The Kitty Boo CraftAway was a free-flow, work-at-your-own-speed kind of Crop (the best kind) and delegates had plenty of options to choose from.

Here's a look at two more creations. I dithered about making the layout below, because I wasn't sure about the colours. But now that's it's finished, I really like … Continue reading Kitty Boo CraftAway Spring 2023 | What I Made | Part 2
The Kitty Boo CraftAway was a free-flow, work-at-your-own-speed kind of Crop (the best kind) and delegates had plenty of options to choose from. Here's a look at some of what I made.
