Last month I went to see the UK AIDS quilt at 🪡

I’m still thinking about it, and I’ll be thinking about it for a very long time.
Craft is a tool to not only make the invisible visible, but also a powerful tool for processing trauma and shared tragedy.
When it comes together on a huge scale like this, it creates a powerful historical artefact that will tell a story for years to come.

I hope this tours more UK locations and reaches even more people. As important today as it was when it was created in the 90s.

Nice bits from June that didn’t involve doing a big walk 🏃🏻‍♀️

Work was busy, but somehow I can’t tell you how it was so busy, it just felt like one of those whirlwind months where lots is happening at once yet nothing gets finished. Here’s to a productive and fun (it’s my birthday soon!) July x

Postcards from MOTHER 💃

We took it all down on Monday, and my body immediately went into shutdown 🫠 it ain’t for the faint hearted!

Huge shout out to our gorgeous crew who inject joy and much needed motivation into everything we do. Wouldn’t survive without you both.

To , the woman who challenges me and pushes me to make it happen, no matter how mad the idea. You’re my biggest nuisance and my biggest inspiration. Thanks for envisioning a community of artists that don’t have to sacrifice being silly to be at the top of their game. We can do it all and we’ll make daft reels while we do it 🫶🏻

Here’s to the next 🥂

In January I was very fortunate to be awarded a bursary from to support me in learning bobbin lace making - now classified as an endangered craft by

Proud to say that from tomorrow, you can see lace that I have produced on display as part of the exhibition in Hull❤️‍🔥

I’ve been taught by the super talented alongside my friend and fellow Feminine Urger - our Monday nights have been spent getting to know this brilliantly complex craft. Our patience has been tested, brain cells lost, but our progress has been undeniable and it’s been so rewarding.

THANK YOU for investing in me and awarding me the time to develop this into my practice.

Thanks as well to our local lacemaking community , who have welcomed me so warmly into their experienced group, and who we’ll learn so much from.
As much as I advocate that craft skills are more accessible than ever thanks to online tutorials and YouTube, nothing beats the connections, stories and talent you can glean from learning from others face to face.

If you go and see my work in the show, let me know! More lace will also be exhibited later this month as part of the .hull exhibition at - can’t stop me now 🥳

Spring things 🌷

Been busy getting things ready for MOTHER exhibition which opens 1st May, along with all my usual nonsense. Excited for more working in the garden and getting distracted by visiting bees 🐝

My favourite place, centre of my universe; Boyes ❤️‍🔥

Time to start deep diving into the underrated haberdashery provider of the north. Last summer/early autumn I started filming little reviews of local branches of Boyes, so it’s time to start actually posting them all and spreading the good word.

Starting strong with Boyes Hessle Road (Hull) which I always say is the one with the best haberdashery out of the 4 Boyes we’ve got in Hull! We’ll see how the others stack up in future vids 👀

Love you 🫶🏻
