“It’s not easy for anyone to give up all our freedoms at once, but I am enjoying the ‘slowing down’ part of staying at home. When not looking after my three kids and their homeschooling, I try to daydream as much as possible. I find inspirations and therapy through some of my books (focusing on all things Ottoman right now) and creating moodboards and schemes with swatches of fabric. I also started watercolouring… I guess I need to surround myself with patterns and colours to survive!”
