One of my favourite quotes “is “The hurrier I go, the behinder I get!” , you’ll see from my notes below its actually not even a quote….. but the heart of that quote exactly describes my current world. All the hurrying and definitely not going forwards! I’m sure you can relate. Sometimes there just isn’t enough time in the day.

So in an effort to get caught up and to share lots of crafting with you, I though I would make a few catch up blog posts on my Craft and Chats. I’m live on Facebook and Youtube every Tuesday at 2pm and I haven’t shared several. Today I have 3 videos to share with all the crafty projects too. The news and updates at the beginning may be out of date so your best bet is to whizz the video 20 minutes or so to the crafting!

Please note : “The hurrier I go, the behinder I get!” is often attributed to Lewis Carroll’s White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, but it doesn’t appear in the book. Its one of those mysteries of where it originated from. But it really does sound like the White Rabbit could have said it!

I’ll be back soon with another Catch up blog post, and in between there will be my regular crafting too! If you have any questions about the tutorials let me know.

Moving forwards my plan is the share crafty projects on a Tuesday and Friday. To give myself the time, I think May will be catching up and then June we will be on a regular schedule. Lets see how we go!

As always I would love to see your crafty makes, please email me pictures, I love to see your creations. If you are happy to share them, please let me know in the email and I’ll add them in to my Craft and Chat too.
