What do you do when you’ve got some creamy jersey milk in the fridge that’s about to expire? Make ricotta! So easy, so delicious. It’s going into the Ottolenghi Pasta and Butternut Squash tray bake I’m making, to bring along to a picnic tomorrow.
Where I work
Here’s a little corner of my workspace, ie: where I spend all my life :)
Highlights include a laser printer that’s so old it’s also a fax (shame there’s no landline to connect it to), my cassette player/radio from the ‘80s (still works), an I Heart NY mug I bought on my last trip to the US, and a bird’s nest fern I received as a KK gift nearly two years ago. What does your workspace look like? I would LOOOVE to see!
New Fabric!
Things got busy around here in winter, but some new fabric panels have just been listed in the shop.

And some of these things are sentimental, like the Mason Pearson hairbrush my mum got me for my birthday when I was a kid (thanks mum!) and the comb my friend gave me for my most recent birthday (thanks Em!) Oh, and my tip for nail clippers? Go to Muji.
And a little heads up that all art prints are now available in A4 and *new* A3 size. They're all archival quality giclee prints, using the highest quality pigment inks, printed on fade resistant canvas paper (I just love that texture!) Hope you like.
