How does craft make you feel?
What is it about craft? Whatever it is you are making… I feel craft can provide a sense of satisfaction, joy – an ability to learn, develop and breathe. It can take time, practice sometimes – but, I feel that at every stage, it can offer calm and restore the soul. Is it the ‘touch’
Canon Creative Park
I am super proud to share that I have been recently working with Canon and even more proud that Freddie has joined in too! ❤ There is an amazing website called Canon Creative Park – and it is packed full of paper crafting projects all ready to print and create using your Canon printer and

These organic cotton prints, are on wholesale ‘Pre-Order’ now from the ‘Visage Textiles’ website, for expected availability end October 2022.
Wild Dreams and Field of Memories
I can hardly believe that I haven’t posted on The Crafty Lass blog in 3 months – where has that time gone?? Time flies when you are having fun… And can you believe that in that time – my second Craft Cotton Co fabric collection Wild Dreams is now out in shops! The designs are super
The LoveCrafts Show
Well, this is strange – I am sat here typing, whilst listening to a podcast. That doesn’t sound so strange. Well, it is when I AM ON IT?! Podcasts are a fairly recent thing to me – when I used to commute to London for work, podcasts would have been AMAZING! But, c’est la vie
Petal & Pip
Having studied Printed Textile Design at Loughborough University… print, design, fabrics – is what is at the core of my creative soul. To have something I have drawn, collaborated on, chosen colours on, discussed layout on – to be turned into a commercially available product… is just mind blowing. Obviously, all craft is my thing
Time to refresh, renew, strengthen and build.
Gosh it has been a super long time since I have written a post… I had almost forgotten how to do it! Over the last year I have basically just tried to keep my social media going for The Crafty Lass – my website and blog rightly or wrongly has largely been ignored. I was
The Crafty Lass does… Halloween!
I know, I think I’m crazy sometimes too. I could have just bought a costume… But I WANTED to make one. Little Freddie has suddenly become very interested in Mummy’s sewing machine – and thinks it is magic that I can take fabric and turn into something ‘for you’. How perfect then, to make him
Who’s The Crafty Lass? Oh yes, I remember now – that’s ME.
The Crafty Lass… who’s that? Who is she? Oh yes, I remember now – that’s ME. I had almost forgotten. I was asked in a consultant doctor’s appointment the other day what my job was – seeing as we had only just met and he needed to establish my general day to day ‘activity levels’
The Crafty Lass does… Maternity Leave!
How is it May? MIDDLE of May. Christmas, Januuuuuuuuuuuuuary. FebruaryMarchApril. MAY. And so that’s it, I am on Maternity Leave as of the end of today. The last 36 weeks in particular have been super speedy – part of me feels like I’ve been expecting a baby forever, part of me thinks – how is
Be kind to yourself. It’s January! Stop to eat the biscuits – even if they are broken.
I’m tired. But, it’s January – who isn’t tired in January? The days are dark, it’s (seriously) cold, I think we are all just trying to make it through, right? Trying to stick to New Year’s resolutions, trying to be ‘good’. In fact; who thought it would be a good idea to make resolutions to
Feel the Fear…
The Crafty Lass currently features in the BOOTS Health and Beauty magazine for January/February 2019 – in an article all about conquering our fears. What better way to start the New Year with a blog post featuring a little bit more about mine, and what resolutions and steps I took to change this… Phobias: they
