Isn’t it a little ironic that we now need a marketing strategy just to get past all the people trying to sell us a marketing strategy?😅
Anyway, let’s give the algorithm a little help.
I’m pretty sure hardly anyone will actually see this post, but if by some miracle you’ve made it this far…
If you run a small business, give me a wave in the comments!👋 And if you know a brilliant independent business, tag them below.
I’d genuinely love to discover some new ones. It would be nice to see something other than another 25 ads telling me how to beat the algorithm. And the collagen ones, of course😅 Ola x

Just a little hello from me before the weekend💙💛
I’ve been quiet here again. The news from Ukraine has been absolutely heartbreaking lately, and sometimes it just stops me in my tracks. I find it difficult to focus on work, let alone post pretty pictures and talk about everyday things when so much suffering is happening in the country where I grew up.
A devastating war is still raging in Europe. Innocent people, including children, are being killed, while political and financial interests seem to matter more than human lives. And to hear those responsible for so much suffering described as “humanitarians” is beyond comprehension.
I’ve always believed in fairness, kindness and basic human decency, but lately I feel utterly helpless, struggling to understand where the world is heading.
My hometown was attacked this week too. And here I am, safe in London, looking for rechargeable lamps for my mum because of the power cuts in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, there’s so much happening at Zuri House. I’m working on new products and getting our Christmas shop ready, but I simply can’t find the heart to create cheerful content right now.
I know my little voice won’t change the world. But perhaps it can remind someone that this war is still happening, and that behind every headline are real people, real families and real lives💔
A special thank you to Bartek Kielbowicz for his continued support of Ukraine through so many initiatives, including creating this “WITH U” T-shirt as a symbol of solidarity.
And to my friend Żenia Klimakin, thanks to whom I’m proudly wearing it today. Thank you both!💙💛

A little autumn from my camera roll on this beautiful, sunny Sunday in London🍂
These pumpkins always remind me of walks with my son, stopping to collect little twigs in our local park after school or on a wander through the woods. Somewhere along the way, I thought they would make lovely stalks for crochet pumpkins… and here we are, hundreds of pumpkins later🧡
So many have found their way into your homes over the years, and it all started with a few sticks and a little idea.
If you’d like one for your home too, there’s still time to order for dispatch this week, in whatever colours you fancy.
Hope you’re enjoying a lovely Sunday, wherever you are🍁

Thank you all so much for your kind messages and support over the last few days♥️ I’ve archived my last post for now, but I’m reading every comment and DM.
I also realised I haven’t shown this ottoman here for years, and it seems to be getting quite popular lately😉 So it’s only fair it gets its moment back on my feed: the Zuri House ottoman, the piece you’ve loved for almost 10 years, right from the very beginning🧶
I designed it in 2017, and that same year the very first ones went to their new homes. I’ve gathered a few of my favourite photos from those early days. Swipe to see where it all started ➡️
Every single one is still made by my hands, row by row. It takes hours, a lot of cotton cord and, yes, sometimes sore fingers😅 But seeing it in your homes makes every stitch worth it.
Thank you for supporting original handmade work and small makers. It means more than you know♥️

A little corner made for slowing down🤎
One of our knitted bean bags tucked into this lovely little boy’s room - a cosy spot for reading, playing, or apparently… looking at the world through wooden binoculars👀😁
Handmade from cotton cord, soft but sturdy, and easy to move around wherever a little extra seat is needed.
The bean bag pictured here is our 70 × 100 cm size in Mocha🤎 And I absolutely love how this colour works with all those greens and natural wood tones😍🙌🏻

A busy Sunday over here🤪🤎

We’ve spent the whole weekend working through your orders, and little by little everything is starting to come together. Some parcels are already on their way, more will be leaving tomorrow and throughout the week.

Thank you so much for keeping us busy and, most of all, for choosing our little handmade shop. It really does mean a lot🫶🏻

And just a little reminder - our 25% OFF everything offer ends tomorrow. So if you’ve had your eye on something for your home, want to make things a little cosier for the season ahead, get ahead with a Christmas gift (yes, I said it😅), or simply stock up on something from our Craft Shop - there’s still time today and tomorrow to make the most of it.
Bean bags, pouffes, baskets, rugs, patterns, craft supplies and everything in between - 25% OFF until tomorrow night.
Hope your weekend has been a little less busy and a lot more relaxing than mine!🤎
Phew! Back to your orders for me now✋🏻🧶🤚🏻🤎Ola x

I really soaked this summer in. And I’m leaving this here mostly as a little memory for myself, because life isn’t all Zuri, knitting and orders after all☺️

There was so much packed into these few months - our anniversary trip to New York, both kids finishing their schools and starting new ones, Nina’s prom and GCSE results, seeing my family in Warsaw, travelling, new places, new people and just a lot of life in between. I think I’ll be processing this summer for quite a while.

But if I’m honest, one of the parts I keep coming back to is much simpler than all of that. A huge open field, a 15-minute walk from home, that I had passed so many times over the years without knowing what was just behind it. My dog, 5am light or quiet summer evenings, long grass, wildflowers, birds and rabbits. No plan, just walking and being there.

That was also the place where I met some amazing people, fellow dog lovers, and made new friends who became one of the very best parts of my summer.

Zuri was still very much moving in the background. But my own focus shifted away from Instagram for a while and more towards life outside of it. And I think I really needed that.

Probably one of the busiest, fullest and most emotional summers I’ve had in a long time, but also one that gave me some much-needed time for myself, and I feel very lucky to have had it☀️

Summer got so busy that I completely forgot to tell you about these🫠

Meet our new Lina crochet rugs - simple and understated, with just a little scalloped detail around the edges for that extra bit of charm.

Handmade to order in 5 sizes and 30+ colours, they’re lovely in children’s bedrooms and nurseries, beside a cot or little bed, or simply anywhere around the home that needs a little softness and texture.

Simple, soft and, of course, as everything in our shop, made by hand🌿

Almost four years ago, we brought Lalo home from a shelter🐾 Possibly one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.
He’s the most loved creature in our house, everyone’s favourite, my little shadow and quite honestly the best antidepressant I could ask for🤍 Some days he’s the one who gets me through the day. He keeps me company while I work, demands cuddles, interrupts constantly and occasionally helps take your parcels to the Post Office 📦 His actual contribution to Zuri House is questionable😅, but I wouldn’t change him for the world.
And today is also a little reminder - if you’re thinking about getting a dog, please consider adoption. There are so many wonderful dogs still waiting in shelters for their person🐾
Happy International Dog Day to all the dogs and all the humans who love them🤍

🎈25% OFF 🎈- putting this first because apparently nobody reads to the end anymore😅

My kids were tiny when we started making these. They’re teenagers now!😳
That’s my son testing one of our very first bean bags, and my daughter putting hers to good use a couple of years later🎸
And all these years later, we’re still making them. Still one of our favourites and thoroughly tested on my own children over the years😁👌🏻
Our bean bags, like everything else in the shop - including our favourite Ziggy pouffes - are currently 25% off while we’re away - just in case you needed a little encouragement😉🤍
