I love to be crafty. My usual crafts of choice are knitting and crochet, if you look around my house you will see lots of homemade scarves and blankets! I have to admit that I am not an expert and can only do the basics but I enjoy turning a ball of yarn into something which will keep someone cosy…
I’ve been trying to get more involved in local events recently so when I saw someone on Facebook post about the Shoreham Food Festival last weekend I decided to drop in and see what it is all about, having never visited before! The Shoreham Food Festival launched in 2016 and has been designed to showcase the best of what Kent has to…
With lockdown having made shopping tricky, I have turned to making my own gifts and with Father’s Day coming up soon it’s a great opportunity to get my craft on and made something great for my dad to celebrate. It can be hard to find store-bought gifts that have the right balance of practicality and love, so getting out the…

For nearly 3 years now I have been working from home as a digital marketing consultant and I still haven’t achieved my perfect home office set up which is pretty pathetic! I see other people sharing photographs of their beautiful and functional workspaces and it makes me very jealous. My main problem has been that my workspace hasn’t been in…
I have to admit that I am a lazy crafter. I like things to be quick and easy with minimal fuss which is why I am currently loving the Cricut EasyPress 2 because it allows me to design and personalise craft projects such as tote bags, tea towels and t-shirts without having to set up my iron!
