Background

Welcome to my blog of little bits of randomness from me and my amazing life. I have been inspired by all the lovely bloggers out there that I decided that it is high time that I join you all and I look forward to receiving your feedback.

I enjoy all things photographic (although I am only an amateur and use a point and shoot camera) and craft, and intend to share some of this with you .

My Cranberry Lane brand is an eclectic range of handmade lovlies all handmade by myself and you can also experience my items in my etsy shop and madeit shop as well as on ebay. You can also see me at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cranberry-Lane/124083160951544#!/pages/Cranberry-Lane/124083160951544 so please feel free to hop on over and take a look.

Ok, I guess it can be time for the big reveal seeing as others are beginning to blog about it. Drum roll if you please......

Saturday 20th Feb from 8am to 2pm I am going to have a stall at the Handmade Expo at the Ipswich Turf Club with my range of handmade items. I have been busy creating up a storm in preparation. Can't say too much but I am expanding my range of goodies - soon to be included on etsy.com and yes they are all handmade by me. I am sooo excited about this new venture. Anyway better get back to it.

I have however been keepimg up with all my blogger friends and have also entered a couple of competitions - fingers crossed, and becoming inspired once again by all the beautiful work. Don't forget my work can be found on ebay and also etsy and soon on .....drum roll......(sorry will have to wait a little bit longer) but I better get creating.
