Life's Big Canvas - unique gifts from Chloe McGenn

 
So far the links page is mainly adorable, amazing crafty women (and a couple of token men) who I enjoy seeing what they're doing online. I hope you get as much fun out of their sites as I do.

If you'd like to be on here, just drop me an email, and tell me. If I like your stuff, I'll probably do a feature on you on the blog and add you here. If I don't, I won't. Simple as.

Click the pictures to go to the websites.

Growing Up With Books

It's like ASOS, but less annoying and with indie designers. Some of the stuff you'll see on other sites on this page is also here.

Beautiful blogger, who makes stuff and shares it online.

Definatalie

She's fancy, she's feisty, she's nearly broken her arm cause she can't stop drawing.

Ralph Kidson

Picture
Ralphie once drew me as an elastic band. It's one of my prize possessions and is framed in my bedroom. That's how much I love Ralphie.

Says Ingrid

Ingrid is very sweet, talks about art and posts nice photos. She's like an antidote to young girls who talk rubbish.

Twinkiechan

Amazing crocheted food - best known for her scarves, but also makes pouches, pins, tissue cozies, etc

Beautiful whimsical jewellery, and has renewed my love for shoe clips.

Gorgeously simple necklaces, some printed tees, and other cute things.

The Sugar Monster

Candid words from the infamous Heidi. If you click one link on this page, read her blog. Everyone else is selling stuff, she's just baring her soul.

The Goff Shop

Picture
Clothing, homewares, and baby stuff in cute, retro and alternative fabrics.

Kitty Pinkstars

Picture
Makes stuff out of socks and felt, and therefore is amazing.

Anna Fur Laxis

Burlesque, axe-thrower, and all round gorgeous creature.

Miss Needles

Pink haired wearable art terrorist. Nowhere near as scary as that makes her sound. She's an absolute diamond.

Eternal Magpie

Claire likes making clothes, smelly stuff, photographing things... basically anything you do with your hands. She's another thoughtful person I have in my online life.

Servas Gschaeft

Picture
Gorgeous fruit cutesy hand made soaps, and other fun stuff she might decide to sell.

Lou Blogs

Picture
Fairly new blog, but promises to be interesting. So far she's blogged about plus size vintage shopping in Sheffield, and how much she wants a cake stand - two surefire ways to get my attention.
