Too Many Hobbies - Not Enough Time!

I have too many hobbies! I love paper crafting (card making and scrapbooking mainly), sewing and knitting occasionally, photography and bits and bobs of other crafts as I discover them.

Something I never really thought of as a hobby has recently pushed its way into my crafting life again. I’ve always enjoyed revamping old furniture – partly through necessity when I was young and money was tight and later on when I wanted to bring a nice piece of old furniture back to life.

I hadn’t upcycled a piece of furniture for several years when I recently decided to give chalk paint a go….and  I was hooked! Since getting back into this satisfying “craft” I’ve decided that this is where my heart lies in terms of being creative and working with colour and, hopefully, the start of a small business which will take me into retirement. I’m enjoying learning new techniques, such as blending and distressing and hope to share my learning journey with you as I go.

I’ll be sharing my projects here on the blog – successes and failures! I’d love to hear your feedback, see your photos of  your favourite crafting  projects and share some hints and tips. 

Thanks for visiting and please come back soon!
