I have been happily overwhelmed with orders, and am printing everything myself, so despatch is taking a few days. I will do my very best to get orders to you pre-Christmas, but any order placed after 7th Dec cannot be guaranteed. If there’s enough demand, i’ll reopen orders in January.

For more ‘Good Things’, and any calendar reprint updates, sign-up to my monthly newsletter.

An A3 sugar paper calendar of wholesome titbits, designed to comfort and delight. For every calendar sold, £5 will go directly to Doctors Without Borders.From instructions on dyeing fabric with natural materials, to making the best Indian snacks to enjoy with ice cold beer, the secret to the world’s greatest tomato sauce, to the classiest cocktail you have ever sipped.

I began this project in 2020, at the height of lockdown. Many of my faithful friends responded to my request for ‘wholesome activities to share in a seasonal calendar’ right away, which means they have sat, marked unread in my inbox, I am ashamed to say, for nearly five years.

But here they are, finally, together with my illustrations, and I hope it is worth the wait. My friends are a creative crowd, and I love them.
