Hi makers, how are we all? Incredibly, we made it through November and are now in the last month of the year! November was such a wild and overwhelming month to be online with the US elections and their aftermath, and the following bombardment of […]
A Scrappy Tundra Lopapeysa
Hello everyone! It’s been a rainy week at the Treehouse. Covid numbers are still rising and everything on every news channel still makes me want to scream, but I’ve also been greeted by lots of birds on the balcony, got muddy boots on autumnal forest […]

Sister Winter
Greetings from a storm battered Treehouse! Like much of Northern Europe we’ve been visited by rushing gales and battering winds. I took a few things from my balcony as a precaution but other than comforting spooked cats from the whistling sound of the winds and […]
Wrapping up 2019: Knitting, doodling and my make journal
They say once you pick up a skill, you never unlearn it, no matter how long you are out of practise. Well, I was definitely not keen to find out whether that was true or not, yet a couple of months into 2019 and I […]
