Hello!
I'm Sandra, I live in a small village in Bedfordshire, UK with my husband Gary, daughter Millie, 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’ve been lucky enough to connect with some wonderful people along the way.
Life is always changing though, my daughter is older 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.

What you’ll find here
I’m planning on posting here about 3 or 4 times a month and I’ll be chatting about the things that make up my life…
🧶 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.
🏡 Home making - Pottering around the house is a fairly major past time for me. We also recently moved , so I’m often thinking about and working on re-decoration projects, organising spaces & adding hand-made to my home.
🧑🧑🧒 Life & Family - General musings on mid-life living and trying to get by, both in the real world and online.
Other Things I do
📝 Patterns - I create and sell written pattern pdfs! Mainly for crochet, but also for knitting and sewing projects too. My patterns are comprehensive and full of detailed instructions, with extra help to guide you through.
🎓 Tutorials - Crochet Corner is my crochet tutorial site, full of photo tutorials for stitches, joining methods, techniques and more. I also release video tutorials.
🎬 Podcast - Released on my YouTube Channel, you can come and join me in my craft room where I share my current works in progress (WIPs), crafty conundrums and show my finished objects (FO’s).
🌱 Quiet Moments - My calm and peaceful vlogs (also on YT), where I invite you to join me spending time at home and getting cozy with my current crafty project and aim to give you a serene moment in your day.
