Purbeck Block Print Studio

It’s March which means is

My name is Sophie and I am a mother of two young adults, owned by a dog and two cats, and in real life I work for

In a previous life I made and sold candles but as my children got more independent I fell out of love with making them and a chance encounter with has led to a love of block printing which has helped calm my brain and slowing me down and has also helped with being able to focus better in other activities. I have started to run workshops and sell at events and on Etsy.

I also have a love of sea swimming all year round, reading and having a go at other crafts, some more successfully than others.

After losing my husband to cancer 8 years ago I had rediscovered my love of travelling and adventure, Carpe Diem and all that

It’s the start of a new week and what a glorious start to it walking Dave. I love the mornings this time of year, when it’s not raining, with the mist and the sun just getting through.

I have some nice plans this week, swimming, of course, lunch with Catherine from to check out a space for a Christmas workshop day, supper with friends from Australia while trying not to hyperventilate about an 18th birthday party being held at home and an extra day off for annual leave.

Let’s see how it all works out 😂

An indulgent end to a week and a bit of annual leave which was fairly frenetic at times, a wonderful full moon sauna with and a swim last night with a fabulous group of women and then out today on a boat for a beach picnic, and yes I do and I am trying to be because life can really be too short sometimes (sorry for the cheesiness)
