About Me
My passion for crafting started in earnest almost 12 years ago when my daughter Chloe was born.
I’d been taught to crochet as a child, but other than the odd doll’s blanket, I’d never really made anything of worth. When Chloe came along I really wanted to dress her in the beautiful crochet bonnets and matinee coats that I saw in Swansea Market. They were just so expensive, I knew the only way she would have them is if I made them myself. I armed myself with an old crochet pattern, a hook and a ball of white wool. Pleased with the finished result, I was “hooked” (excuse the pun). Eventually, I made far more than she could ever wear, so for a little while I supplied a local babywear shop.
Over the years I’ve tried all sorts of different crafts – glass painting, jewellery making, card making and now of course, dressmaking. I’ve enrolled on an evening class and I’m loving it! It’s a great way to learn new skills and make new friends too. It’s also a little bit of “me” time once a week.
Heather lives in South Wales with her husband Kevin, two children Jamie & Chloe and their cat Poppy. She works full time as a School Secretary.
About my Blog
Just a little blog to share the ups and downs of my hobby. I just love making stuff and my goal is to make myself an outfit and for someone to say to me “you look great – where did you buy that?”. I think I’m a way off that yet but it would be lovely if you could share my journey with me.
I hope that this will become a place where friends can meet to swap ideas or just have a natter over coffee.
