March Meet the Maker - 1st March 2022

Mar 01, 2022

Me and My Work

Another March has come around and that means another MARCH MEET THE MAKER. I'll be doing my best over the coming month to share as much as I can about my business and about me, hoping that something you see and read, might give you reason to give my products a try. Here goes...

I'm a prolific crafter and maker. I create homewares, fashion items and accessories from yarn, wool, cotton and cord - if it can be knitted or knotted, I'll give it a go. I'm also a graphic designer so am occasionally my own client when working on my Colour My Dreams website and social platforms (Colour My Dreams).


I love a bit of gardening and am pretty much self taught, making lots of mistakes and enjoying success too. I'm currently decorating my house and have found my inner diy-er skills - it's damn hard work, but am loving the results. A beautifully painted room provides immeasurable satisfaction.


I'm currently learning French which is rather challenging for my memory and my confidence, but I'm enjoying the little moments of success.


My musical taste covers so many genres, from classical music to the latest pop and I must admit to being a long standing Take That fan. I can't pass up the opportunity for a bit of TT.


Thanks for reading! Cathie x

Open for Business

By Cathie George • 13 Feb, 2024
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.
Festive Greetings from Colour My Dreams. Don't forget to have fun!

🎄Festive Greetings 🎄

By Cathie George • 23 Dec, 2022
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.

Au Revoir, but not Goodbye

By Cathie George • 25 Jul, 2022
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.

I Am Enough

By Cathie George • 10 Jun, 2022
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.
