All I know about the fantastically-named Calamity Kim is her eponymous blog, but I like to think of her as being a bit like someone's fairy godmother, living in a gingerbread house. Everything on her beautifully decorated site speaks of nostalgic, homely pleasures, from colour co-ordinated cupcakes to intricately fashioned aprons made with dozens of different quirky fabrics. Quilts are clearly her first love, butembroidery is also second to none, and clearly the result of a very steady hand and a lot of patience!
How she has the time to source and make all these goodies, God alone knows. But the results are definitely inspiring.
