And into the ocean I went, well Lulworth Cove, but not for long as I forgot my swim boots and gloves, but nit until I had a lovely breakfast with Mandy from where we chatted about life, future plans and she showed me how ChatGpt works

It’s March which means is

My name is Sophie and I am a mother of two young adults, owned by a dog and two cats, and in real life I work for

In a previous life I made and sold candles but as my children got more independent I fell out of love with making them and a chance encounter with has led to a love of block printing which has helped calm my brain and slowing me down and has also helped with being able to focus better in other activities. I have started to run workshops and sell at events and on Etsy.

I also have a love of sea swimming all year round, reading and having a go at other crafts, some more successfully than others.

After losing my husband to cancer 8 years ago I had rediscovered my love of travelling and adventure, Carpe Diem and all that

Come and spend a creative day of wreath making and festive block printing on fabric with myself and Catherine from at The Weld Arms in East Lulworth.

Catherine will guide you in making a glorious Christmas wreath while you will have the option of block printing a Christmas gift or Japanese Furoshiki (cloth wrapping paper)

It’s the start of a new week and what a glorious start to it walking Dave. I love the mornings this time of year, when it’s not raining, with the mist and the sun just getting through.

I have some nice plans this week, swimming, of course, lunch with Catherine from to check out a space for a Christmas workshop day, supper with friends from Australia while trying not to hyperventilate about an 18th birthday party being held at home and an extra day off for annual leave.

Let’s see how it all works out 😂

An indulgent end to a week and a bit of annual leave which was fairly frenetic at times, a wonderful full moon sauna with and a swim last night with a fabulous group of women and then out today on a boat for a beach picnic, and yes I do and I am trying to be because life can really be too short sometimes (sorry for the cheesiness)

Yesterday I ran my first lampshade making workshop and what a lovely few hours it was.

My two attendees had never block printed before so after a demonstration they took some@time to play with different blocks and colours before deciding on their final design. They then moved on to a full scale mock up to see how their lampshade would look before moving on to printing their final piece and construction resulting in two beautiful and totally different lampshades.

Some fabulous creations in last nights workshop

Again, nothing I have seen yet with colours and designs. It always amazes me how someone can take the same block but with a different combination and a tweak of colour it changes everything completely.

If you would like to have a go then please book through the link in my bio or email me.
