Meet Cassie

Writer, maker, vintage dresser, chronic over-committer and collector of projects that seemed like a good idea at the time.

Mostly found somewhere between a notebook, a sewing machine and the sea.

The Wayward Bramble grew out of a life that never quite fitted neatly into one box — stories, sewing, everyday magic, family adventures, books, old things, wild places and the stubborn belief that a slightly unconventional life can still be a very good one.

Stories & Books
Children’s fiction, articles, Bramble projects and whatever is currently escaping from the notebook.

Making & Everyday Magic
Sewing, seasonal bits, handmade things and the sort of practical magic that usually involves string, flour or a glue gun.

There’s always another path through the hedge.

Wandering Off the Path
Travel, gatherings, family adventures and places that make life feel a little bigger.
