About Me

Welcome!
My name is Beth, wife to a kind quirky man, mum to a spirited little lady Delphie, daughter and sister to a wonderful family, and friend to some of life's good 'uns.




I live in Wales with my family. I work in the Third Sector 9-5 and run my jewellery and home decor business, Sass + Kitsch around work and life!

Creativity is my soul food. I basically like all the things: interior design, photography, painting, fibre craft (knitting, weaving etc), baking, writing, singing, the list goes on! We love to throw a party and get dressed up in fancy dress. I'm an outdoor fantasist which means I love the outdoors but for some unknown reason I don't make the most of it.

My dream is to one day live by the sea with four children and a few cats. I would love a job working from home using one of more of my creative endeavours and then have time in the evenings for socialising or Netflix. At the moment Netflix seems to take priority and I guess that's what they call being stuck in a rut!

That's me!

It's a girl!

It happened!  At 11:35 on Sunday 11th October 2015 Delphie November took her first breath and my heart exploded.  It was such a shock to hear my husband announce we had a girl that it took me a few minutes to believe it.  She had a head full of dark hair and her eyes were pools of ink that stared up at me. She was a stranger in so many ways yet when she looked at me I already felt as if we knew each other.

2019.... I've been waiting for you. I avoided you. You held the hope of a new time, a time where there had to be less stress, less strain, more balance. Let's just get through 2018 and start again, I said. I avoided you because I felt that my wishing time away was wasteful, unappreciative, foolish. Let's just appreciate the here and now, I said. I don't know the meaning of difficulties, I said. I'm surrounded by blessings, I'm so lucky, I said. So, 2018 I flip flopped between trying to grip onto the fullness of you, and craving a lighter, future heart. The war began. 2018, you brought me joy, grief, challenge, growth, ambition, stress, worry, anxiety, heartache. I started a business, I appreciated the reality and potential of my new dream home, I held firm and facilitated core changes in my charity day job, I felt the burden of responsibility to parent well and raise a happy soul. I lost a grandparent, my family had challenges of heart and body, my ma...

6 month madness approaches

So people say, "It gets easier" to give us hope that the insanity of life with a young baby won't be life forever as we know it. But what happens when you haven't found life [braces]  that bad?  (please don't hate me), and the prospect of a crying, talking,  sleeping , walking, living doll* gives you sleepless nights.  Yes. I get sleepless nights from thinking about future rearing of an infant and not from real-time infant, because my angelic truffle of loveliness sleeps like the proverbial most of the time.  Ok, feel completely free to hate me. I would.
