About Me

My photo
I currently live in Birmingham and come from Solihull. I have a love of all things crafty, developed from my mom's love of crafts as I was growing up. I currently work in marketing, but I'm a qualified Aromatherapist, and use to be self employed alongside a day job, might one day return to that. I try to fit in crafts when I can, I wish I had more time and money to spend on it! I enjoy researching my family history and finding out about the past. It can get frustrating, but is really rewarding when you have a break through! I hope to meet people with similar interests as me and swap advice/stories.

Seaside make

To reminisce the lovely holiday I had down in Devon, I made a wall hanging all seaside themed... just to decide whether to add some real shells...





And the real seaside...

Story in a Box - Craft Swap

 This is 2014's 'Story in a Box' set up and organised by Kitty Luna (thank you), everyone had to get a box, get a theme and pass on the box for everyone to fill with their own crafty ideas based on the theme.
 
Box One - What's your favourite childhood character- make them & decorate a card

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Box Two - 'The day of the Dead' - add any item/saying to remember those who have passed

My contribution - an angel card, rose buds & a light-hearted Terry Pratchett quote
 Box three - all abut your craft love




 
Box four - loved this - all about Shakespeare
 

 



Box five - another fab one, but I forgot the photos!! Check them out- the Angel Box here
