Simple Homemade Magazine – Great Excitement

I had a very exciting e-mail about a week or so ago from Paula who wrote to tell me that Fiddle Fart had been included on the Inspiring Blogs page of Issue 8 of Simply Homemade magazine, which I knew absolutely nothing about. 
Well, vanity got the better of me and I went in search of a copy, only to find that getting this issue was like gold dust, even from the website!  However ever resourceful I wrote to Lindsey at Practical Publishing and she sent me a copy.  THANK YOU Lindsey.
And there I was at the bottom of page 34 – In The Blogosphere!  I am dead chuffed.

The magazine is brilliant, the ideas are simple and use products I am familiar with and includes ideas like knitting, sewing and jewellery making that I wouldn’t be afraid to have a go at,  like the painted coasters made from tiles which I will be having a go at in the coming week.

I very rarely buy craft magazines now, after having several subscriptions for a couple of years everything became very boring and samey, but my interest has been rekindled and I will definitely be picking up a copy of Simply Homemade when I see it.
