"We redheads are a minority, we tend to notice each other - you know, and notice our identity"

Julianne Moore

There's a Ms or Mr Cappuccino in all of us. Any creative knows how important that first cup of coffee is, whether you're the type to linger over that first flat white as you plan your day in solitude, or sip your latte at your local before jumping on the morning train.

Creativity has to do with our ability to link ideas, entities and concepts in novel ways, whether that's writing a poem or cleverly coming  up with a new mathematical proof. This ability depends in part on the very thing that caffeine seeks to prevent: a wandering, unfocussed mind.

We all know Ms Cappuccino Redhead so this delightful kit is the perfect project or gift for a crafty caffeine lover.

Each kit contains:

♡ Hand-drawn pattern on calico cotton
♡ 20cm wooden hoop
♡ 6 stranded cotton embroidery threads
♡ 2x Needles
♡ Easy Picture Instructions

Combining reach, strength, and precision, this tool is also invaluable for all general plant styling, as well as for Japanese Ikebana and Western floristry.

Ideal for precision and detailed pruning and cutting of all indoor plants, these Japanese pruning scissors are part of a collection of specialist houseplant tools.

All wrapped up

An indispensable item for greenhouses, garden sheds and craft studios taking inspiration from traditional garlic baskets. Garden Trading have adapted the design allowing a ball of twine to sit centrally, feeding the end of the string through the hole in its base.

With an Antique Brass finish, they've also juxtaposed the colours matching with a ball of contemporary carbon coloured Jute string with deep tones of midnight blue.

The functional yet beautifully decorative piece can be hung effortlessly whether ready to string up plants in the garden or use as that finishing touch to present wrapping.

Wattle & Loop bring you colourful, do-able slow stitch embroidery kits that you will lovingly complete. No more 'hope' boxes of embroidery projects sitting gathering dust at the top of your wardrobe.

Better still, the designs are contemporary and totally framable. You'll feel a great sense of satisfaction hanging them around your house or, perhaps, your new creative studio as your own ideas begin to unfurl.
