Clever Poppy

I love seeing women realise how the time they spend creating homemade craft projects has a positive effect on their lives. And thereve been a lot of lives touched in the time (over five years now!) that Ive been creating and sharing DIY projects through Clever Poppy.” My whole life Ive been creative and art was my favourite subject in high school.... I really feel in love with DIY projects when we bought our first home, and I saw making home décor as a more affordable and achievable way to inject some style into our home. When we had kids, once again I sunk my teeth into a whole bunch of DIY projects, while I waited for our first baby to arrive. Ive always loved crafting, and have lots of experience myself of turning a DIY project into something full of style that we want to keep in our home. After trying my hand at crazy things like being a corporate lawyer and marketing manager, I realised my real passion lay in the creative fields. So Im beyond happy that I now get to work as a DIY enthusiast as my full time job. Clever Poppy makes it easy to successfully create stylish DIY crafts for your home, friends and family Now I've created the Makers Academy to help you make space every month to create beautiful home décor to keep, gift or sell. As someone with a big craft cupboard, many Pinterest boards and a lot of enthusiasm for creative pursuits, but never managing to finish things; Ive particularly appreciated the accountability of belonging to a group for tips and support and to get the project finished. The timeframes are realistic and having a deadline is just what I need. I didnt expect to have interaction with other members and its been a real highlight; creating something myself but feeling like its alongside other like-minded people. Ive particularly loved the how-to videos as I learn best by watching and doing. As well as the written instructions to refer back to if needed.”Read More
