Hello!
I'm Laura and I live in Glasgow, Scotland.
I like sewing and drawing and cutting and sticking and printing and messing about on the computer and crochet and knitting (kind of). I try to blog about things I'm making, but mostly I end up blogging about anything I'm finding interesting: things other people are making, charity shopping, films, music, books, the city I live in, my cats... Since having a little girl, I've found she has kind of taken over my life and therefore my blog too. Your comments are always much appreciated and I reply to them in the comments section, so do check back. Thanks for stopping by!
