It’s the first day of ‘March Meet The Maker’ on Instagram, but I thought it would be nice to share on Tumblr too ...
The prompt today is ‘Story’.
So here goes ... Hi ... 👋 My name is Erin, full time mum, drinker of tea, gardener, baker, homesteader and lover of everything handmade.
I live in the Highlands of Scotland with my husband and 4 children, where we all enjoy the country life.
Most days you'll find us outside in the garden planting or harvesting and caring for our animals.
We try our best to be as self sufficient as possibly and we love to grow healthy organic food.
As a stay at home mum, I really struggled to find time for myself (I’m sure it’s a familiar story) and turned to crafting in the evenings as a way to relax and unwind.
I enjoyed it so much, I soon found myself buried in wool, sparkly beads and more buttons than I knew what to do with.
So after some gentle prompting and encouragement from my family, I set about opening our homestead craft shop. Here I like to make lots of different things and love to try new crafting skills.
It’s been a happy journey so far and through our craft shop and the craft fairs we attend, I’ve met some really lovely people and made treasured new friendships.
This is the first time I’ve joined in with ‘Meet The Maker’ and I’m excited to be part of this event. Looking forward to following and meeting you all ... Erin X 👋😃
