Pride 2021 and the Craftic Challenge

Posted on 25/06/202130/06/2021 by Kay

June is of course Pride month, and for Pride 2021, I wanted to do a couple of things! First of all I wanted to do a craft project, I also wanted to buy from an LGBTQ+ small, indie business; and in doing so, support someone’s dreams, and get something pretty for me; but something that was also representative of Pride. I also wanted to take part in the Craftic Pride Rainbow Challenge!

Wow, that’s a busy little list, when you add it to the projects I’m working on already, and the 30 Days Wild, and of course not forgetting the day job…

Shop Indie This Christmas

Posted on 18/11/202017/11/2020 by Kay

I wanted to do something a little different this month, and share some fab indie biz. It’s fairly officially Christmas shopping season, and it’s a great opportunity to support small business; shop indie; and spread a little love to those that may be struggling; as there are no craft fairs or the like this year!

So here are a range of some of the handmade products from some of my friends online! If you have a small business, get in touch and I’ll happily add you to the list! Please don’t link spam; if you have a gift guide similar to this one, do tell everyone about it in the comments below!

Blogmas 2018 – Made in Cornwall – Truro Christmas Market

Posted on 14/12/201830/11/2020 by Kay

I look forward to visiting the local Christmas market here in Truro every year; it’s always great fun and a great chance to see some wonderful handmade products made in Cornwall. I always try to do a bit of my Christmas shopping here; and there are usually some cheeky samples to enjoy too!

While I was having a wander, I thought I’d take some photos of some of the brilliant handmade products around the market! There were SO many stalls I didn’t get a chance to take photos of; as it was extremely busy, but here are a few things I loved!

12 Days of Christmas 2017 – Gift Wrapped Hamper

Posted on 08/12/201723/09/2020 by Kay

In this post I’ll share some ideas for creating a wrapped hamper with treats or small gifts. I have a great love of wrapping my presents with a particular colour scheme every year, and it’s not uncommon for me to send “mini hampers” filled with goodies to family for Christmas.

I thought I’d share some photos of a wrapped hamper I have sent, to show that there are different ways to wrap and send gifts, at Christmas, or any other time of year!
