Hello everyone! If you are like me, you probably have a bunch of acetate packaging from dies and some stamps, and like me, you don’t dare throw it away because it could be useful! I will be doing an entire blog on acetate diorama cards later on, but for today, I started simple. First, I […]
Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and have had a lovely summer? Where has this year gone? If you’re like me and get paid monthly, it’s only 4 paydays until Christmas!! It’s that time again already for me to give you an insight in to my crafty shenanigans! Now last time we spoke […]

Well as I’m sure you all know by now I’m a self-confessed Tonicaholic and was absolutely over the moon to […]

Hello everyone, I’ve been up to mischief! What again? I hear you ask. I’ve been busy purchasing some more luscious material to do some quilting with and I’ve enjoyed all the bright colours and different patterns that are available. Well, now that there isn’t much to do in the garden and I’m managing to finish […]
Hello fellow crafters! Today, I’m going to talk about a new project I’ve been working on. Do you remember the “Paint with water” books from when we were kids? I loved those! They were my absolute favourite, and while they do still exist today, I was inspired by a few of the Hochanda presenters to […]
Hi everyone, welcome to the Hochanda Blog. I hope you have enjoyed the summer, now Autumn is rapidly approaching. One of my favourite seasons with the trees changing colours to glorious shades of orange, the colder nights when you get to snuggle in bed in the duvet. Thought I’d share with you a project I’ve […]
