Making a Mark in the Chapel’s History

Having taken on the chapel in 2016, it wasn’t just a physical renovation we were undertaking, we were also becoming part of the history of this beautiful building that originated in the village in 1892.

April News from the workshop – Living the life you dream of!

In January 2021, I completed a vision workshop with Michala Leyland. She taught me how to visualise what I want to achieve in the near future regarding Semper Hopkins Upholstery & Interiors and how I can balance my time without burning out! Michala has changed my perspective on how to use my time wisely and it is something I am so glad I have done! 2022 is the year I will be focusing on myself more…

Celebrating one year of running Upholstery workshops at Semper Hopkins Upholstery and Interiors

It has been 12 months now since we first ran our in person upholstery workshops here at Semper Hopkins - and what a year it has been! From starting with our Storage crate then introducing our Stool and Bench workshops later in 2021, and now our footstools and deep buttoned workshops… we have come a long way in so little time!

2022 The year of doing the things I love, and the year I turn 40….

Where has 2022 gone? We are already at the end of March. This year marks a big milestone birthday for me. I turn 40 on the 21st April, very luck to share the same birthday as the Queen. At the beginning of the year I had considered writing up 40 things I wanted to do when I turn 40, but that seemed like a daunting task to think of 40 things and it takes precious time, so here I am just going along with it and doing it. My motto for 2022 was to do more things that make me happy, and doing less planning is one of them!

Design and make a piece of furniture for your home with Semper Hopkins

Do you find yourself constantly browsing the internet or Pinterest looking for interior inspiration or new furniture ideas? I am exactly the same. I love finding inspiration different from what is out there on the market. High street furniture can be right for some people, but if you want something a little unique or different, it is not always the place to find it.

International day of happiness – do more things that make you happy!

International Day of Happiness is on 20th March 2022 and takes place across the UN and its focus is build back happier and make peoples wellbeing a top priority. As we will all know, with how things have been the last two years, this day of happiness might not have always been the ‘happiest’. It was much harder to do things which made us happy last year with the UK being in lockdown, not being able to see those we love and not being able to do day to day activities we once, perhaps, took for granted!

Making Time For Mum…

Making time for yourself as a mother is one of the most important things you can do as part as self-care. Of course, keeping busy and looking after your children will be a main priority, and your work if that applies.
