Coffee and Chat 3

I think that some Sundays are made for lying around the house not doing much!  Especially when the sun is shining so bright! 

So I thought we would have another coffee and chat to meet a fabulous crafter who has been very inspiring to me: Sara Webster.  When I was first considering a business in the craft industry I googled blogs about craft and Sara’s website, ‘from the hands of kitty eden’, was one of the first ones that I fell in love with.  

I love her use of fabrics to make gorgeous accessories.  I have been fortunate enough to see her work up close in Lexi Loves in Cirencester and her badges are simply fabulous!  How on earth Sara fits in time to create such wonderful things when she has 5 children aged 8 to 23 I will never know!

I hope you enjoy meeting the fabulous Sara Webster and exploring her wonderful work:

All love making all the items on my website some more than others but I think the one I love the most is the flower brooch followed closely by the pink bunny badge! I also love making clothes which I think will feature a lot in my work in the future!

As I live on the edge of the Peak National Park in the Derbyshire countryside my inspiration comes from anything and everything, sometimes I have to escape to the city just to soak up the sights and the sounds but I am happiest sat in my garden doodling new ideas.
I am always taking inspiration from my children too they have such amazing ideas , my youngest girl loves to draw me little pictures which I love to use in my work .

Juggling children/ home life and work is always a struggle but I do try to go with the flow and try not to stress too much.  I couldn’t do any of this without my very long suffering  partner he understands that my work is really important to me.  Being able to be at home with my children is one of the perks of this job …. most of the time

I am looking forward to really moving the business up a step this next year maybe a trade show or some large fairs … somewhere like the Country living fair would be fab .

I think it took me a long time to learn I can only do the best I can, I have very high standards and sometimes can be slightly obsessive about things .

Be proud of what you do … love your work !

I hope you have enjoyed meeting Sara and seeing some of her fabulous work.
