We all lead busy lives.
It can be hard to find the time to get started and work on our crafting projects. If we don’t make the time then it can never happen!
So how do we make the time?
We need to carve out time for ourselves to stop, think about what we’d like to achieve and pick a time to get started.
I’ve created free weekly and monthly planner templates for you to use when you sign up to my newsletter. Click the button below to get yours.

“I don’t know where to start!”
You love the idea of being able to make something with your hands. Perhaps you dream of being able to knit yourself a hat, sew a quilted bag to store your favourite things in, or embroider a gift for a special person in your life.
You see the pictures and videos online of things other people have made and look longingly at them. You tell yourself
“I’d love to do but I don’t know where to start!”
It’s going to cost you some of your time and/or money. How much of each depends on you and your personal circumstances.
I’ve collated what I feel are the key ways you can start a new craft hobby in my blog which you can read here.

Isn’t it strange the things we tell ourselves?!
That we can’t do it. We’ll be rubbish at it. There’s no way we could ever achieve something like that.
And yet, when we were small children, we would have persevered to learn all those things children need to learn at a young age. We would try and fail and try again. We would keep going until we got there. Somewhere along the way we lost our ability to try.
I’m here to tell you that you can do it.
If you’d love to start a crafting hobby, or a particular project you can.
I’d never made anything like this wreath before I went to this workshop. I was really nervous and not sure I’d finish it in time. Thankfully I did and as you can see I was so proud of what I’d made.
I love helping others achieve their creative dreams.
I enjoy sharing inspiration tips and reflection pointers in my newsletter to help people move forward with their crafting goals. If you’d love to have my help in your pocket, cheering you on, sign up using the button below.
