A project I started today, thinking it would only take me one nap to get done, already put about two hours into it and it’s nowhere near resembling what I eventually hope it to be. There is sewing, gluing and a LOT more colouring to be done before it even nears completion, but the bright colours make me happy just looking at them, and with the plans I have in mind it should be awesome. NB: Is anyone else obsessed [...]

Hi, I'm FernHi, I'm Fern and CraftBlog is my online home. I live in NSW with my husband and three sons, and spend every moment of my free time with my head buried in some form of creativity. In fact, I've never met a craft I didn't like, although I think I've tried a fair few that probably weren't too keen on me. Want to know more?

Thank you for being awesome.
