Hello! Yes this is me....

For those of you who have no idea what I look like......this is me *waves* Hellooooo. This photo was taken by me with my camera, tripod and timer. I think this was 1 photo of about 50, if anyone had actually witnessed me trying to take a half decent photo of my self they would have been in hysterics on the floor. I did chuckle to myself a few times.

This is the reason for the photo, I appeared in a double page spread in this months Sew Hip Magazine. I wasn't sure how big the article was going to be so I nearly fell off my chair when I saw this.

Last year was amazing for me and Bagladee and this year I hope will be just as good, there maybe a few twists and turns coming up on the horizon but I'm ready to face them head on. Life is about the journey and would be pretty boring if we all just mosied along.

I'll be back soon to show you all the gorgeous bags I've been making for BCTF. Not long now, less than 4 weeks. Best get back to it.

Did you see me??

If you bought January's issue (issue 6) of Craftseller then maybe you spotted me on page 77? "Guest Expert" never thought I'd read that of myself :) but sure enough there is a picture of me, the cover of my first craft book, one of my clutch bags and a purse and more importantly my #SBS Winners badge.

I was asked by the lovely Beth if I would like to write a piece on my Theo Paphitis win and of course I said yes. I really enjoyed writing this little piece for Craftseller as I hoped it would inspire many more crafters to put them selves out there. Its a great time to be starting a designer/maker career and this magazine is the perfect read for anyone wanting to branch out their crafting talent into the world of selling.

Also watch out for me in issue 39 of Sew Hip magazine which goes on sale February 29th.
