What’syour favourite part of blogging?
JRI love how blogging connects you
withlike-mindedpeople. It’shelped
me find so many new friends and let me
experience things that I couldn’teven
have previously dreamt of. It also keeps
me on my toes creativelyandIalwaysfeel
motivated to start a new project.

Where’s your favourite place to craft?
JRMy bedroom. I don’t get any Internet
connection, there’s no phone signal or
receptionfor television. I sit crossed-
leggedon mybed,listening to music
andcrafting away. There are minimal
distractions–Ican’tevencheckTwitter!

What would be your advicefor anyone
considering selling their crafts?
JRI suggest approaching someone who

already has a successful business that you

admire. When Ifirst set up my Etsy shop,

Iemailed ClaireofClaireabellemakes.com

for guidance. LittledidIknow, she is an

Etsy Ambassador and was full to the brim

withexcellentadvice.

What’syour funniest crafting memory?

JRAfter discovering my blog, my friends

were amazedathow I madeknitting seem

cool. One night, we were getting ready

for a party when one ofthem askedme

to teachhimhow toknit. The evening

escalated into a hilarious night of crafting

anddancing to musicalsoundtracks. We

endedupknittinginsteadofgoing out!

Howdoyou organiseyourlife around

your crafting projects?

JRI prioritise. I take projects with me to

workandcraftduring mybreaks; Idon’t

watchTV andin all honesty, Idon’tsleep

alot. I stay uplate crafting into the small

hours of the morninguntil I fall asleep

withmyheadin myknittingbecause
