You know it’s almost Christmas when the music on the radio changes to the pogues and slade and the car is frosted over in the mornings. This year I have already written my Christmas shopping list, bought my Secret Santa and posted my Christmas cards. All that’s left to do it put up the tree, [...]

When I suggested a competition to win a day crafting with me back in October last year I never thought how quickly it would come around - I didn’t get time to get excited until the week before. On the competition day 5 crafters came along for the day. We made Stationery boxes and gossiped [...]

I purposefully didn’t take any craft away with me because I would have sat crafting [...]

The atmosphere in the hall and on the workshops was buzzing! The [...]

What a week this has been! Here in deepest Derbyshire the snow has been quite thick; I braved the snow in my husband’s 4×4 to get over to Peterborough, as nothing stops for live TV! Not even 4-foot of snow. We then had the daunting task of getting over to Manchester later in the week [...]

My own studio is in the middle of being decorated; all my crafting goodies are in [...]

With the show season upon us, last week I dusted off my overnight bag and got the train down to Esher, Surrey where I met up with the rest of my team to undertake workshops over 4 days at the Stitch and Creative Crafts Show, where we also had a stand.
The workshops were well attended as [...]

Merry Christmas from Stephanie and the team!
As I write this, my last blog of 2008, I am reflecting over the past 12 months and how they have passed by so quickly in a haze of crafting! Over the last year I have been all over the country from Devon up to the north of Scotland in [...]
