This week has been all about Scottish heritage in the craft room — tartan, thistles, woodgrain and a whole lot of cosy creativity. I’ve been busy finishing a new batch of laser-cut Scottish makes, from thistle-engraved accessories to a tartan-backed noughts and crosses game that feels straight out of a Highland cottage. Each piece uses reclaimed tartan from the kilt-making industry here in Scotland, keeping every make sustainable, personal, and rooted in home. I’ve also shared a brand-new YouTube video chatting through my latest yarn projects and inspirations, so grab a cuppa and come craft with me!
