So as the title suggests our blog is 1 today! Happy Birthday us.
We actually started thinking about and procrastinating over the Blog a while before we finally did it, but our first post was on the 21st June 2011! My has it gone quickly!
We have learnt alot and met some fantastic people though this time and hope that we will continue to do so. Being part of a craft community whether online or dare I say 'in the real world' has been an amazing experience for us both and long may it continue. We want to explore this world of ours so much more and hope to get some more trips in the diary so that we can tell you all about what we are up to - any excuse hey!
What started off a year ago with talking about what we were up to and things we made at home has turned into; being part of a local group 'The Craft Coop'; taking on the planning of our first ever 'Live it Vintage' event - thanks to H's event experience and Sam's enthusiasm and love of her town Maidenhead, along with some great Maidonians also; running workshops from Bunting and mobile phone cases, to hand puppets with Little Pickles; and finally by no means least, letting all you lovely people learn how to make things yourself with online tutorials or our ready to go kits!
So to celebrate, we have a little Competition for you, the prizes are
1st Prize - All 5 kits from our collection
2nd Prize - 2 Kits of your choice from our collection
3rd Prize - 1 Kit of your choice from our collection
(Kits include: Sewing Machine Cover, Mobile Phone Case, Personalised Bunting, Rosette, Shopper Bag)
All you have to do is tell us what you would love to learn how to make, so just finish the sentence below:
I would like to learn how to make ...
Send in your answers to liveit.loveit.makeit@gmail.com by Friday 13th July 2012.
We will then pick the best 3 to win the prizes, simple hey.
The best part is that we will then make the top three into tutorials for the blog and hey if we get loads of lovely ones, we may just keep on putting them up.
What's next for us includes finally getting our acts in gear to get some of our handmade items online and then hopefully - with the help of some talented friends - getting our own website up and running.
So please do keep reading, and chatting to us. We love to hear about your projects, get your responses to things we have written or be nosey into your lives - look out for a craft space series of posts soon!
and if you want to get in touch or would love to write us a post, please do get in touch through the blog, on our facebook page or even on our email: liveit.loveit.makeit@gmail.com.
Bye for now, we are off to eat our body weight in cake! Well what are birthday's for??!!
Sammy & H
Live it. Love it. Make it
