We built our own studio! We laid the breeze blocks, we wired the sockets, we chose a handsome armchair for the puppy to sleep in. Here‘s Part 1 of the project!

We’re SO PROUD to announce that, as of today, our studio is 100% solar powered! That includes the laser cutter, the label printer, the laptop, you name it!
This has been another one of our long-term goals, and we’re so happy to be able to share the news with you all - from a computer we charged with the solar panel in this photo. SO META!
As you may have already seen on my social media channels, my beautiful spouse and I are taking a huge leap and moving full-time to our house renovation in the West of France! It’ll be a while until I can unpack my studio and stock in a nice clean environment so I’m putting a pause on shipping for at least all of this month (May 2021) and possibly a little longer, depending on how quickly we progress with the first parts of the renovation. You can still place orders, but please be aware that I won’t be shipping anything until at least June. There are some exceptions, though…

Welcome to the latest instalment of my really useful, low-impact gift guides! This week I’m taking you on a tour of some awesome gift ideas for sewists. Giving presents is really fun, but it’s more important than ever that we make sure that we’re giving people gifts that they’d really love to receive, and won’t end up going straight to landfill.

That’s right, I’m on the move! I’ll tell you more about where I’m moving to a bit closer to the time, but right now I’m on a mission to make sure that I’ll be able to fit the contents of Cepheid Studio into the moving truck. This is great news for anyone with a keen eye for a bargain; I have so many lines in the sale that you’ll hopefully be spoiled for choice!

Python notepads and washi tape from Cepheid Studio.
Python is a joyous language to code in (believe me, I’ve spent time trying to edit someone else’s code written in C and it was the worst), which is why I’ve immortalised it in this stationery set. In fact, I designed the notepads to work as a real Jupyter Notebook! The code sets up the numbered lines for your ‘to do’ list, and then congratulates you if you manage to tick everything off the list. But hey, what happens if you don’t manage to finish the whole list? The code is very forgiving and knows we’re only human. “Never mind”, it says, “there’s always tomorrow!”.
