I’m always keen to promote handmade crafts and gifts and personally would much prefer to make someone a gift or buy them something hand crafted than buy something mass produced. When you buy handmade you know that the maker has taken the time to make each piece unique, individual in it’s own way and certainly not something you would find in highstreet shops.

If you’re a reader of the Daily Mail then you’ll have been reading today’s You Magazine. Within it’s pages you’ll find an article all about Upcycling and Recycling featuring some rather crafty ladies – great article. What makes even greater is that Milomade is mentioned in the text right at the bottom – hurrah!

I was recently asked this question by the guys at Makers Online with regards to how I package my goods as well as how I present them. They asked me to answer a few questions and my answers appeared on their blog in July – I’ve only just got round to noticing! Ooops. So if you’d like to find out where I source all my biodegradable packaging or find out how I make my gift bags or find out what goes into making my craft fair displays, read on.

Just a quick little post to let you know that I got interviewed for the ‘Meet the Maker’ slot on the Makers-Online blog recently and it got posted on the site this week. You can follow this link to read all about “me me me”! I don’t know how to edit, so it’s quite a lengthy read but very informative and I tired to take a different slant on thing so as to make it different from my other recent interview in the UK Handmade Magazine Summer Issue.

I just read a really great feature on Handmade Weddings by Karen Jinks on the Boho Weddings & Events blog to raise the profile of the new Wedding Accessories section on the Makers-Online website. It’s full of high quality bridal jewellery, wedding extras, fascinators, wedding cards and hair accessories – all uniquely hand crafted by talented designers and makers.

I’ve had a bit of a break on this blog from my regular 20 Questions feature – I think doing it once a week wore me out and kind of put me off. So I’ve decided to start this up as a monthly feature from now on – so if you want to get featured, please feel free to download this questionnaire, fill it out and send it back to me.
This month I am interviewing The Cupcake Lady.

My next victim is Katcha Bilek who runs Re-Collect and designs and makes the most amazing fashion accessories from recycled materials – namely truck inner tubes collected from local tyre repair centres. The straps on them are old car seatbelts from local car scrap yards. The belts are made of bike tyres from local bike shops. Everything is hand made locally, cut and sewn by hand with no use of electrical machinery or children. The materials make a great alternative to animal products and due to the nature of the material each product is unique.
