March Meet the Maker - 24th March 2022

Workspace

Being a home worker, the workspace never really stays in one place. I have a designated ‘studio’ where all my materials are kept and my products stored, but when it comes to actually making my products, the workspace varies. 


I have a sofa office for most of my crochet and knitted products and that usually happens in the evenings. My macrame work is mostly standing up at my clothes frame if I’m making a wallhanging.


I love doing macrame in my garden during the warmer months. Creativity blooms when you’re surrounded by mother nature, my little garden is the perfect setting for coming up with lots of new ideas. 


In the winter, I move the frame around the house depending on the time of day and the temperature. I’ve been know to set up the frame in front of my fire and watch a bit of Netflix while making a set of hanging pot holders. 


I can’t wait for the next stage of my business to start, to set up a new studio and workshop. That milestone is one that I’m very excited about and I can't wait to share it with you!

Open for Business

By Cathie George • February 13, 2024
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.

🎄Festive Greetings 🎄

By Cathie George • December 23, 2022
If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better". A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.

Au Revoir, but not Goodbye

By Cathie George • July 25, 2022
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.

I Am Enough

By Cathie George • June 10, 2022
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
