- Are the colours wrong?
- Are the products lovely, but not quite what you want?
- Do you want to know more about me as the creator?
- Is Colour My Dreams just not ticking the boxes for you?

Your feedback is important...
A lot of small craft type businesses are struggling at the moment, that includes me and my Colour My Dreams adventure. When I got back into knitting, crocheting and macrame, after far too many years, I really hoped that the things I knew I was reasonably good at, might actually be things that people would buy.
I was so thrilled when my macrame pot hangers, beanies and scarves started attracting some attention and I actually started selling a few.
It gave me the confidence boost I needed to think this thing might work and I could make a business out of it.

Lockdown has been tough for all of us - mentally, physically and emotionally. When we all found ourselves stuck at home, online sales went through the roof for a lot of businesses, particularly the supermarkets - all that essential stuff that we need and not just want. Sales were also up for me for the first couple of months of lockdown, but since the shops were allowed to reopen again, it has waned somewhat.
Funny thing is, so many of you have been checking out my website and following my social media, but that’s where it stops. The feedback I'm getting has been nothing but positive, I'm so grateful for your kind words of encouragement. Without sounding needy, I'd like to know what I need to do to get you to part with your hard earned cash and buy something from Colour My Dreams, rather than go to a High Street chain.
What am I doing wrong?
If you like my stuff and even got to the point of considering a purchase, what stopped you?
I really want to know, tell me!
I want to make it right for you.

Colourful Ramblings
Life has been somewhat topsy turvy for the past few years. With Covid affecting the whole world and then my own little world being challenged with the tedium that comes with trying to sell my house and move to somewhere new; I've been feeling somewhat overwhelmed. The one constant in my life has been my yarns, hooks and needles. I honestly think they are to thank for getting me through the past four years with a semblance of sanity in tact.
If I was to rank 2022 on a scale of 1 - 10, it's a solid 5. Neither wonderful nor disastrous, in school report terms, "could do better".
A new life and a new start is in reaching distance, I just have to be patient. I’ll keep doing the right things to make it happen and hopefully, before long I’ll be sharing with you my new adventure.
This day was always going to come, the day I say au revoir to all of you who signed up to my newsletters, visited my website, bought my products and offered kind words of support. Many of you did that regularly and I’m really grateful.
It took a pandemic to make me realise that I am enough. Yes, the me that I am today is more than enough, I don’t need to be anything more. I discovered that I don’t need to wear make-up and wash my hair every day (yes, I used to wash it every day - how ridiculous was that) and my pared back wardrobe was more than enough too.
