Suzy's Crafts
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2018
Hello, I'm Suzy and I love doing découpage and other crafts. I created this channel to share how to do those crafts with you, and I really hope you enjoy my videos and get something good from them.
A little about me... I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm a mother of two grown up boys and two cats. I grew up surrounded by beautiful antique furnishings, as my mother is an Antique Dealer. I think my love of these beautiful antique items transfers over into my crafts, which often have a vintage or antique aesthetic.
I live with a chronic illness, which can be unpredictable. I don't know how my body will behave day to day. But crafting is something that relaxes me and I can do it whenever I'm feeling up to it! It is a wonderful thing to be creative and make beautiful things!
Other hobbies include, gardening and DIY, when I'm up to it!
Anyway, let's get those creative juices flowing...

Check out my vegetable Patch & how I garden with a bad back and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome 2023
A tour of my vegetable garden where I talk about how I created it to help me garden without pain while living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
I realised after filming that I didn't talk as much as I meant to about how the garden works for me with back problems and body pain. Sometimes when talking on the fly without a script I miss things 😊. The main point to help with back problems is the hight of the beds but also the width. These beds are 1200mm long x 600mm wide x 1000mm high. The hight is perfect for me as it is waist hight and the width not being too wide means I don't have to lean over the bed or reach out towards things. That is a big help too. Basically just having everything within easy reach is important. I get my adult son to do any heavy lifting. Things like moving compost to the beds he does for me. Anyway, I hope this was at least a little helpful and if you'd like to see more let me know. Suzy🍓
