Portrait

Well, here I am. You’ve probably seen pics of me before now but I guess it always helps to put a face to the business name. I’m the face of Colour My Dreams and have been since it was born back in November 2017. I will continue to be so until such time that I can’t manage to use a pair of knitting needles, crochet hook or be able to stand at my macrame frame.

•

I’m passionate about my craft work, I absolutely love making all the products that I do on a daily basis and all I want is for others to as well. I’d like people to not just buy one of my products because they like the look of it or they ‘need’ it, but because they appreciate the ethos of my businesses.

•

As I mentioned in my post about Beliefs and Values, I’m all about looking after our environment, being plastic free and ensuring that I source my materials from trusted, responsible suppliers. If these things aren’t important to you, then I guess my business isn’t for you.

•

I don’t and never will apologise for my prices being higher than Primark, Asos, Amazon etc… I’m not competing with them. I know my materials are ethically sourced I know how my one employee is treated, because that is me! I make all my products. I don’t pretend to be something I’m not, I’ve got nothing to hide.

•

There you go, a portrait of me and my business. Take me or leave me. I won’t be everyone’s beanie, but I will be someones.

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 🎄

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.
