Welcome to my new Crafty Home.......

It's lovely seeing, and joining old friends.....anyone you recognize :)

One cheeky chap....and me with mega tan!!  I had been away, it wasn't distress ink...

Another cheeky chap, and some lovely ladies

Owww, now there's 2 chaps off this photo who I will be joining again, the lovely Ben and Ollie

That cheeky chap again, and our wonderful Anne will be there

Him again....

yep, him....AGAIN!!  Our Adam,, how young we looked.

This was such a good weekend, Barbara and Sue - very excited to be doing their shows again

Our crafty Ben

Aww, the lovely Hayley.  We're going to be dressing room buddies!!  How fab is that.

There are so many more familiar faces who I will be joining....have you guessed yet?

Of course you have, I'm off to HOCHANDA!!  

Very excited.  Very nervous.

I have been watching from the beginning - literally the launch show.  I've really enjoyed seeing how Hochanda have grown and developed, and managed to do so much in such a short space of time.  They have had blips, but for a brand new TV channel, this was to be expected - yet they have come on leaps and bounds.  I have been keeping my eye on the feedback they have been getting, and people seem really happy that the guests are having the time to demo properly, which is reassuring, as this was just  one of the many reasons I decided to join Hochanda.  

I'm really looking forward to a brand new challenge, and the team are so enthusiastic and eager to make it a success.  It's so exciting to be part of something which is so new.  I know there's so much in store, which makes it feel like an incredible opportunity.

Of course, personally, I'm delighted that I'll be regaining my creative freedom.  I will be doing a weekly 2 hour show, which I will be selecting the products to play with.....work with, sorry, work :). This will be called Let Leonie Loose!  haha.   I'll be guesting - and crafting!  Yeah, back to mucky fingers. I will also be working on my own product range, which is sooo exciting/nerve wracking/incredible.  I can now attend, and demonstrate, at craft shows again - Ally Pally here we come!  As if all that wasn't enough, I'm allowed to do my workshops again as well - even attending and supporting craft shops!  How cool is that.  

Thank you all for putting up with the secret squirreling - sorry it had to be that way, but it does feel as though time has sped on by!  I hope you will be able to join me in my new adventure.  I'll see you on channel:

• SKY 663 (24/7)
 
• FREEVIEW 39 (6AM-9PM)
 
• FREESAT 817 (24/7)
• 
  

I watch on my laptop (yep, I've got Virgin as well), which is nice and easy.

Anyone having a little wager on how many times I say the wrong channel name, or give out the wrong telephone number :) haha.  I won't do that....promise. I've been practicing.

I will be joining you for a walk on at 9am!!  Then, the real work begins with presenting shows at 12pm, 4pm and 7pm.   eeeekkk
