Willow plant supports- 100% sussex grown willow. Definitely the last few I make of these before bump is out... quite physically demanding with a big bump and accompanying backache! Anyway I think I have one spare going and can deliver to within 12 miles of Burwash. Or you can collect FOC. DM me if interested. #willow #plantsupport #spring #sussex #sustainablecraft #lockdown #pregnantbasketmaker

Foraging baskets available now! Ill be making a series of these in April and May so let me know if you’d like one, I’m happy to post to anywhere innthe UK. Stay well my friends #handmade #lockdownmaking #willow #sussexcraft #contemporarycraft #foraging #spring

Antique chair re-rushed. Worked on this with the inestimable Mary Butcher who was my generous guide, and to whom I am extremely grateful, as ever! Super company, too. I haven’t reattached the wooden side rails yet as cant get to a hardware store for correct size nails until these movement restrictions are lifted. However I’ll be taking on more of these commissions as soon as things are back to normal... and before baby #2 is due in July! DM me if you have a chair to work on... #rush #chair #antique #englishcraft #traditionalcraft #heritage #naturalmaterials #sussex #reseating

Stunning frosty morning to finish some work outside. Saturdays are about remembering I’m a maker as well as a mother. And I’m thankful for both of those joyous things. Also somehow making a plant support gives me a tantalising glimmer of spring! #daddydaycare #makermama #willow #plantsupport #homegrown #handmade #weaving #winter #spring #sussex #outdoors #joy

Harvest, 2020. Happy new year everyone. May all your wishes come true- or one of them at least?
