A bit more about me…
Hi there readers,
I’m Ann, aka AnnPan, aka Snow…. the nickname ‘Snow’ has grown on me since starting in crafts so I will use that moniker for this blog… if that suits you. I also answer to the name ‘Mum’, ‘Mummy’,'Love’ and ‘Hoy You!!!”
I live on, what I like to call a mini-holding, in a tiny village near Lanark in Scotland.
We moved here from Glasgow so we could live a more sustainable, self-sufficient-ish life… you can find out more about that side of me over in my other blog The Boghead Diaries
***************************
We are currently undergoing major upheaval after a naughty builder messed up our house.
I can’t wait to get painting and decorating but until then we live between relatives and friends while we slowly put our home back together.
**********************************
My Granny showed me how to sew on a button at age 5, I have been knitting since I was 8 or 9, crocheting since I was around 14… I have dabbled in cross-stitch and embroidery, screen printing, dressmaking, upholstery, patchwork and woodwork… with various levels of success and enjoyment.
**********************************
I set up my Snowdrops and Daisies shop in Etsy in August 2008, and branched out to The Tea Cosy Shop in July 2010. Since then I have been lucky enough to have sold to customers throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. I know also hold a presence on Dawanda and Folksy

My qualifications include, (amongst other high accolades)
a U in ‘Higher Physics’,
and three quarters of a NC in ‘Radio Production and Sound Engineering’.

In the next year I hope to start a qualification in Horticulture to take my Mini-holding a bit further and to provide myself with a further income.
I have plans to expand my wholesale supply lines as well as increase my online shops.
Through this blog I hope to share some of my favourite sellers, some of my favourite items and share some of my techniques and tips. I hope you enjoy it.
Snow x
