I am a mother of three and wife to one. Before I had children I was a chocolatier and a baker. Cooking and baking was the way I was creative in my day to day life, but with three little ones that doesn’t work for me any more. I learned to sew when my first was just a baby and it filled the creative void. Since then I’ve learned to make clothes, plush, quilts, and recently took up crocheting. This wonderful and supportive craft blog community has helped me learn to make and inspired me to keep making.

One more thing, my name is Meg, not Elsie. The name of my blog comes from a nursery rhyme about a bar maid:
Elsie Marley’s grown so fine,
She won’t get up to feed the swine,
But lies in bed ’til eight or nine!
Lazy Elsie Marley.
