Hello welcome thought I'd reintroduce my blog as it's been abandoned since it began
As I'm currently on maternity my plan is to spend time raising Fergus and also to make more things for myself as well as others.
Unsure if I will relaunch my craft selling as feel the markets swamped at moment and I previous made jewellery but have lost interest in it and have thought about venturing into Homewares items but again unsure if I've the time to tackle it.
Seen a few blogs recently downing crafters who craft and sell as a hobby, this is always what I've done as for a while it was a self funding hobby. Just because you don't do it full time or risk your house on your craft doesn't make you any less creative or passionate.
My want to try new crafting areas also doesn't make me a luke warm crafter just one that looks for new challenges and skills. If we all stood still and stuck to the same craft nothing new would happen.
So here's my wish list/crafting dream list that I hope to tackle during the rest of 2014:
Sewing - a new skill my sewing machine have a love hate relationship
*make a box pleat skirt
*make dresses I will wear
*make a clasp closing bag
*make a coat for me - one day a lion coat for Fergus
Crochet - a skill I'm good and can even teach people
*finish my wave crochet blanket
*crochet and item of clothing for Fergus
*crochet items as presents
Knitting - I can knit but get bored easily of it
*finish cardigan I started the days before Fergus was born
*knit owl jumper
*learn to knit on double pins
Paper craft -
*destash and use paper I have before buying more
*make a collection of cards for all occasions - so stop buying shop bought
* make and POST our christmas cards this year
These are all what's I wish to do and hopefully I'll succeed in them, but I will record the bumpy journey here and all support and advice is welcome, never know maybe Carrotcoriander will one day return as a craft seller :)
