Over the past few weeks, I’ve been playing with my laser cutter again, this time experimenting with walnut wood — and I’m so excited to share the results! I’ve made a small collection of lightweight wooden earrings, each design playing with negative space and natural shapes. There’s something deeply satisfying about working with wood: the…

Pirate ABC Treasures – A Handmade Box of Letters
There’s something especially joyful about combining creative techniques to make something meaningful—and fun! My latest project has been exactly that: a handmade treasure chest of ABC coasters, blending machine embroidery and laser cutting into one playful and practical design. Each coaster is part of a carefully embroidered alphabet series I’ve been stitching, with pictures and…
3D Printed Cat Trio – Because One Just Isn’t Enough
I’ve been playing around with some fun 3D printing lately, and this little project turned into something rather delightful — a trio of black cats, each with their own personality!

One of my favourite creative projects has had a fresh update — my iLove keyring range is now available as laser-engraved designs!

I’ve just completed a full A–Z set of coasters, each one featuring a machine-embroidered object on one side, and the corresponding letter and word on the other. From A for Apple to…
3D Printed Vernier Holder – A Handy Little Project
I recently 3D printed a simple but incredibly useful holder for my vernier caliper. It’s one of those small projects that makes a big difference on the workbench — no more leaving the vernier lying around loose, or trying to find a clear spot to tuck it away safely. The design wasn’t mine — I…
New Laser, New Possibilities – Tiny Projects, Big Joy!
I’m so excited to share that I’ve added a new tool to my creative setup — a compact laser cutter! It’s perfect for smaller projects, and I’ve already fallen in love with everything it can do. With a working area of just under 10×10 cm, it might be small, but it’s definitely mighty. I’ve been…

Recently, I’ve been working on a collection of coasters, each one uniquely designed and printed right here at home. In this post, I’m sharing all the coasters I’ve made so far. Whether you’re…
