| In the craft room, in ‘podcast’ mode! |
Hello!
I'm Sandra, I live in a small village in Bedfordshire, UK with my hubby, daughter and Bertie, our cheeky miniature dachshund, and home is pretty much my favourite place to be.
After a childhood filled with many happy hours of drawing, sticking, making and the odd piece of knitting or sewing, I suppose it should really come as no surprise that once the (slighter) faster paced years were through, I found my creative side ready and waiting for me again.
My first loves are crochet, knitting and thinking up new pattern ideas. I've fallen in love with sewing, I enjoy quilting and I've also been known to try a little embroidery, cross stitch or weaving. All with an audio book or podcast to keep me company.
I started writing about my crafty adventures way back in 2009 on my blog, Cherry Heart. I wanted to join in with a community of makers that I found sharing ideas online. I never imagined for one moment that it turn from a hobby to pass the time into an occupation to fill my time. (Blogging to make money and 'get noticed' wasn't a thing way back then!) But I've been amazingly lucky because I've ended up meeting some amazing people, making some fabulous friends and it's led me to all kinds of other wonderful opportunities.
I hope you’ll join me.
