Hi, my name is Julia and I live in beautiful Scottish highlands with my husband and 2 Scottie dogs. I have spent the major part of my adult life living in a big crazy city and working crazy hours for big multinational companies.
As challenging and exciting as it was, I don’t think I was ever as happy as I feel every time I create something in my tiny shop, surrounded by tools and sawdust.
This passion for DIY and woodworking wasn’t a sudden discovery; I was always a very crafty child, from fence painting to sewing, to jewellery making, always ready to try any king of DIY / craft work. If I wanted a dolls house, my grandpa would simply give me plywood scraps and nails and tell me to show him when it’s ready.
I’m incredibly lucky to have this opportunity in life to pursue my passion and devote time to what I love doing. Mostly I owe it to my extremely supporting husband.
I’m a strong believer, that if you create something with love, it carries those happy vibes to the new owners as well, and I’m happy to spread joy and happiness this way all around the world (as far as Royal mail can deliver of course
These handsome boys are Kasper, Cosmo and Hector.
Kasper, who is no longer with us, will always have a very special place in my heart.
Our perfect little gentleman and the smartest and best behaved dog ever, Kasper has been the inspiration behind many of my designs and creations, including the original Scottie Lid Holder.
Cosmo arrived in to our lives in the summer of 2018, and with his huge personality he quickly became a member of the family, and it’s very hard to remember life without him. Then we have the most recent addition, and naughtiest of them all - Hector. Full of scottitude and mischief, yet still a very sweet and affectionate boy 😊
Although all of them are not huge fans of all the noise my wood-working tools make, they are always happy to pop in and check on the saw dust level in the shop, usually carrying a good portion of it back to the house on their gorgeous kilts 🙂
