Crochet is what helped me get through those tough months, since then my love and enjoyment of it has grown. Most evenings I have a hook in my hand and some project on the go. I even sometimes manage to hook during the day if the kids are otherwise occupied!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t just stick to crochet, although it is the easiest as I don\u2019t need to set anything up! My sewing machine is a close second and I enjoy sewing in any form from patchwork to dressmaking. I can\u2019t remember the last time I bought my mum a present&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full time work and my children keep me very busy, crafting relaxes me. This website is my crafting journey, I hope you find some joy here too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thought I had best introduce myself.
