I’m making some changes to the Summerland shop at the moment, so please do bear with me while I do so, you can still shop at the Summerland Etsy shop and in the meantime this site will have some great new blog posts and content going up through the New Year. If you have a [...]
Summerland is on the move! Only three streets away from where we are now and while I’ll be giving up my lovely attic workroom with its beautiful views I will be gaining a dining room and a big garden and, perhaps, one day a cat too. In the meantime I have to pack and the [...]

get derailed by life. I had planned to post a craft tutorial on how to make ribbon hairbands in time for half term, but my little girl has had a sickness bug since the weekend and so I’ve been busy looking after her. Admittedly this mostly involves a constant stream of Cbeebies and cuddles on [...]
I’ve been quiet on the blog recently because I’ve been working on new products as well as spending time trying to re-organise the shop element of the site to make it easier to find things. As you may have already seen I’ve added the Keepsake Critters product line. I love these little fellas. The idea [...]
