Still here, savouring these summer days, willing them not to end. Pondering what a return to routine will look like for me, and what changes lie ahead. We have had degree, A-Level and GCSE results in our home and so this summer has been very well earnt. Motherhood continues to provide me with moments of pride, but also that awareness that their wings are growing and that reality hits hard! So bear with me whilst I navigate changes in their lives and changes in my own.

Since returning from my break to Kenya, I have struggled to process all that we got to see. It was beyond anything we hoped it would be. I have done a lot of journaling and reflecting. We live in a world which can feel overwhelmingly negative and full of hatred, almost like our earth is hurting, but when you come and visit somewhere like this, you can’t help but feel that there is goodness in this world. That we have such a beautiful planet, we need to do all we can to protect it and help it to heal from damage caused. I have once again witnessed examples of community, where bonds are strong and people are loyal, where basic values of love, joy, kindness and happiness matter more than material possessions. Asante Sana Kenya for all you have given us. Thank you to Tuthie Afrika for guiding us on this amazing journey.

Final ever delivery of stripes. You have all requested a restock, so I listened. I have made a little change to the cardigans, with fewer buttons which I hope you will approve of. As always, these are small batch made so limited in quantity, but made with love from organic cotton. Perfect for late summer layering!

I think June is one of my favourite months, the long days, the abundance of flora and fauna, spending time in my happy place - our garden. Cups of tea outside in the morning, glasses of wine outside at night. We have been blessed with sunshine and I am grateful for all the month brought. Even the moments where I have felt tested or challenged, as we learn from these moments don’t we? We grow and we evolve. We have celebrated my youngest’s birthday, said goodbye to school for my third child, spent time visiting beautiful Florence, celebrated achievements and embraced new opportunities. I now open my arms to July, trusting in all that unfolds and being grateful for what has been and what’s to come. There may not have been as many pictures of beautiful babies but sometimes life is more important!

When I design a new piece, I rarely think about the moment it’s purchased; instead, I find myself imagining the life it might live afterwards. Blankets wrapped around a newborn on the journey home. The one that’s always tucked into the pram “just in case.” Spread out for picnics and tea parties with dolls, wrapped around sleepy shoulders after a day at the beach, made into dens in the living room, or carried from room to room by little hands.

When I receive images back from photo shoots it always feels a pinch me moment, my babies are no longer tiny, so I love being able to see my designs brought to life. These are the moments I design for.

I hope these pieces aren’t kept in drawers waiting for a special occasion. I hope they’re used every day, washed often, loved deeply, and eventually passed on to another little person to begin their own story. Because to me, the most beautiful things are the ones imperfectly made, stitch by stitch for our imperfect lives. They’re the ones that become part of family life. What everyday moment do you hope your little one remembers one day? 🤍

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father figures and sending much love to anyone who finds today a difficult day. 🤍

When life can feel like a challenge, when you feel everything feels just a bit difficult, I truly do find that practicing gratitude can shift your mindset. When you take time to notice the small things, the moments that bring you joy, it honestly makes all the difference. I hope you have found a moment of joy this weekend. X
