Episode 40 – Sarnia Cherie | This bumper episode of the iMake podcast is a feast of crafty, and indeed musical, goodness. In this show we dig out our sewing machines and gardening tools (tying not to get the 2 mixed up). We celebrate Guernsey's Liberation Day and consider ways to combat 'inspiration overload' over a cup of coffee. Friends of the show, Kate and Charles, also put in an appearance. So grab a work in progress, a glass of Pimms and join me for a crafty catch up. | 8 5 12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 39: Something a Bit Different | You'll hopefully know by now that I am taking part in the Third Annual Knitting and Crochet Blog Week. This bonus podcast episode is my day 5 post. It's 'a bit different' for a number of reasons, but you'll have to listen to the show to find out why. As well as some chat about blog week, I'll also feature some audio recorded during my recent visit to London to see the lovely Kate (aka KatesTwirl). I should warn listeners in advance that there is a lot of swooning over yarn and a fair bit of giggling! In an attempt to be serious, I will also try and comment on Guernsey's recent election. I hope you enjoy this bonus episode and I will aim to get another online at the beginning of May.

Episode 30 – Universal Craft | This bumper episode explores ideas for 'man crafts' and concludes that there is really no such thing! Craft shouldn't be gender stereotyped. Craft is for all - it's universal. Charles is a guest on the show and we make Christmas cake soap and share crafty ideas. Charles is in charge of the Guernsey section of the show and it's all about dolmens. There is also a special offer for all podcast listeners and blog readers.

Episode 27 – Charles in Charge | In this episode I am joined by a guest co-host - the lovely Charles. Most of this episode's content has been driven by Charles, hence the title 'Charles in Charge!' (Before you ask, no, it isn't an homage to the 80s American sitcom featuring Diagnosis Murder star, Scott Baio... although that is a thought for another episode...!) We chat about my recent creative exploits as well as Charles's recent culinary exploits, as he is known for being quite a foodie. We'll share recipes and cooking tips, as well as a food orientated Guernsey segment, with 'a twist'. Bon appetit. | 13 8 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 13 – Sock Snippets | Welcome to episode 13 of the iMake podcast. This isn't a typical podcast episode - it's a mini episode entirely about my recent Stitch n' Bitch Knit-Along ('KAL'). Our KAL project was a toe-up sock. This episode contains audio recorded on the evening of the KAL. If you are a brand new iMake podcast listener please can I suggest you download some of my earlier episodes as this one isn't in the usual format, so you really won't get a feel for what the podcast is usually like.

I attended a scrapbooking workshop run by the ladies from Scrapagogo, called 'GoGo Take Shape'. I had a fantastic time and in just one day I made an exciting project and 4 new layouts. I learned lots of new techniques. A fantastic day was topped off by a great night out with the girls 'on the town' in Jersey, followed by a luxurious manicure at our hotel the following day (The Royal Yacht - without a doubt Jersey's swankiest hotel). | 2 10 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Episode 4 – Stitch n’ Bitch Snippets | Episode 4 already. Time flies when you are having fun. This is really just an experimental mini episode. I took the voice recorder (my iPad) to the iMake Stitch n Bitch at The Market Kitchen last week and recorded some interviews. I must state at this stage that I am no Michael Parkinson or Jonathan Ross, my interviewing skills are severely lacking. I also didn't realise quite how frequently I say the words 'actually' and 'fantastic'. I promise that I will get better - practice makes perfect (or so they say). | 27 9 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
iMake... iLove
A really gentle journey through the craft world with a really personal insight into life in Guernsey from a host who makes you feel like she's sitting next you on a comfy settee. Have a listen!
Excellent company to your crafting
The calm and conversational tone of this podcast is just lovely. I'm a knitter, but I like the mixed nature of this podcast. However I fear that I may end up with another craft or two in my life as a result! It's also a lovely insight into Guernsey life. Try it out!

Fabulous podcast
