About Me

Hello. I'm always looking for new ways to help the less fortunate and since retirement, I've been able to indulge my passion for crafts and hobbies. I make quilts, scarves, socks and anything else you can think of to sell for charity or give away to those in need. My husband is excellent at woodwork and I've got him in on the act now! Furniture and children's toys are two of his specialties. Of course, trends change and I need to alter my craft activities to suit modern tastes. No one wants to buy crocheted toilet dolls any more, but I've learnt to make socks out of old-fashioned quilting squares because those are best sellers! I have started this blog to spread all the latest news for those who share my passion for crafts and hobbies. I hope it gives you some ideas and keeps hearts, hands and minds busy!
