Hello Reader, I hope you are doing okay. The past 10 days have been really hard for me as I have watched in horror as innocent children, and people, have been suffering and taken away too early. My wishes and prayers every single day is for peace. I felt hopeless and heartbroken. Then yesterday evening, as I was teaching macrame jewellery for three hours at my local College for Adults, finally my frustration and hopeless were replaced with creativity, human connections, mindfulness, purpose...

Hello Reader, I hope you are well. On Tuesday I was in London to host a mini-retreat with 4 other incredible women. We started with a cacao ceremony, followed by a break nourishing ourselves with plant-based food and finally an 'awaken your creativity' with the art of knotting' session.

Hello Reader, it's time. I have decided to split the business! Macrame & Creative Business. As a creative, I have hundreds of ideas!!! I think it's a strength. I share lots of ideas with my students & clients. I keep making different things from products to content and offers for you. I love to create! But it can be exhausting!!!! It comes to a point when it gets too much and it's hard to know what to focus on. That is where I have been for the past few months- I lost my compass. So last...

Hello Reader, Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely Christmas break. On Christmas we lost nana, my husband's grandmother, she was 99 and 11 months old. We were all looking forward to celebrating her 100 years this January but she was ready to join her husband on Christmas. On the 29th of December when the iconic Vivienne Westwood passed away and everyone was posting about her on social media it made me think about all the amazing women in our lives, strong women, that left a legacy that is...
