Spring Craftpod review

Spring stitching {Spring Craftpod review}

Posted on April 13, 2021 by jenny

One of my birthday presents was the Spring Craftpod subscription box. I was more than ready for some Spring projects. It doesn’t feel very long since I shared what was inside the previous box but sadly this is a quarterly subscription. Spring is my favourite season along with Autumn. I’ve been enjoying watching for the…

Monday Happy List {Week 339}

Posted on April 12, 2021 by jenny

Starting the week by writing the Monday Happy List  is something I’ve been doing for a while. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures. It’s a post I always love to write. Monday…

Why you should take part in online craft classes

Why you should take part in online craft classes

Posted on April 6, 2021 by jenny

The one thing I have missed (after seeing family and friends) is taking part in craft classes and workshops in person. I have missed the opportunities that craft classes and events give me to try new things. With no Handmade Fair, no Knitting & Stitching Show or in person workshops it feels a long time…
