I am delight to introduce a fabulous guest blog post from my good friend and scrapbooking guru, Chloe. She is also a friend of the iMake podcast and most recently featured in Episode 18 – Picture Perfect and Episode 21 – In a Spin. Chloe is training to be a midwife but always makes time for craft and is a regular craft blogger. You can find her blog on WordPress, it’s called Sparkly Shoes are Faster. Take it away, Chloe…
I am always pleased to hear from creative people interested in writing for iMake. Today I am delighted to welcome Shelly Terry to the iMake blog. Shelly designs and makes beautiful greeting cards – her company is Evelyn Mae. Please check out the Evelyn Mae website www.evelynmae.co.uk. You can also find Evelyn Mae on Folksy and Facebook. Shelly is going to be sponsoring a giveaway on the iMake blog early in July, so please come back next week. We will be giving away 4 of her beautiful handmade greeting cards. So, without further ado, I give you Shelly’s guest blog post for iMake, all about starting her own creative business…
I have another interview for you, this time, with the lovely Amanda. Amanda has many strings to her bow. When she isn’t busy making things for her Etsy shop, she writes an excellent craft blog and presents her own craft podcast – Craft Life (it’s fab). You might recall that I played her promo on a recent episode of the iMake podcast. I hope you enjoy finding out more about her through the iMake interview. Take it away, Amanda…
It’s time for another interview. I’d like to introduce you to knitwear designer and, I think it is fair to say, ‘knitting goddess’, Sarah. All images in the interview are by Sarah. I really hope you enjoy this interview.
Image details – EtsyCraft Contest Entry by Debbie Chialtas, via Flickr I am delighted to bring you another guest blog post, this time, from a craft website expert (my words, not his, I assure you!) Let me introduce you to our guest blog post writer, Matt. Matt is one of the directors of Mattched IT Ltd, a website and software design/development company, as well as being one of the owners of Handmade Crafts Directory UK and a keen fan of everything arty and crafty.

“Modern Quilt Wrap” knitted in 2009 by Kate As you’ll be aware, recently I’ve been interviewing a number of crafters, bloggers and podcasters that I admire and enjoy the work of. I’d like to introduce you to Kate. I ‘met’ Kate (in the virtual sense of the word) through Jesse, the original inspiration for my sock yarn blanket. Kate has a fascinating craft background and also writes 2 fantastic blogs. Kate is working on a wonderful charity project too that you might be able to get involved with (more at the end of the interview). Thank you Kate for providing such a fabulous interview…
Image details – Microphone, by visual.dichotomy, via Flickr In an attempt to showcase interesting crafters, bloggers and podcasters and also to share the handmade love, I have published several iMake interviews recently. A few blog readers made the crazy suggestion that perhaps I should interview myself. Well I rather like that crazy idea so here goes.
I think one of the most important aspects of being a crafter, and indeed a blogger, is participating in the fantastic communities that surround these rewarding pastimes. When I started the iMake blog part of my master plan was to occasionally showcase other crafters, bloggers and podcasters to ‘do my bit’ for the creative community and share the handmade love. And so the ‘iMake interview’ was born. You can read some of my earlier interviews here. So let me introduce you to Sarah. Sarah is a relatively new blogger but she is clearly enjoying her first foray into the blogsphere. Here she is…
I’d like to introduce you to Jo from Glassprimtif and Artists in Business. Jo is a busy lady – a woman after my own heart. If you have listened to the last episode of the iMake podcast (Episode 16 Time and Space) you will know that Jo has been kind enough to offer a beautiful piece of fused glass as a giveaway. You can see examples of her work in the above photograph. To enter, please have a listen to the episode and then leave a comment on the show notes. So without further ado, here’s Jo…
Continuing with my series of blog interviews with crafty people, I’d like to introduce you to Leeanna. Not only does she have a rather fabulous name, but is is a talented jewellery maker too. I hope you enjoy this interview. |
