About Me

I live in the UK and started crafting as a child, knitting, sewing, cross stitch trying to make Blue Peter projects out of bits of loo roll ,glue and cotton wool! anything really but in my twenties other things got in the way and sadly I stopped crafting.

 

I rediscovered my love of crafting with a paper craft kit bought in 2002 and from there the flame was ignited again.

 

I bought a Craft Robo electronic cutter and started designing cards, cutting files and making CD tutorials then I moved on to a Pazzles Inspiration cutter which is fab but I use an iMac now and cannot use my Pazzles software so have stopped designing for a while until Pazzles can bring out software that will work on a Mac, come on Pazzles please.

 

So I have turned my attention to machine sewing and the occasional spot of up cycling/painting of furniture. I also design websites and run a business and a home.

 

My blog is for me and a place where I can put my thoughts and projects if you drop by and read my blog I hope you may be inspired to do a spot of crafting yourself.
