Hi Friends. I'm Louise. Crafter, Cat Mum and Part Time Vanlifer.
I love fabric and yarn, shopping for fabric and yarn, making with fabric and yarn and adventures in my camper van... with fabric and yarn.
I crochet, patchwork and sew and hope to inspire you to create, travel and be a little bit odd.

Fabric Shopping in Copenhagan as a Solo Female Traveller
I'm back on the road and this time, I'm in Copenhagen, Denmark. I love to travel and always make sure I have time to do some fabric and yarn shopping while I'm there. And OF COURSE, I'm going to take you with me!
Sewing, quilting and crochet are my top hobbies (and my job) so getting supplies while I'm travelling is the perfect combo.
Overall, I love Scandinavia and the craft shopping is great! Everything is more expensive but for pieces you don't think you'll find again, it's worth the extra.

First time Indian Block Printing with Mellymade Designs

I had so much fun trying Indian Block Printing for the first time. I visited my brilliant friend Mel at Mellymade Designs and she taught me the basics. She encouraged so much creativity and I was overwhelmed by the amount of inspiration I left with. It's so amazing to see what you can do with paint, a sponge and some wood. I block printed onto my denim jacket and I am incredibly happy with how ...

In this video, I will be removing the kitchen of my 2005 Ford Transit self build camper van conversion. After owning it for over a year, it was time to reconfigure the inside so it works better. Last time, we removed the bed and this time, its the kitchen's turn. We are also attempting (key word) to insulate the bulk head with carpet. With us luck!

Where are the fabric shops?! 72 hours in Brussels for my Bucket List Trip and Chocolate Making Vlog

This week, I'm in Brussels with the intention of fabric shopping. However, there were very few options to look at! I found a yarn shop, an Aladdin's cave of a haberdashery and a super cool bead shop. Somehow, I still managed to spend money on things I didn't need in craft shops. I had a great time sightseeing, eating waffles and doing a chocolate making workshop at the Chocolate Museum.

Welcome back my lovely. Was great to speak to you at the Festival of Quilts. Xxx
Welcome back! ❤
Nice video. If you visit Stockholm again there are a lot of nice stores at Södermalm with yarn. Garn & Sybehör, litet nystan and Fingerborg are three good ones. If you want another travel tip and havent been there yet I recommend visiting Varberg. There is a famous bog body there you can watch at the museum and a very unique hotel called Hotel Gästis. And it is just by the sea with the Kattegat water.
Where's the craft studio?
Can't believe anybody can shop in a fabric store in one hour. Let alone 3. I am going to be in Prague and my hotel is 30 min walk from the first shop awesome. I have days in Prague.
WOW ! I see this is 3 years ago, but you have really helped to inspire me to try later this year to try from my 49th year to my 50th year in Canada from October 13th this year to the same date next year, when I will be 76, it’s going to be fun this year thinking about the colours, possibly putting on a sparkling gold edging, and using it for our anniversary and two birthdays. Some sort of special colour for our four son’s birthdays or maybe just staying with gold for those special days , so it’s not too much ❤
Thank You, Found this helpful :)
I'm 65 & took the craft fair leap of faith last year. I make off loom beaded jewellery & some pieces take me a day to make. I've had a really positive experience so far & even on those days when I don't sell tons it's just lovely to get out there & meet some lovely people.
Im just started with my temperature blanket from my birth year. I’m making granny’s with the middle the high temperature, the second row the average, third row is the low and then I do white for my borders and month separate are multicolor yarn. For my sister I make one for her graduation year in blue and grey tones she chose the colors herself for it. For my son i made one for the first 6 months of his life.
That all sounds amazing! I hope they turn out beautifully. Follow me on instagram/Facebook and send me updates. I'd love to see them
Well I literally laughed out loud watching 🤣 you still got it!!
Aww thanks Mate! 💁
Whoop whoop you're back....yay, you're absolutely fabulous ❤❤ xx
Yay, thank you!
Nice to see you back 😊
Thanks Mate! Hope you're well
Hi Louise, great to see you back 🎉can you let me know if possible what classes you are doing at NCTC please, I never seem to be able to find them 🤷♀️ would love to join in on one or two and catch up with you of course xx
Hi Tina! Here is the link with all of the live classes. More will be going up this week. They're filling up fast so I hope you can get a space. www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/north-cambridgeshire-training-centre-55360408053
Thanks for the link, all booked up 😮 will have to keep having a look to check anymore that get listed xx
I'll try to remember to give you a heads up.@@tinagill2785
There are not enough all year long Christmas shops, wish you every success, ooo lots of carrots to keep us interested, lovely to see you back, can’t wait to see and hear more 💜
Thank you! It's great to be back. We need more Christmas!
Sad to hear about patches such a shame :/ Glad you're feeling a bit more up beat and raring I love the idea of an all year round Christmas shop I'd loved that :) good luck for 2024 it sounds like it'll be lots of fun I look forward to catching up with it all :)
Thanks Mate! I'm glad you're still here. It've been keeping up with everything you've been up to. So excited about your successes
Hello! I'm inspired to crochet a temperature blanket with granny squares also ! I'm trying to figure out how much yarn do i need ... How much yarn did you use for the color that joins the squares ? Thanks for sharing your tips! Have a nice day
Nice to see people doing it in the uk, im thinking of doing a temperature scarf instead 🥳
Starting mine january 2024. Thanx for the tips
Salam alaikum dear friend 🙏 MashAllah lovely place 🥰🥰🥰 wonderful video 👍👍 my dear friend 🙏❤️🌺🙏🤲 from Pakistan 🇵🇰 I'm New friend 🙏
How did this work for you over time? I’m looking for a way to display the buttons so that if I want to find some, I can see them.
Ohh no! What a shame after all your planning!
Interesting project idea and I like your thoughts on it. I've got to say though, that loud popping sound effect you use every time you make a point is extremely jarring. I almost couldn't make it through the video because of it.
Marvelous video an excellent advice you’ve given me the push to start it. Thank you.
How did you put your squares together? Did you one line with the squares of January and then February or did you mix?
A born teacher teaches ! So, Why not make training videos Delivered online automatically. Teaching people the ins and outs of Videoing. Editing. Planning an international trip Things needed etc etc. Writing your story Journey Etc etc
Great ideas. I’ll add them to the list and see what works
Bless you Louise. So sorry things didn’t work out for your trip. Very inspiring the way you’ve turned the situation around by looking at it as a positive in terms of UK travels, twists & turns and as you say - who knows what fabulous adventures you may find along the way. Enjoy 😊
Thank you so much!
What about a tour of UK quilt shops/quilting shows?
I’d definitely been considering this!
That's what I was going to suggest a bit of a UK road trip with workshops on the way :) bless you Louise xx
I’m glad you agree! Just need bookings now 🤣
Just go for a shorter trip.
That’s the plan and a few overseas too
Can you do some uk trips go to some coastal areas and shop like Dorset Cornwall areas and fabric shop the uk?
That’s definitely something I’m considering!
Hi Louise sorry to hear that your plans need to change this summer, I’m sure it will still be an eventful one and you can enjoy visiting new places in the UK ❤
I hope so too!
This is awesome!! I mean - who knew there was an IKEA Museum?!?!
That’s it - this is officially my new fave vlog 🎉AND Oh my gosh what an absolute emporium for everything fabrics this is. Worth going to Sweden for that alone 😊
Aww thanks Sandy. It's great to have you here. I'm about to go on another adventure so stay tuned for that!
Thanks a million for this hugely valuable vid!!!! This was just what I was looking for - an absolute beginners vid, communicated in simple terms. I finally feel a bit more clued up and ready to go!!
🎉🎉🎉 really lovely ending
Looks like you had the best time. And glad to see you playing my fave, Rummikub 😄
Such a fun video 😊 you guys are great together! Love the jackets and Mel’s embroidery is fab!
Thanks Jo! We had the best day
Ace video and hope everything works out x
Thank you so much for sharing Louise, I can completely relate ❤ looking forward to seeing you soon and hearing all about your new job xx
Big love to you Louise ❤
Thanks Leyla
❤❤❤❤
Good to see you back !!
It’s good to be back
Lovely to see you here 😊 Best wishes for your new job and your degree, a busy lady 💛
Thanks Jo
Sending you hugs Louise, I totally get the struggles, having a bit of a dip myself of late. The college position sounds fab! and having done my degree at 27 I sympathise and empathise, I loved my degree but as a single mum with a 9-12 year old it was NOT easy.
Thanks Donna. Hope you’re feeling ok too. We’ve got this
Would be nice to see the fabrics for a bit longer!
Where is the blue yarn behind you on the left side of the screen from?? I need one just like it😭
Hi! I know it has been long since you made this blanket. But may i pls know what was the finished size of the blanket?
whats for sale i,m looking
"I know you're watching this" 😂 yes, yes I am. I made a thing!
9 not 12 - a great crochet session. Thank you.
