Sewist, crocheter, embroiderer, sticker collector, leopard print lover and all round creative!

Hi, I’m Nadine 👋 and if it involves fabric, yarn, or thread, chances are I’ve probably given it a go (or have it waiting in my ever-growing project basket). I’m based in the UK and spend most of my free time stitching, quilting, crocheting, and sewing all sorts of things. My style? Modern, relaxed, scrappy, and very much “go with the flow.”

I’ve been creative for as long as I can remember (I studied art at uni), but sewing didn’t enter my life until 2017 when I made a quilted pillowcase for a friend. That one little project somehow unlocked a whole new world, and I haven’t looked back since. Fast-forward a bit: I picked up crochet from a uni friend (blankets are my weakness), and in 2024 I fell straight down the cross-stitch rabbit hole.

I started this blog because I wanted a little corner of the internet to share what I’ve been making — like a diary of my projects — and hopefully connect with other makers who, like me, don’t just stick to one craft or one set of “rules.”

Crafting has become such a grounding thing for me. It’s helped me through some tough patches with my mental health, given me something to focus on when I feel a bit lost, and honestly, the buzz of finishing a project never gets old.

When I’m not making things, you’ll probably find me journaling, playing Disney Dreamlight Valley, swapping postcards on Postcrossing, or tucking into Greek food with a glass of Moscato (a little Friday night treat).

So, welcome — I’m really glad you’re here.

Have a wander around the blog, sign up for the newsletter if you’d like to keep up with what I’m making, and don’t be shy about saying hi or sending me ideas for my next project. I love hearing from fellow makers.
