This interview is the next installment in my series of interviews with local crafters.
I am delighted to introduce you to Gina aka InkBison. Gina and I were at school together but we have not seen each other for… well… more years than I care to remember! (Feeling old…!) So it was a lovely surprise to get an email from her about her brand new crafty project. It’s been an absolute pleasure interviewing her.

This is my second Etsy treasury list. It’s called ‘Orange: my new favourite colour’. I am really enjoying treasury lists. They are a great way to showcase handmade crafters you admire. I hope you like this little selection of lovely items, handpicked by moi…

I made homemade lentil soup for dinner tonight, served with homemade granary bread and Guernsey butter. I can’t for the life of me remember where this recipe came from, but it was so delicious I just had to share …

A short while ago I blogged about a fab iPhone photography app called Instagram. I am having lots of fun with this app so I thought I’d share a couple of my favourite photos!

This is a bumper episode focusing on our wonderful crafty community. There’s quite a bit of knitting (including a knitalong with the lovely Chloe and Kate), news on my ebook and some other crafty community recommendations. There is also an update on the forthcoming Guernsey Literary Potato Peel Pie Society movie. Sadly I didn’t get the lead role, but have a listen to the show to find out who did! Grab a cup of something warm and comforting and join me for some crafty chatter.

I am planning a series of interviews with local crafters at the moment so hopefully this will be the first of several. (Incidentally, if you are a Guernsey crafter interested in being featured on the iMake blog, please drop me a line). Lisa and Sarah are sisters that share a passion for craft. They formed Maggie and Mabel last year to share their gorgeous handmade creations with the world. They make a wide range of products and everything has a lovely, homely feel. Their products include cards, framed cross-stitch pictures, covered notebooks, blankets and (my personal favourite) jars of crafty bits and bobs with a pin cushion on the lid. Maggie and Mabel have very kindly offered to sponsor next month’s blog giveaway, so keep an eye out!

My lovely friend Charles (friend of the iMake podcast) sent me an odd tweet the other day asking if I wanted some baskets. A friend of his cleared out her loft. Don’t ask me why, but her loft was pretty much full of baskets. Knowing that Charles was a crafty sort, she offered them to him. He, being a generous fellow, offered to share them with me!
So I am now the proud owner of rather a lot of baskets… but I have no idea what to do with them. Can anyone make any suggestions? Thank you in advance! Here are some initial thoughts. I could fill them with …
While I am being cheeky and asking for your help, please don’t forget to fill out my research survey on this post before the end of the month. Many thanks.

In my last podcast I mentioned that I was planning to write an ebook this year. I have joined a fabulous online class about ebook publishing hosted by the fabulous Sister Diane from Craftypod. Check out her other online classes here. It’s week 2, and I need to do some research. What on earth am I going to write this book about? Well, handmade crafts seem to be a good starting point. But what am I going to focus on specifically?
