Hello friends
This is me - Christine who is probably the most happiest Christine on the planet right now!
I have some brilliant news to share with you...it is all about having a special crafty place!
And this is it!
I love my little VT (Victorian Terrace) but it does have the disadvantage of being very SMALL!
For a long time I've been crafting in my conservatory and dining room, storing boxes under my bed, under the boys' beds, under the stairs..well you get the gist! It's been a bit of a squeeze to say the least!
Out of the blue an opportunity arose for me to rent this space.
So this is my new crafty place...bare but bright! I have so MANY plans to share with you.
It is situated in Gravesend, Kent - the Heritage Quarter in the High Street.
I would love you to follow me as I decorate, organise and embellish my craft studio.

Once I have adorned it with much pinkness, flowers and butterflies, I have
great plans which involve classes, lots of tea and homemade cake!
My studio is accessible by car, bus, rail and it is opposite the Ferry Port too
(if you happen to live in Essex).

(if you happen to live in Essex).
There will also be opportunities for those that live a distance from Gravesend with on-line kits being available. Videos coming soon too, so everyone can join in.
Please stop by my blog to see my studio progress...I'm trying to convince the boys that yes, I do need more fabric bunting, pretty pictures and twenty thousand butterflies!
But here is my Mitchell (my eldest) making a start on cleaning the carpet...!
I'm off to do another little happy dance!
Take care friends.

How fab Christne having such a dedicated fab space especialy when you can make it as you want from scratch. Enjoy the journey/process
Great news Christine now you can really spread your wings, can't wait to see how you decorate your space. Yes you do need pink and butterflies. Wish I was like Lesley and lived close enough to visit when you get operational but look forward to seeing the kits you supply and everything else.
Good luck

Thats fantastic news I don`t think you are from me ,I`m having a happy dance at the moment Have just heard from spellinders so hopefully soon I will have My G.C Fixed I so do miss it ,The cuttlebug is not the same thanks for your help Melanie
Hi Christine,
congratulations on your new craft space and venture. I hope it is very successful. I will do a happy dance for you too. Well done to your Son I think it's your Son for helping with the work. I look forward to your pics of how it gets decorated with Pink Butterflies. LOL. Have a great crafty sunny day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
How wonderful Christine! I am so thrilled for you in your new space and venture. Wish I was closer to come and join you for visits and classes. looking forward to seeing your decorating. very best wishes, Georgina in KAlgoorlie.
Oh Christine, I am SO happy for you too. It sounds a fantastic opportunity and you deserve all the success. It is so nice to hear good news instead of all the bad.
Am loving all the ideas you have about your future plans. I would absolutely LOVE to come to one of your classes but live a fair distance away so would be difficult to organize - not impossible though. Can't wait to hear about for the kits you are planning.
Hope you are not too tired after all the "happy dances" you must be doing...hehehe. Think you will be on cloud 9 for a long time and who wouldn't be in your shoes?
Take care

Hi Christine. I was soo happy for you this morning that I had to leave my first ever comment! I wish you every success in your new crafty space, and look forward to seeing how you decorate it :) Crafty hugs, Nandita xx
Morning Christine,
What an exciting venture you are facing it must be a trifle daunting though. I live in Sheppey so I will be visiting if the access is Ok as I'm not very mobile.
I look forward so seeing the transformation and wish you every success.
I bet you can't stop smiling.
Have a good day.

Wow Christine! I look forward to joining you on your crafting journey & seeing your room take shape. It sounds so exciting. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations Christine on getting a new studio. If you manage to produce so much wonderful work from your conservatory, we are going to be treated to some dazzling work when you are settled into your new craftroom. Make sure you leave enough room for Bella! Anne
