I'm a mother, wife, trainer, daughter and friend who finds her sanity saved every day by making things.
This blog is all about finding bliss through creating - knitting, sewing, crochet, embroidery, cooking - and anything else that takes my fancy. To me, crafting isn't just a hobby, it's a necessity. It keeps me sane, helps me cope with life's frenetic pace and slow down. I love that at the end of a day I've made something - I've something tangible and real I can hold in my hand and touch.
I craft alone, with my eight year old, with friends and with abandon!
