About Me

For a very long time, I didn't see the point in engaging with crafts and hobbies. I was invited to quite a few craft groups but I just didn't have any confidence that i would produce anything worthwhile. However, all of that changed when my friend tricked me into attending a local craft group at our church.

I hope you enjoy this blog which showcases some of what I have learnt from the experts.
