GOOD MORNING

RISE AND SHINE BANNER

We love the buzzing bee writing on this wall hanging! This is a super simple make with a big impact when on display. Why not play around with a personalised message and add a name to your banner? It would make a great housewarming gift.

EGG COSY

Become an early bird by making yourself a tasty breakfast with the cutest little cosy to make you smile! This is a great scrap buster too for all the remnants of your fave fabrics that you can't bring yourself to get rid of.

APRON

This apron will get you thinking up things to bake just so you can wear it! And if you're not a baker, using the toaster is definitely now an apron-wearing task!

SKILLET PAN HANDLE COVER

Sear your food, not your hands! Keep yourself protected with this skillet pan handle cover, proof that something practical can be oh so pretty, too.

COFFEE POT HOLDER

If you're not really a morning person, the coffee pot is likely one of the first things to put a smile on your face when you wake up. Add a bright holder to your cafetière for days when you need a bit more encouragement.

POT HOLDER

Keep your hands and surfaces safe with this sunny pot holder. And when you're not using it for your pans, the handy tab for hanging it up means it'll brighten up the kitchen walls in-between uses.
