About author

MeiHi,
I am Mei and I am a foodie, yarn lover, world traveller, gourmet coffee drinker, a wife and a mother. From a very early age, I have loved sewing and knitting, my other passions include learning languages and travelling.

I moved to Edinburgh, Scotland in the summer of 2012, having lived in London for over 15 years and the last previous 5 years in Beijing, China.

I find inspiration in many things – especially in the environment around us – I wish I was a tidy person, but I love being surrounded by creative clutter!
