Global, Environmental & Climate Crisis, I’m there, I finally get it, I mean a thorough and clear understanding  of exactly how it came about, why it is getting worse and how serious it really is.

The pivotal moment when I knew that I needed to change everything and revaluate all my beliefs and career goals.

After a tough couple of years, trying to figure out just [...]

Guide to buying eCo safe plastic products

Plastic Fantastic Furniture..Really? eCo Journey of Discovery 3

As much as I love wooden products, they won’t be the only thing I write about or advocate. I also intend to buy, reuse and recycle plastic items too. But is it possible to knowingly buy plastic in a carbon footprint crushing, guilt free way? Having thought about this long and hard, I think in [...]

Art For The Home Using Recycled Picture Frames

I found these 4 solid pine picture frames at a local charity shop. Whilst I think the pictures they held were quite sweet, they were exceptionally poor quality, yellowed and dirty…as were the frames. The first thing I did was to think about the composition for each picture. I had 4 images in mind and [...]

Homemade christmas alcohoiic treats for the festive season

Homemade Winter Treat Idea – Brandied Cherries Yum!

This recipe should really/ideally be made about 2 months before you want to eat them, to give the cherries time to absorb all that lovely brandy, but I’ve not [...]

Did you know….?

That the logo for the 2012 Olympics costs a cool £400,000! Not bad for an afternoon's work down the pub on the back of a napkin now is it? oooh naughty, naughty....it should have been a public vote and I think we can all guess that the chosen one would have been a "NO!!!!"

Apparently because children don't have to be anywhere or do anything their minds are clear, that's why they are like knowledge sponges. My mind is obviously at full capacity!" Give yourself an hour a week (at least) to clear your mind and see what you can learn.

Sure, I have over 10 years experience in new media designing for other people and I built this blog from scratch. Since stepping out of the corporate world I decided to go back to my interior design roots. I am currently training to become a gilder and this should complete my studies on the decorative arts side.

Coming soon will be my own portfolio of designs and produce.
