Craft & Thrift Podcast

<p>I have had the loveliest, most calming and soul-soothing time in my garden this afternoon. The sun shone, the birds sang, and I quietly pottered between the greenhouse and the raised bed. As I write this, I’ve sown...

<p>Nothing grand of note to report in the podcast this week, other than some little updates on ongoing projects. I almost didn’t post a podcast episode, but there’s joy to be found in the little things, especially in...

<p>If you follow me over on Notes, you may have seen a spoiler of my raised bed. It’s a bit of a beast, standing at 72cm high (roughly hip height on me), I’ve built it from decking planks and 2x2” timber. The aim is to...

<p>Wearing the repaired sheepskin coat and Morgan jeans!</p><p>I recorded a podcast last week about a sewing day I had planned with my bestie, who came to visit our new house for the first time last week. It was a...

<p>This is a bit of an unstructured ramble (‘twas ever thus) about my upcoming sewing day with my bestie, and my project plans. </p><p>I was trying to find a photo of my Closet Core Morgans and came across this picture...

<p>I stumbled across this idea, after reading and listening to Internet People. I recently picked up the Artist’s Way, a book by Julia Cameron about unlocking creative potential, and almost immediately became...

<p>Hello everybuddy! Thanks so much for listening and supporting my little podcast. And thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to my Buy me a Coffee. I got this lovely message recently, “listening to your...

<p>I recently went down a YouTube rabbit hole, emerging triumphant from the other end with the confidence to attempt to build a potting bench for my greenhouse. My ‘toxic trait’ as the kids say, is seeing someone do...

<p>I think this is the last of my goal related blog posts and podcasts for now! I know not everyone enjoys discussing goals and aims, it can feel like a stressful time of year with a constant narrative of...

<p>I love this time of year for goal setting, I’ve already written one blog post about my sewing goals for 2025, and here is the audio form for my knitting plans! This year, I want to try to be more intentional with my...

<p>Back in 2020, at the height of lockdown, I completed the Love to Sew Podcast ‘Create your Dream Wardrobe’ booklet. It was an illuminating process, that happened to fall at the same time as Me Made May. Andrew helped...

<p>This episode is a slight departure from my normal content, but still in the realms of handicrafts, in the sense of building things with your hands. I was lucky to grow up with a DIY Dad, an experience I didn’t value...

<p>Thanks so much to everyone who listened and commented on my last podcast episode, I really appreciate all your support!</p><p>This episode is slightly longer, talking about my current main two knitting works in...

<p>I’ve been contemplating starting a podcast for a while, I’ve just been nervous to say that out loud. It feels very self important; the imposter syndrome part of my brain wonders what original thoughts or content I...
