Hello, I’m Sara!

Welcome to Scraps and Coffee Grounds, my little corner of the internet dedicated to creativity, homemade living and making the most of what we already have.

I’m Sara, a physiotherapist, a mum, a curious maker and a big fan of second-hand treasures, natural ingredients and handmade things.

How it all began

My interest in natural wellbeing started long before this blog. As a physiotherapist, I was already drawn to plants and vegetable oils. But becoming a mother made me look more closely at the ingredients in the products we used every day. I began making more things at home, paying attention to additives and choosing simpler alternatives whenever I could.

Then came sewing: matching outfits for my daughter and me, little toys made from simple and recycled materials, and countless creative experiments.

Homeschooling for three years brought even more ideas, projects and discoveries into our everyday life. Little by little, all these experiences grew into Scraps and Coffee Grounds.

What you’ll find here

A little bit of everything I love:

• DIY, upcycling and creative projects

• Natural homemade skincare and household recipes

• Sewing, slow fashion and thrifted finds

• Seasonal recipes and simple living

• Kids’ activities, family adventures and travel inspiration

I believe creativity doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. It’s about experimenting, reusing, learning and finding joy in making things yourself.

I’m happy you’re here. Grab a coffee, explore the blog and make yourself at home!

With love,
Sara ♡
