Who are we?
Me.
I'm Liz, I started this little site following the birth of my first baby.
Why? Having worked in retail for many years I was becoming bored of my career and longed for something new and exciting to inspire me. I studied art and design for years before falling into a job that simply paid the bills.
Having the happiest personal life outside of my career always made me want to do something more, then along came my little bundle of joy and some maternity leave giving me a little spare time (during naps!) to get creative again.
Eventually I will open the shop for my handmade creations, but in the meantime I will share lots of things about my life.

The Man.
My husband Dean, the most wonderful man (sometimes!) who I can depend on no matter what. He cooks (and getting quite good at it now), he cleans (better than me), he works hard and most importantly he is the best Dad in the world.
Not only do we have baby Effie, we also have 8 year old Ella, my step-daughter and they adore each other. Part of the reason I fell in love with him was being able to see what kind of father he is, they are peas in a pod and couldn't love each other more if they tried.

The big girl.
Little Ella-Rose the most characterful child you could ever meet. My smallest best friend since she was two, she has grown into the most interesting child in the world. She loves animals, she is obsessed with David Attenborough, she wants to be a Zoo Keeper, she never watches kids TV she prefers documentaries and the news, she loves joke books and trying to entertain everyone with what she remembers,she loves baking with me and watching cookery shows and she's a brownie. She also started a 'thing' amongst my friends for posing in photos with double thumbs up, see instagram #ellathumbs. This kid is the coolest.

The baby.
Effie Matilda, my little Effiebear. She was born in October 2013 and has changed my life in the most wonderful way. She likes milk, she likes being cosy and warm and she hates wind!!!
She is a lesson in life, patience and love all in one and the catalyst for me to change certain things in my life.
