Episode 100 : From Postcard from Gibraltar to Making Stitches

Hello and welcome to the 100th episode of Making Stitches Podcast. 

Way back in April of 2020 when I published my first ever Making Stitches Podcast episode, I had no idea that over 5 years later, I would be publishing episode 100! That blows my tiny mind!

In the months leading up to this milestone, I had a couple of conversations with my lovely yarny friend, Christine Perry (aka Winwick Mum) and she suggested marking this podcast milestone with a different kind of episode – one with me as the guest.

After much consideration, I took Christine up on her kind offer and let her turn the tables – asking me the questions instead. At the start of December, we had a lovely time having a long chat and recording this episode. 

Among the topics we covered were where I first learned to sew, knit and crochet, my career in journalism and how I got started in radio, our family’s time in Gibraltar and how that led to starting my Postcard from Gibraltar blog back in 2015, making friends through the world of creativity, podcasting and blogging and, of course, 5 years of Making Stitches Podcast.

I hope you enjoy listening to my ramblings about how I ended up doing what I do now!
