Welcome to the Savvy Sister's Blogg

Wendy (my sister) and I had this idea to create an on-line community for like-minded women (both young and old) who wanted to share knowledge, skills, ideas. Generally supporting each other in the same way neigbours would support each other in the days when you knew who lived next door or down the road!

Day by day we are building on this idea - our blog will track our journey and you are welcome to join us.

Our Mum, Jean

Mum has been felting - as I mentioned in a previous post, she started off Wendy & I's love of crafting when we were very little.  She is very creative and as a brilliant eye for colour, I've added some of the photos of her at work below.

Mum was also very entrepreneurial in her day - she started many a successful business from a market stall selling wool and children's clothes back in the 1960s, opening a second hand clothes shop in the 70s and selling hand-made cards in the 80s & 90s.  All to help make ends meet for our large family - she has 5 children, all grown up with children and in some cases grandchildren of their own.
