Time In terms of crafting and sewing I’ve realised that over the last couple of years the time I’ve given myself to practice and play at my craft and subsequently develop my skills and creativity has dwindled away to nothing. Some of this is to do with having too many projects on the go, some [...]
I’m delighted to introduce you all to Stephanie Corfee who contacted me with an offer of a guest post about giving your child’s room a makover.

Next week I’m going to London to attend the Cybermummy conference, I’ve got my business cards and today wanted to start my day with a bit of sewing so I decided to make my cards a little purse. I tweeted the results and a soon enough a friend asked for one and before I knew it [...]
Welcome to the first of what I hope will be a monthly event, an interview with a crafter, blogger or online business person that inspires me. Today I’d like to introduce you to Maggy Woodley. I came across Maggy’s craft blog, Red Ted Art, last year and was quite frankly smitten and a little bit [...]
