Published on 3 February 2020 By Holly Butteriss 3 min readThe LoveCrafts Show is back, bigger and better than before! This time with a super special guest who we’re just dying for you to meet. Sit back, relax, grab your WIP and settle in for a good old catch up with Uncle X and Merino!

This month we introduce you to the delightful Debbie Bliss, in all her fabulous glory! Merion and Jamie look back on Debbie’s 40+ years in the industry and everything she’s learnt about being a maker!
The LoveCrafts Show also chatted about sharing the love not just one day a year, but every day of the year (Oh Jamie you old romantic!) and with those you love romantically and platonically, hello Galentine’s day! Find out how we’re celebrating, and what’s coming up next in the beautiful world of Debbie Bliss. With plenty of #BlissBantz thrown in!
