Beautiful Things
I'm Claire Mackaness. I own and operate Beautiful Things a.k.a BTHQ. A fabulous craft studio in rural Essex.
By day I teach crochet, sewing and handicrafts and I like to enjoy a fun filled life with my family. As well as crafting, I love to travel, eat in fancy restaurants, go shopping on my husbands credit card and enjoy a cheeky tipple..........or two!
Join me as I continue on my mission to teach the world that crafting is the best form of therapy. And that #metime is the most important time of the day.
