It’s not that bad really, I cook proper food nearly every night but sometimes you can’t beat a quick meal – more time for blogging
Sooooooo where to start? To be honest I have no idea. This all started many years ago when I asked for a sewing machine for my 16th birthday. However there was no space to keep the sewing machine set-up so it was hauled up and down to the attic each time I wanted to use it, which was a LOT of hassle….and so it went away for good and never came down. How sad – I know! That was until college was all done and dusted and the recession hit Ireland and I packed up my belongings and headed to Australia for work.
Once in Australia I got a job and a home and I suddenly had a spare room to fill………… so I got a sewing machine and fabric, LOTS OF FABRIC.
On a trip home to Ireland in November I dragged my mother into this. We rocked up at the Stitching and Knitting Expo in Dublin’s RDS. Mum has knitted since she was pregnant with me HOWEVER….. after knitting me a new Christmas stocking for Australia she had to succumb to tennis elbow and admit defeat with knitting for now. So she signed up for a quilting class and is now WHOOPING MY BUTT at this!
So now I spend my spare time outside of work crafting....nappy cakes, one off t-shirts, screen printing, embroidering, baking general nice stuff.
This blog is a place for me to record my crafty projects as I start out my adventure as Ballyhoo Designs.
I have imported my old blog-TwoHoots.wordpress.com onto my Ballyhoo Design blog so any older posts are from my Two Hoot days!
happy reading and crafting my lovelies!!
