Hi and welcome to my blog! I love to create! I have done ever since I can remember, drawing and painting on everything I could find, moving onto sewing as soon as I was able. My Mum taught me to sew and knit and my Grandma taught me how to crochet. I studied Fashion Design at College and then had my own business making bespoke Bridalwear and Accessories. I am now Mum to a beautiful daughter and still love making things! I enjoy sewing, knitting, crochet, fabric printing, cooking, interior design and gardening.
Thank you for stopping by and if you are interested in buying any of my handmade items that you see on my blog, please feel free to get in touch!
