This month, I wanted to play with some softer colours, so I went searching through my photographs and came across this Cornflower and thought it was perfect. The soft greens, blues and purples are some of my favourites and such a great analogous colour scheme. Basic club was Wensleydale and for luxury club, I blended…

April 2018 Club Reveal – Blackbird
I can’t believe we’re at the start of May already. Time seems to be moving at warp speed and there are days when I simply don’t seem to be able to keep up. I love that club gives me an excuse every month to play! April Club was inspired by this photo. Eric has always…
March 2018 Club Reveal – Last Light
It’s hard to believe that it’s already April! Where has this first quarter gone? I’m a couple of days late but I’m so excited to share March Club with you. Inspiration for this month came from this photograph. It was taken by Eric on a backpack camping trip he did with our youngest daughter a…
February 2018 Club Reveal – Canyon Waters
I’ve loved going through some of our old photographs to find inspiration for club. This month’s inspiration came from a trip we did as a family a couple of summers ago.

November 2017 Club Reveal – Starling
10 years ago, my husband and I took a trip to Europe. When we were in France we visted Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy. I’d first visited this little tiny island when I was 13 and on a school trip. I loved going back and experiencing it as an adult. While we were there, the colours…
October 2107 Club Reveal – Baba
This month’s colourway is inspired by a photograph I took a very, very long time ago (1996 to be exact!). It was taken shortly after I finished courses in photography and was the first image I chose to enter into a member’s exhibit for a local darkroom gallery show. (Yes, this was taken on black…
What are WE worth?
Ever have one of those moments, where you question everything? You question why you’re doing something, and whether what you do has value and what if no one is willing to pay it… and… and… and… These are the questions that everybody starting a new business faces. It’s tough. Add to that, starting a business…
