I love the light in my studio in the afternoons. It’s sunny, warm and makes interesting shadows appear on the frosted glass. I have a few found objects lined up along the edge of the window and some of these a glass pieces I’ve found on the beaches near where I live. I love the [...]

Milo had his booster jabs this afternoon and has not been his usual giggly self since. He’s been quiet all afternoon, off his food and rather sleepy. He had his milk, then some Calpol and then promptly dozed off on Daddy’s shoulder. I couldn’t resist taking a photo…

My sons room is a work in progress – STILL – but I’m getting there! I can’t believe Milo is still sleeping in the spare bedroom as I’ve encountered so many problems whilst redecorating his room that progress has been really slow. The wallpaper came off really easily, but what lay beneath wasn’t pleasant. I [...]

I can’t believe that just over a year ago Milo came into our lives and blessed us with so much joy! A year or so ago he got his first ever letter/parcel in the post from the lovely ladies at Fife Contemporary Art & Craft. We opened it to find the loveliest, smallest, cutest little [...]

My son took his first unsupported steps today! Amazing! I have no photo’s, no video and no need for either. He’s amazed me in so many ways today and I love him to bits! I do have photo’s of him making a complete mess with his porridge this evening though – enjoy…
The Milomade motto is "Too good to waste..." and I am a hoarder and a modern day magpie, constantly collecting lost and unwanted things, forgotten items, snippets of colour and patterns, as well as objects washed up by the sea. Everything is categorised and filed away for future use and informs my practice as a jeweller/designer/maker. Through the process now commonly termed as 'upcycling' i.e. the practice of taking something unused/unwanted and transforming it into something of greater use and value, I design and manufacture contemporary jewellery, accessories and stationery from recycled materials such as buttons, leather, silver cutlery, maps, envelopes, paper and fabric. The Milomade product range is full of delightful suprises, so if you're looking for a unique gift for someone special, you know where to come...
