My current craft projects

February 9, 2024 in Crafts

I have to admit I am one of those people that likes to switch between projects rather than focusing on getting one finished before moving onto the next so I always have something crafty on the go. Today I am going to tell you about 3 projects I am currently working on.

Traditional Indian designs and décor for contemporary hotels

February 6, 2024 in Crafts, Home & Garden

Owing and maintaining a restaurant is a tough task altogether. More so if it is contemporary one infused with all the modern-day elements. Your menu list needs to be different and innovative; you need a team of efficient and talented chefs to make great food. Cleanliness needs to be maintained. However, on the whole, an important feature of a hotel…

5 ways to enjoy a quiet night in

January 13, 2024 in Crafts, Other

Much to my husband’s dismay there is nothing I enjoy more than having a relaxed evening in, lounging around and chilling out. Vlad, who is more of a social butterfly, would prefer to go out, meet new people and have a good time. In this modern world it’s easy to feel like we should be busy all of the time…

December 31, 2023 in Crafts, Fashion

I love being crafty and my main craft at the moment is crochet. I get immense satisfaction watching a ball of yarn turn into a blanket, hat or scarf.

Review: Singer Simple Sewing Machine

November 17, 2023 in Crafts, Reviews

Despite having done a Textiles GCSE many moons ago up until recently I have had a fear of sewing machines. I don’t really think I was ever really shown how to use a one properly and not only couldn’t I make up a bobbin but always pictured my hand slipping under the foot and ending up sewing all up my…

August 27, 2023 in Crafts, Travel

For as long as I can remember my family have been enjoying holidays in the Norfolk Broads, a network of mostly navigable rivers and lakes formed by the flooding of peat workings.
