely granddaughter India, who is 8 has asked for a Camera for Christmas, so we've ordered her one from Father Christmas (please don't tell her if you see her!) but I couldn't find a nice camera bag for it. Hence, I'm making one. I found some gorgeous material with cameras on it and have teamed it with a bit of washed denim. I've appliqued the lens onto the front and I'm going to put some buttons on the bag to replicate the usual buttons you would find on a camera. W

Busy Making a Custom Yoga Mat Strap
I'm really excited and nervous to be making a custom Yoga Mat Strap. Its for a lovely bubbly yoga teacher whom I met when trying out Paddle Board Yoga or SUP Yoga. If you've never tried SUP Yoga before and need a good core work out and a giggle I can thoroughly recommend this. The letters are getting appliqued onto denim and then when that's finished, stitched onto the canvas strapping so that it can hold the weight of the yoga mat. Hope she likes it #yogamatstrap #yogam

Sewing in the garden
I like nothing better than to sew in the garden surrounded by nature, even if its just for a few minutes with a cup of tea (and biscuit obviously). I fear it may be coming to an end with Autumn fast approaching. Today I'm making a washed denim strap with a strip of pink running down the centre. I'm not sure how its going to turn out but its looking good so far. Save #Recycle #yogamatstrap #YogaMatBag #yogamatstrap #yoga #sewing #garden #yogamatcarrier #handmade

Why Upcycle Pre Loved Clothes
Normal is Boring If you're anything like me, then you are fed up with going to the high street to find the same old boring chain stores, all selling the same generic items. It seems that what ever you like, your friend already has it or Nancy in accounts has one similar! Its Oh Soooo Boring. Be Original, Nobody Likes a Copy Cat Luckily I see things starting to change. Little boutiques are starting to appear on the high streets again, cute craft shops selling unique one of a
