About Fern
I am the face behind CraftBlog. Born and raised in England within a family of crafty types covering everything from delicate beadwork to carpentry, I moved to Australia a week after my eighteenth birthday and never looked back.
I now live on the mid-north coast of NSW, with my husband, Dan, our sons, four year old Declan and three year old Connor plus our latest addition, a new babe due in December of 2011 and dubbed “Hercules” by its biggest brother. I sew and blog from my over stuffed garage filled to the brim with fabric, yarn and craft tools and although I dabble in most crafts, my main focus is on sewing (in particular quilting), crochet, embroidery and making over op shop finds. I aim to fill my life and home with beautiful things that make me smile, and if I’ve made them myself, it’s even better.
In February 2010 Dan and I became parents to a little girl, Robyn, who was stillborn at 36 weeks gestation. Although I don’t specifically write about stillbirth or Robyn on CB, she sometimes will come up in the natural course of a post. If you’d like to find out more about Robyn, please read her birth story.
My personal blog can be found at Not Another Mummy Blog. My personal twitter is @FernTreacy – but beware, it isn’t always G-rated.
