2025 was challenging for me. Lowlights – health stress, transition hiccups, AI slop, disappointments, cost of living stress, chaotic global markets, a dizzyingly mad world. Highlights – healthy habits, family time, seeing people grow, pottery, painting, reading together, swimming in the sea.

My toile with a twist is a delicate floral design featuring some surreal floral faces. For anyone who wants a little bit of mystery and the unusual in their dressmaking, linens, home decor, and walls.

The mythical Phoenix is a symbol of harmony, transformation and peace in Chinese culture. I wanted to feature the Phoenix along with some symbolic flowers in my Chinese Heritage Revival design, my take on the traditional Arts & Crafts design. #fabricdesign #surfacedesign #pattern #phoenix

Crane in Flight with Flowers is a plate decorated with an applicator for the underglaze. The applicator created a slightly uneven and blobby flow, but it was handmade with love. This plate was a gift for a friend. #pottery #handmade #handmadepottery #ceramics

Well done! They look delicious. Good idea with the sesame seeds. We made Tanghulu for the first time a few months ago and learned a lot about waiting for the right temperature.

Happy Year of the Snake! I realised I hadn't shared this plate I made for my snake-obsessed son. It was decorated with sgraffito carved underglaze painting and finished with Amaco Potter's Choice Saturation Metallic. I had to wash it first - we use it most days. #pottery #handmade #ceramics

I think Foxglove flowers are so pretty, and I love the idea of foxes putting their little paws into these soft sweet flowers. But they aren’t so sweet. The leaves, flowers and seeds of the foxglove are toxic and can be fatal to humans and animals! Here's a little fabric collection #design #flowerart

A collection of four fabric designs in shades of cream, pinks, peach and reds, featuring organic lines, shapes and flowers.

The world is all a bit messy, and so are we. But the world is all kinds of beautiful, and so are we. Find little bits of beauty where you can - it is there if you look. I hope today is a better day ❤️‍

Happy Lunar New Year of the Snake 2025! The Lunar New Year is a great opportunity to get things in order you didn’t get around to for the new year, such as all that cleaning, goal setting and habit tracking. Wishing you a fresh new year to declutter the old and make space for the new!
