Make Do Drink; Chat – Nicola Darwen, Freelance Designer & MDD Founder

For 2021 we thought we’d start a new mini-series; Make Do Drink; Chat.

We’ll be getting in touch with some of our fave makers, business owners, freelancers and bloggers and asking them for their Make’s, Do’s & Drink’s of the moment! 

It’s a great way to showcase even more local or independent businesses and we’ll create a directory of everyone’s picks, adding to it throughout the year!

(Also, we know it doesn’t quite fit in with the branding, but we LOVE a playlist as well, so we’ll be adding on a cheeky ‘Top 5 Tracks of the Moment’ question too so we can start a MEGA 2021 playlist!)

We’ll kick off the series close to home with one of our Make Do Drink Founder’s, Nicola Darwen.

Make;
I’m still tie-dying anything that isn’t tied (lol) down, but I’ve also got a Glass House boob pot and a Katie Gilles Surface Design terrazzo coaster kit to get started on…

Do;
Refusing to take down the perfect/awful foil garland my friend got me for #homeofficechristmas, bottling gin with the berries my mum and I foraged (then froze and forgot about) in autumn and gearing up for the return of the Zoom quiz!

 

Drink;
Last years sloe gin, far too many mochas and the occasional bedtime Goosnargh Gin hot chocolate (Great sleep guaranteed!)
