I suppose I had better introduce myself and why I am here (just in case anyone other than my Mum or Sister read this!!)
I am a married Mum of three currently on maternity leave(although the countdown to return is already beginning). After hitting 30 on Thursday I decided this was my prompt to try new things and do instead of say and so here I am. I have long loved crafty things right from when I was a little girl - I had my first sewing machine at 15 and have tried a bit of everything from dress making to card making and everything in between.
Right now my loves are fabric, ribbon, beads, buttons and felt with a bit of patterned paper thrown in. I am trying to perfect my bow making, felt cutting, rose and ruffle shaping skills and have stumbled on some fantastic on-line tutorials etc that have helped me do this. I guess it was while researching these that brought me onto these very pages and I felt that perhaps I should give something back in a way.
I love fashion - clothes, accessories etc etc. However, being on maternity leave and the whole climate of now having to 'tighten our belts' has made me think more closely about what I am buying. I think the 'throw away society' is on its way out and I have found myself using and improving what I already have.
Keep on trend at a fraction of the price - its time to make and mend!
