According to Heat, she spent her 35th birthday sewing pinnies.
So it’s not crazy to suggest she might do a haberdashery line, right. KP Equestrian is a real thing, y’know.

Me + Not On The Highstreet Make Awards 2013
The good news? I’m very excited to be a judge in this year’s Make Awards, along with Holly Becker of decor8 and the two founders and a couple of other most excellent guys. I’m in very good company and very honoured to be there.
You guys can vote too.

Nicola Horlick: when on earth does she have time to sew?
The uber-business woman admits to the Daily Mail that she loves it. Fair – it’s an amazing de-stressor – but, still. She’s got FIVE kids and a MEGA job. I write about this kind of thing, and still rarely get the time to make.

Jewellery makers: you need to know about this shiz.
The London jewellery meet-up is a monthly networking event for jewellery designers who want to get ahead in the business side of their, well, business. It’s organised by the very awesome Jessica Rose of the London Jewellery School.
