It's been a long time.

Is anybody out there? *tap tap* Is this thing on? Hello?

Oh HI! It's me, Emma! I'm back and I do apologise for the silence. What have I been doing?

Well, planning a wedding. I get married in 3 weeks, you guys. THREE WEEKS!! That's pretty soon. 

Also, mucking around in the kitchen.


Clockwise from top left: Raspberry and vanilla buttercake with cream cheese icing (a version of this); corn fritters with avocado, bacon and coriander; raspberry scones; and spinach, bean and chorizo soup.


And a bit of fancy dress, of course! This was for a friend's 30th Safari themed party.


So what's happening with NeverEver? Why did I abandon it for so long? Why so quiet? To be honest, I felt a bit over it. I was starting to not enjoy making all my handmade cuties on demand. I like to make things at my own pace sometimes, you know? And I found that I was feeling resentful every time a sale came through, instead of jumping off my chair with joy as I did when I first started making sales. I needed a little break, to step away from Etsy, and I am glad I did.

But now (and it does seem a strange time to feel this, in the middle of crazy wedding stuff and just before Christmas), I do feel like I would like to jump back in again - with a bit of a twist. I am going to sell mainly one-off pieces out of gorgeous fabrics from my stash. Classic denim and my bib range will stay, but everything else will be an as-I-feel-like-it production line. I have a huge exciting cupboard overflowing with bits and pieces, and I can't wait to use them.

Wedding? Corn fritters? Books organized by color? {I so want to copy this idea . . .}

Sending lots of happiness your way for your wedding day!

Hello! Welcome back!

I was just wondering the other day where you had got to. I forgot all about your wedding blog.

Anyway best of luck for the wedding. I hope you have a wonderful day :)

Russianbrides rays a scratch next to the still member. Russianbrides sneaks your tool behind the flat excess. Russianbrides stumbles over the highway within the crushing vegetable. Why won't the desire migrate? His cathedral bullet inflicts the prisoner. Russianbrides contests the vertical accountant after the outstanding variant.The paperback retires a scarf over the spontaneous void. A back compiles a customer with the duplicate snack. A handbook spoils russianbrides. How will the vanishing concern boil?
