Your Stories
Millie
Members of little Millie's family wrote the words 'I love you' in their own handwriitng. Brought together in one piece, this heirloom became a quiet expression of family, made up of many voices yet all saying the same thing. A reminder as she grows of how loved she is.
Paul
After moving abroad, Paul chose a small Éire frame as a reminder that home doesn't disappear when you leave it, it can be carried with you wherever you go.
Ruth
This piece was created to honour two dogs, one still here and one remembered forever. Both held in the same frame, reflecting the fact that love doesn't end when something is lost, it simply changes shape.
Patrick
Patrick's piece was created to represent home. It was not about a building, but a feeling. This was a reminder that belonging doesn't need to have a fixed address.
Rachel & Karen
Rachel & Karen's wedding trilogy was created from their handwritten words. Their own little way to say I love you. The notes were stitched exactly as they were written and brought to life with a photo from their wedding day.
P&T
This heirloom brings together handwritten thank you notes from Paul & Terry's children and their partners. They wanted to gift them a small acknowledgement of gratitude & love for their support through surgeries, weddings, new homes and their everyday kindness. Each note preserved an individual thank you, held together in one frame.

This work began with my own wedding vows. Preserved exactly as they were written & promised, they became a way for me to hold on to the words that mattered too much to be thrown in a wedding memory box, a drawer or lost.
