mum with a plan

I quit my secure, full time job in 2012 to start my own successful part time Creative Business.

It was the best decision I have ever made! I now am in an enviable position of loving my job, earning money, and being able to choose when I work. This gives me more time to spend with my family. 

I am the proud owner of a handmade dog accessories business, which is very popular both on and offline, as well as recently starting up an online fabric business (December, 2020) that is growing quickly.

I am based in Liverpool, UK, but have customers all over the world!

I hope to be able to share my knowledge and experiences with you, as this is something anyone can do.
