making things

Making things has a very special attraction to me. Whether it is sewing my own clothes or up-cycling a writing desk, I just get a kick out of it. Making things has also lead me to create two other blogs on the subject!

The Ugly Duckling blog is all about design, DIY and re-cycling whether it’s kitchens, furniture or clothes.
