About Me

dudley, west midlands, United Kingdom
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.

new copic ciao pens (while my speccies are sorted)

ive had problems with my beloved spectrum noir pens lately, in that many have run out and i am unable to get refils or the rest of the set until the end of this month. Therefore i have invested in some copic ciao pens. They are very different to colour with, having a larger, more brush like nib, but i think im getting the hang of them.
