I love my creative side. I can knit, crochet and sew. Ok, it's not always top quality, but it's handmade and crafted with love.
For years I have cross-stitched pieces for myself and my friends. I've slowed down of late, as I just never seem to find the time to sit down and work on my projects.
I love to scrapbook. It's my favorite waste of time, however I still don't spend enough time doing it. I do indulge in a weekend away every year to try to catch up on scrapping my photo memories. If only I could stop taking more photos each year I might actually achieve that goal!
I love the handmade beauties that my kids make me for my birthday and Mother's Day. It's a shame that as they grow older, their teacher's don't encourage them to make handmade gifts anymore. I love someone that is made with love and a little clunky looking - I love the quirky colours, the wonky paddle pop sticks, the glue drops.
My favorite wedding gift was a hand stitched tablecloth made by my Aunty Bobby. I love that she would have spent hours working on it, planning it, stitching it - and all the while with love.
So if you receive something from me that's handmade, I hope you'll appreciate the time and effort that I've put into your gift. If you get handmade from Sue, you can guarantee it's handmade with love.
