Happy Saturday!

It is hard to believe that this beautiful collection is 2 years old. I still love crafting with Little Robin Redbreast.

According to the dramatic weather reports, the UK will be covered in snow this weekend. Is it snowing where you are?

Happy New Year's Eve!

2024 has been a year of change in the craft world, especially with the closure of Create and Craft TV. But it’s been inspiring to see how craft companies have regrouped and found new ways to connect with their audience.

I am so grateful to still be creating with two of my favourite UK-based brands, and strawberrymoonbysuetaylor

For one reason or another, I have created less this year, but I feel a new creative phase coming on—and who knows where it will lead! Perhaps a journal (or two) is on the horizon.

A warm welcome to my new followers, and a heartfelt thank you to my constant supporters—I truly appreciate your kind words and encouragement.

Wishing you all a happy, creative 2025 filled with inspiration, peace, and joy in your craft space. 💕🎨

Happy Thursday!

I have had the pleasure of being with a diverse group of talented women, taking part in a 12-week program run by Chichester CDT.

We have been inspired to develop our creative, nurturing, and community-focused ideas, with support from an incredible team of mentors and guest speakers: to build our own small businesses.

Our program comes to an end in mid-December, but a new course will begin in January 2025. If you would like further details, then please contact the team at CCDT via their page. Feel free to message me privately with any questions.

This has been such a valuable experience for me and my group of female entrepreneurs, and I am looking forward to sharing more about my personal goals next year – so watch this space!
