So the time has finally come to talk about my little baby leather project and the fact that I want to grow it into something more meaningful! It’s taken me soooooo long to come up with a name and a logo that I like… Continue reading “MISCHIEF & HIDE IS ALIVE!!!”
So Summer is well and truly over, Autumn has gone from warm and colourful to wet and windy and we are probably already feeling the first pangs of Christmas-related stress. Eek! With this in mind, Continue reading “5 WAYS TO BOOST YOUR MOOD NOW…”
It’s no secret that when you’re starting out in leatherwork, it can be hard to find the answers to your burning crafting questions. Every maker has felt it I’m sure. Many (but not all) books are out-dated, numerous people at the top of their game have no desire to share their knowledge and Continue reading “5 GREAT BLOGS FOR LEARNING LEATHERWORK…”

I had been doing so well at balancing regular blog posts with looking after my son and studying for my social media course but then somehow I fell off the wagon (not for the first time). I’m not sure what happened.

I can’t remember how I came across One Girl Band – probably indirectly through iTunes – having developed quite a podcast addiction recently – but earlier on I wolfed down the first 5 episodes back-to-back so decided to dedicate some space to it here on my blog… Continue reading “ONE GIRL BAND – MY NEW ‘GIRL CRUSH’…”
