I recently threw out a load of old zip files – obsolute technology containing files I can no longer access. I’ve held onto them for so long, but decided at last that there was no point keeping them as the information stored on them was now no longer accessible. I wish I’d know about the […]

When you become a parent, cardboard takes on a whole new meaning. It’s such a versatile material and kids love the stuff. Can’t get enough of it. Our recycling bin over the past few years has been raided so many times and cardboard has become such a precious thing that we rarely throw it out […]
I’ve been working steadily over the past few months on a new collection of jewellery. It’s based on a few pieces I’ve always made and have sold successfully in the past. I just want to expand the range and develop it fully as I intend to launch the collection at BCTF next year.
I made these pendants a while ago and never really finished them off. I just discovered them in a box whilst looking for something else.
Colin’s sister gave Milo a small backpack a while ago and he loves wearing it and filling it with bits and bobs. Today we put it to good use.
One of the lovely gifts I received for my birthday this year was an Amazon gift voucher (thanks Kenny & Jose). So I treated myself to a couple of books and one of these arrived today. It looks amazing and I cant wait to get stuck in and try out some new techniques and ideas.
Some of you may know that not only do I run Milomade, but I’m also a freelance web designer and run Eskymo New Media Design. I did a favour for a friend recently, taking lots of lovely photographs of her work for a new website I hope to design and build for her quite soon. […]

I got these on eBay the other day. Two are the same pattern with a lovely engraved letter ‘G’ on them. The other has a twisted stem and the end looks like it’s been broken off, but I thought it was interesting enough to purchase. I bought it for the challenge.
I did the Charity Chic Eco fashion Fair last year and it was great fun and so I was really pleased to find that I can have a stall at the event again this year too. It’s a three day event with lots of stalls crammed with amazing creativity made from recycled/upcycled materials – Milomade […]
