I’m not the most patient person so it’s been quite hard telling myself that building up a business from scratch is not going to happen overnight. The biggest problem being that when I set up as a freelance graphic designer, it did literally happen overnight. There were a few dry spots, but for the most […]
So the theme of this week’s Folksy Friday is ‘Festival’ in honour of Ben & Jerry’s Sundae on the Common which is happening this weekend on Clapham Common.

Only 8+ months late, but I finally made curtains for the baby’s room. Yes they are a bit too short and there are quite a few mistakes, but at least they’re made and up. He still woke up at 5.30am (we had curtains before but not black-out ones) but he went more quickly back to […]
I officially back from maternity leave to my freelance business, little bulldog design, a couple of months ago, but you wouldn’t really know it as not much in the way of work has come in. I blamed it on the recession for a little while, but it quickly became apparent that my clients had either […]
