Looking for a Christmas gift that's not mass produced and both beautiful and useful?

Wrapped in one of my beautifully designed tea towels and tied with ribbon, each cracker has either a second coordinating tea towel or a matching apron.

As the scent of pine fills the room and candlelight flickers in the background, unwrapping one feels every bit as special as Christmas morning.

Thoughtful, practical and designed to be enjoyed long after the decorations are packed away.

Available in a range of prints and colourways. Shop on my website via the link in bio.

I printed this ribbon for a gift, but the process is exactly the same one I use to create the patterns found across my range of lampshades, cushions and home accessories.

Every design starts with a handmade print before finding its way into the collection.

I lost count of how many times I played this song while putting this reel together.

Somehow the words seemed to fit this little business journey, from learning how to create lino prints, to printing my first design and now hand making lampshades and sewing cushions.

Listen right to the end. It's so lovely.

What makes a tiny heart print pattern feel so inviting?

Carina means cute in Italian and this print always reminds me of little hearts.

I loved making this drum lampshade in olive and pink and watching the pattern wrap so neatly around the frame.

It works beautifully on bedside lamps, wall lights or any small space where you want a soft cosy glow. If you'd like one made for your home, Carina is available in other colours and sizes.

I’ve been working on this new lino print in the studio and I made it into an empire lampshade.

I think the shape really suits this print. 🤍

I haven’t named this design yet. Some of my pattern names are inspired by my Italian heritage, but im stuck with this one.

If you have suggestions as you watch, add a comment below as I’d love to hear it.

So many of you loved the Seaweed lampshade that’s pinned at the top of my grid, so here’s the making of the matching cushion.

I designed this Seaweed print fabric as a lino print and it’s been lovely using it for this cushion.

I love sharing the making process with you.
