Handmade In Hampstead

Her best day with her besties 💜

Sometimes a piece refuses to stay finished.

Since the moment it was born,
ideas kept arriving faster than I could keep up with them.

I changed the cord:
replaced it with a twisted metallic one that catches the light just enough.

Added small metal eyelets,
so the structure feels more deliberate, more grounded.

And the best part -
a tiny cord lock, so it now closes with a gentle pull,
no knots, no fuss, just a small, satisfying gesture.

But the real transformation happened inside.

I wanted it to feel less like a lining
and more like a hidden world.

It’s still the same bag, technically.
But it feels… more like itself now.

And I have a feeling it’s not quite finished yet.

Inspired by the language of historical textiles
where function and ornament were never separate.

This piece carries that idea forward,
transforming from a small pouch into something more generous.

A miniature picnic, a place to gather little things, a pause in the day.
A quiet dialogue between past and present.
A small ritual you can carry with you

Small accounts run on big hearts… and the occasional like 😉
Thank you for keeping both alive.

A personalised piece for a future star ⚽✨

Custom embroidery designed for girls who love football —
because every passion deserves to be seen and celebrated.

There was a time when tapestries weren’t just decoration.

They kept the cold out of stone walls,
softened echoing halls,
and quietly turned castles into something closer to a home.

In a way, they were the original interiors -
both beautiful and deeply practical.

This piece began with that same idea.
A tapestry that doesn’t simply hang on the wall,
but builds a world.

My client wanted something atmospheric,
a living story that can keep growing, almost endlessly.
Shelf by shelf, detail by detail,
following the rhythm of the interior it belongs to.

A little library of spells, creatures and quiet magic…
stitched into place, yet never quite finished.

And perhaps that’s not so far from history.
Tapestries in the time of Henry VIII were so valuable
they could rival the cost of ships -
treasures meant to be lived with, not just looked at.

Some things haven’t really changed.

Just not before a brief, Oscar-worthy emotional performance. 🎭

It’s a whole emotional support system:
Soft cotton, a slightly dramatic cat,
and permission to feel everything beautifully.

For those who don’t know me, one of my hobbies is sourdough baking.
I’ve had my starter for 3 years… and yes, she has a name.
Meet Kvassilda 😌

Yesterday I tried to bake something “healthy”… and accidentally summoned something witchy 🧙‍♀️🥖
No, I did NOT expect it to take over the entire personality of the bread.

I just added spinach.

This loaf looks like it belongs at a Halloween table… but tastes dangerously good.

💚 deep, bold colour
💚 crackling crust
💚 soft, slightly moist crumb
💚 and the perfect base for a very aesthetic breakfast sandwich

Add a generous layer of butter — and suddenly, discipline is no longer part of the plan.

Honestly?
Next time I’ll probably bake this only for Halloween.
But the sandwiches it makes? Absolutely worth it

If you’ll dare:

• 500 g flour
• ~350 g spinach water (blend spinach + water, then strain)
• 100 g sourdough starter
• 10 g salt

And if anyone asks why your bread is green…
just say it’s on trend 😏

Unsupervised.
Pray for the consequences.

If it works - it’s talent.
If it doesn’t - it’s a story.

Welcome to the chaos.
