    Crafts

    Ali loves to write about crafts - in fact that was one of the main things that she used to blog about when the blog was originally called Cookies and Cwtches. Ali used to have an online shop called Lina Loves and she sold handmade blankets, baby bibs and other things.

    Ali's daughters were also really into crafting when they were younger - in fact Miss J still is so we spent a lot of time in the arts and crafts box. Unfortunately the boys weren't so keen so there hasn't been as much craft content on here lately, although that is something we hope to rectify.
