The Masked Singer UK 2023!

“Paula was brilliant and our staff have not stopped raving about her since the session. She was ensuring everyone enjoyed learning to arm knit. We will definitely book again.”

“Paula ran a brilliant workshop as part of my company’s International Women’s Day celebrations. She sent the yarn out to multiple offices & homes, we all got a choice of colour & within two hours created the most wonderful chunky blankets! Everyone had the best time & Paula was a brilliant teacher (extra appreciation for doing the session via Zoom!).”

“Thank you for a happy crafting evening Paula.
The stars and blanket have been much admired & there may be more customers next year!
”

“What a great workshop I did with you on Sunday at Pitfield Barn. I love my blanket and lots of friends love it too! I’m planning to make another so I will order the wool on line 😁 and follow your tutorial, 🤞! ”

“Paula, we met today at Farnham Maltings, and I bought this kit (Cochet Storage Basket) in the teal and white. I started the bag when I got home and completed it within 3 hours!!! I’ve never finished a project in the same week or month, let alone the same day. hank you for the instructions and the video and I’ll be looking out for more of your kits.”

“As a very mixed ability group some of us were apprehensive about learning arm knitting, but it was an absolute blast!! Paula was warm, patient & funny so made the whole process bloomin’ wonderful! Thanks again for the workshop & we will definitely be booking something else in!!!”

“Just wanted to show you my finished throw. I absolutely love it! I’ve just watched your videos & they are all very clear and make perfect sense. You have a lovely clear & calm voice which makes it very relaxing to listen to. I made it in a couple of hours last night by following your videos &nd it was so easy, thank you so much! That’s my son Oliver, he loves it too! ”

“Really good videos, I made it easily thanks to your really clear great video. My little boy is a blanket lover & has already had a snuggle.
Thanks so much. ”

“Bohemian, with a thoroughly modern nod to the 1970’s. Cocoon&me is one of my favourite finds of 2017. When I first stumbled on Paula’s cleverly designed bags and super cute plant holders I succumbed to two pieces straight away; a graduated dip-dyed denim handbag complete with fringing and a more neutral roomy shopper. People comment whenever I carry them and I’m pretty sure more obsessional buys will happen once the website launches. Ethical - vegan and infinitely stylish, this modern day hippie is totally smitten.”

“We LOVE these adorable cocoon shaped herb planters! Our lovely friend Paula has recently launched textile business Cocoon&me, where she hand makes crocheted planters amongst other goodies. Perfect for hanging in the kitchen where you can grab your favorite herbs for cooking, they also have a pot inside them which stores water to keep your herbs nice & fresh. The cocoons themselves are made of Jute, a natural plant fibre.”

“We have worked closely with Paula/Cocoon&me on several projects & it is always a pleasure. Paula is able to interpret your ideas, make samples & advise on materials meaning that your project has a totally unique look. Having Cocoon&me involved in a project takes the worry out of meeting deadlines & delivers exactly as you imagined”

“We are constantly amazed at the energy and creativity of Paula from Cocoon&me; so many different and unique designs, plus her wonderful workshops. A total inspiration to any other embryonic business, plus a source of delightful and useful designs for you, your home, or business. We are delighted that Cocoon&me are part of our collection.”

“I first saw Paula’s work in a local café, and immediately had to find out who had created the amazing array of macramé plant holders and accessories.
Paula’s work has a simplicity and beauty that is timeless. It has been a joy watching her expend and grow her business and see more and more of her beautiful pieces evolve from dream state to reality.
We immediately were drawn to catch up with Paula, and feature her as one of our “Artists in Focus”. She typifies so many ambitions to turn a passion into a thriving business.
Yeah!!! Go Paula!!!”

“A really enjoyable WI Social event arranged for us by Paula at Al Campo.
We had opted for the basic macrame pot holder workshop. With Paula’s tuition, guidance and handy notes all of us felt a real sense of achievement at the end of the evening when we went away with our completed pot holders.
Thanks to Paula and her great organisation, we will definitely look to schedule in another workshop soon.”

“I love my macramé dog lead! The kit instructions are really easy to follow, it only took me an hour to make & I’ve never done macramé before. It looks really pretty and is so unique, everyone’s so impressed when I tell them I made it. I’m so glad I found out about Cocoon& me at the knitting show, I would definitely recommend trying the kits!”
