And just like that, Halloween is over, Half Term is behind us and the shops transform themselves into winter wonderlands. (Yes, the advent calendars are already on the shelves!)

For me, November is the calm before the storm. A time to lean into cosy, enjoy an open fire, read books and play games ahead of all the busyness that December brings.

Does your home feel like a place that supports you, where you can snuggle down and relax?

If not, I’d love to help you make that a reality ahead of the festive season.

With just 8 available sessions remaining this month, don’t hesitate if you have a date it mind. Let’s get it booked in for you, so you can go into the Christmas period feeling empowered and supported, ready to enjoy it all!

You deserve it. 🄰

Look at this incredible autumnal display at The Sewstainable Barn at entrance to Pulborough Garden Centre

I popped in last week to donate some fabrics, lampshades and cross-stitch materials amongst other things, and was so impressed with the range of items, the creativity and aesthetic display. Honestly this place is so inspiring and such a treat to the eyes.

Not only that, but the warmth with which we were received was just so lovely. We’d never visited before and yet my daughter was immediately offered to join in the playdough activity while I unloaded my donations.

We loved our visit, and wished we could have stayed longer. I highly recommend you pop along and see what they are up to.

Thank you to my recent clients, who have made this donation possible through their kindness and generosity.

This one might resonate…

If your home is feeling a little overwhelming this week, it might be the fact that it is half term, and all that rain isn’t helping.

OR

It might be that your home is overstimulating you.
Too much noise, too many toys, too much clutter.

(It’s probably a bit of both, to be fair!)

If you are thinking of doing a half term sort out with your little ones, this book by EmilyGravett AuthorIllustrator might help you broach the subject in a way that is accessible for them.

Without giving too much away, it tells the story of a family of birds who keep gathering more and more for their babies…

It is available from westsussexlibraries and all good book stores.

Do let me know your thoughts!

I know we are just settling into half term, and haven’t yet made it to Halloween šŸŽƒā€¦ but with the weather turning distinctly colder and wetter, and the nights closing in, our focus begins to settle on the end of the year.

Festive plans are being firmed up with loved ones, and perhaps you are starting to worry about the state of the spare room, or where all of the gifts are actually going to go.

If you would like to feel more confident in inviting guests over, or simply make life a little easier and enjoyable at home during these darker months, please do get in touch.

I can help your home feel like your sanctuary. The place where you are most able to relax and enjoy the company of your favourite people.

November and December 1:1 Decluttering & Organising sessions are booking up, so don’t delay if you have a date in mind.

I’d love to help you, love your home again.

Did you know that there are a team of lovely volunteers, who repurpose fabric into reusable tote bags, which are then given away for free… with the aim of reducing single use plastic!

Isn’t it incredible, that people give up their time and expertise to do this, all in the hope of improving the environmental impact of our society.

This scheme is always up and running in many areas of West Sussex, and I am extremely hopeful that we can bring it to Horsham and the surrounding areas before too long.

I was delighted to be introduced to it by the lovely Fiona jamtartsardinglywi when I did a talk there, earlier in the year.

I am always happy to supply any fabrics I receive from my clients, in support of this wonderful initiative.

If you, or anyone you know would like to help create these bags, or indeed stock them… get in touch, and we can get thinking!

So, if you or someone you know could make good use of them, please do let me know.

Let’s get these folders back into use. I’m thinking schools, colleges, offices, or charity shops.

What a weekend!

Wow! Sometimes you just have a take a little minute to pinch yourself, and make sure it really sinks in, what you have just achieved.

Yesterday I spoke, as part of a panel with the wonderful Kat Lord Kathryn Lord and Katie Montgomery Katie Montgomery

We were hosted by the lovely Kelsey on the Home Life & You Home Stage at Excel London and discussed all things decluttering and organising, each bringing our own experiences and expertise.

It was so exciting to be a part of this huge annual event, at such an important venue, and to be able to share my knowledge.

On top of all that, I did my first London Session… as a long term client asked very nicely, if I would help them in their London property. We made great progress sorting through things and planning our next steps.

And incase that wasn’t enough, I also managed to squeeze in some quality time with good friends that I don’t get to see as often as I would like, and ate delicious food along the way.

It is safe to say, my cup is feeling very full right now!

Can’t wait for this week’s sessions.

I’m so glad I get to do all of this. 🄰

I had to share this with you.

Recently, when working with a client, we came across this old LCD drawing pad that hadn’t been used in a while and they no longer needed.

I checked it, and realised it wasn’t working. The first thought was, oh never mind, we can’t donate it if it isn’t working.

Then I remembered that you can change the battery in these, as I had done for my own little one. I decided to take it home, and see if the batteries I had bought for mine would fit this. It seemed a shame for it to go to landfill just because of a battery.

Unfortunately, mine were not the right type. Disappointing.

Then I remembered that I had helped a previous client with their battery storage, and that they had quite a variety… I thought; ā€˜I wonder if they will have the battery I need, to be able to donate this?’

I reached out, and was delighted that they were happy to help. They even popped this lovely card through my door as they were passing a few days later. Amazing!

I got to work replacing the battery, and am pleased to say that it has done the trick. The drawing pad is now ready for donation.

When we work together and help each other out, we can achieve great things.

Thank you for all your support. 🄰

Any wellbeing fundraisers coming up?

One of my lovely clients decided it was time to part with her extensive collection of nail varnishes, and I’d love them to be put to good use.

I’m thinking a charity fundraiser focused on wellbeing and self care perhaps… or a stall at a PTA event (like a paint and sip or some other lovely event?)

If anyone has any other ideas I’d love to hear them.

How can we get these to help others, either by direct donation or by fundraising… hmm 🧐

Tag someone who you think could make good use of them, or DM me if you prefer. Thank you 🄰
