Retro-fying my blog.

I’ve been having a play with new a new blog theme this afternoon – it was time for a change from my ultra-minimalist blog style. This one is a little bit retro and a lot clearer I think. Anyway we’ll see how it goes.
I’ve become obsessed with a 1960s font called Pastilli Roman – mostly used in magazines. It doesn’t exist in a digitised format so I’ve been looking for similar fonts… I’m not quite sure where my obsession with retro comes from but I’m drawn to it in graphic and interior design as well as crafting at the moment.

Hello. My name is Claire. I have a sock toy addiction. It began two years ago when I was pregnant and nesting. At first I dismissed it. I hadn't sewn in years. "Craft Schmaft" I said. Well it seems this crafty thing is here to stay. This blog brings you the delights of making sock softies, fabric finds and crafty inspiration from round the interweb.
