About Me

I love to sew and to create. I love to be inspired. I see things all the time and think "I could make that".  The satisfaction you get when you've made something that looks and fits, just right. Awesome!

My Mum taught me to sew, when I was young. I had one of those dinky little sewing machines that you turn the handle to sew with.  I'm not sure what I actually made with it, dolls clothes I expect!  She was always letting me use hers, to make clothes for my cabbage patch doll, Peggy.  She bought me a sewing machine for my 23rd birthday, stipulating it had to be a Husqvarna, as that is what her mother bought for her - it is still going strong (and so is Grandma's machine, given to her by her Mum!). 

Why the blog ? I want to share my creativity with anyone who wants to be inspired to do something too!  The Toffee Tree is my way of dealing with the craziness of life, enables my creativity and gives me a bit of lee-way to be messy.

Thanks for visiting my blog and sharing in my sewing adventures.
