hi i'm Michelle, I am 39 years old. I'm married to matt, with 2 children. William 13 yrs old and Isobel aged 7. I started making cards in 2010 as a way to relax after suffering with postnatal depression. Unfortunately with working life and having our second child, Isobel. who has additional needs, my crafting got pushed to one side. Having recently renovated our new house I've been able to have my own crafty space again. I'm loving unboxing all my old supplies, and buying new of course. Its mainly card making I'm enjoying, but also had a little dabble in crochet and sewing over lockdown. I've decided to keep using my blog as a place to record all my makes, if only for myself. it was a real trip down memory lane when I found this again after 8 years!!! Of course id love to share my makes with others and learn from you all along the way.

I’m back!!!

Hey. 

So I’ve managed to log back into this blog after recently starting to craft again 😊

It’s a bit of a long story but my crafting passion got pushed out when we had our daughter Isobel, now 7. Isobel has some additional needs and managing 2 children, working as a nurse and general life commitments took over. Then 2 years ago we moved house and all my crafting supplies were boxed up for the move. We have been renovating the house and I was adamant I was having my own craft room/area again. 

Finally we have completed our renovations and turned the old double garage into a large family room. I have half this space for my crafts 😉, the other half has a tv/Xbox area and Isobel’s play/craft area. Isobel loves to craft now too. She is just like her mommy. Nurture definitely beats nature 😊. 

So I’m mainly back making cards, as I find this so therapeutic. I’ve also dabbled in a bit of soft crafts, making some little gift bags, bunting etc. I hope to learn more on this side of things. 

So I’ll be uploading my makes here, as a place to keep my memories if nothing else. It was so magical when I found my blog and posts from 2011.
