Do you ever look at a craft project and put it off for no reason? I’ve been stuck in a bit of a rut lately and am finding it so difficult to pick up any craft projects. Last night I finally took the latest Mollie Makes cover gift, a crochet charms bracelet kit, out of…
August has definitely run away without me ever getting to grips with it. I was surprised to see a new copy of Mollie Makes land on my doorstep before I’d even read the last one! Last night I finished the cute little craft kit which was to make Sparkly Fruit Brooches. Jenny Makes Mollie Makes…
