New cards Autumn/Winter 2018



Hello this is just a quick one to apologise for my lack of posts over the last couple of weeks.
Between my little going back to school, getting ready to move and creating my new stock I have literally had no time for anything!




















But today I have launched my new ranges of blank greetings cards on Etsy. They are so beautiful and compliment my other products so well. I have been working so hard on them and hope you like them too. Take a look and at my Etsy page too


Enjoy.....

10 Alternatives to a traditional wedding cake

Ok, so let's face it, not everyone likes cake and nobody likes the huge price tag attached to wedding cakes. But panic not! There are so many alternatives to a traditional fruit sponge that will knock your guests' socks off and in most instances, save you some pennies to put into your honeymoon G&T piggy bank. With lots of newer ideas I have intermingled some oldies but goodies. And yes we've seen them before but WHOOOAAHH MAMMA they are still good. Pour example......... 1. Cheese Towers - If you, like me, enjoy cheesy good times and teetering on the edge of a heart attack, then this is the one for you. Serve it with crackers, biscuits and slices of fruit. It will be a winner with any wedding party. And if you are in the North Wales /The North West of England, why not check out my buddies at The Little Cheesemonger in Rhuddlan, North Wales. The people there are beautiful but more importantly, the shop sells cheese, bread and Gin - enough said. Cheese towers star...

Anxiety, Apologies and starting a new......

So, I have been wanting to write this post for a while. Over the last few months I have not posted or promoted or done anything very much with Approved Crafting. I have had to let a couple lovely customers down which I absolutely despise and had to put off work. The reason? LIFE! Or more precisely the Anxiety of life. I'd like to open up a bit...... (T.M.I. ALLERT!) I am a hard working, creative, kind and reliable person. However, I am also shy, introverted, lack confidence in areas and struggle with feeling like an imposter. I have had anxiety and panic attacks since I was 18. I have had counselling, been part of studies and been on and off medication since then, all with varying success. At my best I have been just.... well... normal. At my worst I can't leave the house. But most of the time I am somewhere in between. I have had to accept that anxiety and the ups and downs it brings is just a part of my life and always will be. Starting my own business has been so m...

Work, life, panic, repeat.........

Last week I wrote about my struggles with anxiety, I was so overwhelmed by the lovely messages that I received afterwards, so thank you to those who read it. I know this is a craft blog and you are saying, Lowri, why don't you just show us some cards or how to make a pompom or something, and I will but I just wanted to write a quick follow up. I found it so interesting that many of the messages I received contained the same phrase ........  "It's so nice to know I am not alone". Anxiety and Depression can feel so isolating. Be it from feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, unconfident or just plain embarrassed. When you are on a downward spiral it is just easier to stay at home. Stay in bed. Stay away. But life needs to continue, right? Work, family, life obligations and the rest. If you weren't feeling shit before, having to doll yourself up, slap on a smile and go and talk to a client, manager or twatish mum at some god awful playgroup, will definatly m...
