Homemade vs get someone else to do it?

Good evening all!

This post is all about the bonus of knowing crafters and buying off them instead of making it yourself! I'm all about learning new crafts, no matter if I'm good or not, it's all about the learning for me; BUT I do know some really talented crafters who ply their trade near me in Waddington, Lincolnshire, UK. If it weren't for them my boys wouldn't have the little things that help them go to sleep or behave, and I wouldn't have some great friends or items for presents.

I want to do some shout outs to them in this post so you can also take part in some of their fab items:

1. Cranky Bunny - if its printable she can print it! I've had an early bunny suit made for my youngest and a special top for a special mum. She also stocks JellyStone teething items as well. Www.crankybunny.co.uk

2. TrapDoor Bags - extremely local (down the street) sewing genius! I have my one of a kind bag from her and love it! Check her out on Facebook!

3. Owl and Me - met at an event I was working and couldn't help myself when I saw the Cat in the Hat iPhone case, camper van lunch bag and pirate taggie that she made herself! Find her on Facebook too!!

4. The CopyShop - in Birchwood, Lincoln, UK, they are local printers and have designed and printed my business cards and shown love to my boys even when they are busy and the boys are annoying! On Facebook and Birchwood - Chris and Steph Johnson!

Others that have influenced me, taught me or otherwise poked me (lol) are Amanda Mason-Scott and Petra Lucas! I love them all and I either buy off all of them, get taught by them or are best friends with them!

If you know of any local crafters please support them as without them we will loose crafts and also they will suffer financially - we all have bills to pay!
