These were delicious to make!

It's the new pattern from and I am in Love, as always. 🥰
Simple, loads of space inside and with a touch of whimsy! Right up my alley!

And these fabrics from the Songbird collection by are just perfect for this season and look stunning as a Francesca Box Pouch! Pastel colours and a bit of art Nouveau 🥰

Going to put them online in this instant. Link in bio if you want one for yourself!

Some fabric stamps I made yesterday. ✨

I don't like to waste fabric, specially when they hold teeny tiny pieces of art in them.
I could sew them, but then the art would be hidden in the seams because they are so tiny.
So instead I save them in a box and make these stamps that can be used and appliqués, scrapbooking ephemera, fabric tags, etc.

Aren't they cute?

Would anyone be interested in these?

Custom order. ✨Love how it turned out. 😍Remember: you can buy some of these fabrics in my shop

Today the video is in Portuguese, because I am answering a challenge that a fellow portuguese artisan made.
I am showing some stuff that I make. 😊

Hi there!

I have been off screens trying to get the most out of this festive season with my wee family. It has been refreshing allowing myself to have time for other things too.

Thank you to everyone that has supported this dream of mine this year, either by liking my posts, interacting with them or in person with amazing words of encouragement, purchasing my items or simply a good chat with the bonus of allowing me to pet your doggos. 🐶

I hope that in 2026 I can put more effort in the online realm and keep my pace with markets.

2025 has been a bittersweet year. I can't say it was marvellous, there is too much horror happening around the world and I have felt it deeply. But as someone wise once said - the opposite of depression isn't happiness, the opposite of depression is expression. So, we must commit to creating whatever our hands and mind leads us to. Only this way, I believe, we can keep our hearts open.

May 2026 be a year of healing, growth and creation. ✨

With all the love, from Edinburgh,
Mara.

I get this question a lot since I added the Mini Cube to my shop! 😅
And here are some ideas!

You can also pair them with a matchy (or unmatchy) keyfob and attach your keys. 🥰

These cubes are tiny and the cutest!

The pattern is a bonus in the Bilby Pouch by ✨

I've not had the light to proper photograph what I need to put it online 🤷 it's Scotland and it's nearly winter witch means, lack of sun and long nights. Bare with me!!

In the meantime if you 👀 something you like, feel free to send me a message and I can send it to you before Christmas!

These are my new Tile Wallets! 🥰 measuring approximately 7,5" wide X 4,5" high they are the perfect everything companion.
Great for makeup, everyday essentials, traveling, stationary, even cables and random things we need to organise!

A beautiful market yesterday at Portobello Townhall!
It started very strong but then it calmed down a bit, I guess due to the heavy rain outside.
Nonetheless, it was beautiful!

Thanks to all of you lovely people that supported my small business and gave me amazing words of encouragement!

I had the chance to purchase some goodies from my fellow makers there too! Maybe later I can show you what I have got. 😊

Thank you to for yet another super well organised and good vibes market!

It's not the end for this year just yet, I still have another market in the horizon!

Saturday 20th of December I will be at the for all last minute purchases that you might need.

I will update my shop with everything I have during this week. Keep an eye on here. 👀

A great week to all of you. ❤️✨
