The British Homemaker - One day at a time

When my teen decided she liked leopard print I thought nothing of it, it's been around for years. Any animal print and I'm having flashbacks of Bet Lynch in Coronation Street but I couldn't see the teen going that far. Wrong!

I seem to have sidelined without realising it so I've decided to share some of the smaller commissions I've had lately. Available to order for collection are the following: * hand painted, wooden crates * crochet coasters and teapot holders * crochet placemats * cushion covers * personalised buntings * heart shaped wreaths with or without battery powered lights * personalised curtains and/or pillow cases * children's aprons * double ring scarves (wrap round scarf that's all one piece) I do not list any items in the Internet as all my work so far has come from word of mouth but I've decided to expand my area so I will be adding some of the things I have done here soon.
