Hello!
I'm Sandra, I live in a small village in Bedfordshire, UK with my hubby, daughter and Bertie, our cheeky miniature dachshund, and home is pretty much my favourite place to be.
I started writing about my crafty adventures way back in 2009 on my blog, Cherry Heart. I was a Mum to a young child, and wanted to join in with a community of makers that I found sharing ideas online. I never imagined for one moment that it turn from a hobby to pass the time into an occupation to fill my time and yet that’s exactly what happened and I was lucky enough to connect with some wonderful people along the way.
Life is always changing though, my daughter is older now and I realised how much I miss writing those blog posts which talked about crafting yes, but also mused on life and enabled connections with others in the same situation. I’m hoping that’s something I can rekindle here.

🧶 Crafting - No doubt I’ll continue to talk about the things I love best and which give me the most comfort and pleasure. My first loves are crochet, knitting & sewing but I dabble in other crafts too.
