We recently catch up guest, Sue Baker, to learn more about her love for craft and to find out where she gets her inspiration from.
What is your background?
After finishing at Drama School I started working on theatre set design. From learning how to screen print wallpaper and fabric to designing furniture and accessories, it was just a short step to interiors and home décor.
I was also lucky enough to join Harvey Baker and his design company and began producing products for TV Makeover programmes such as Changing Rooms and Home Front.

Hello to you and hello to the month of May!
As always I've been very busy behind the scenes here at QVC, a big part of my job involves making videos for the QVC website and previewing new products or ranges.
There's a lot coming up over the next few months, so I wanted to sit down and tell you about some of the things that you can look out for in May.
Firstly I wanted to mention our brand new Beauty Pick of the Month, it's the Ultrasun Face SPF 50 in a larger 100ml size!
As you can see in the picture I've built up a nice little collection of Ultrasun products, a mixture of SPF 50 and SPF 30.
I love the Ultrasun range, I apply in the morning and then I'm good to go for the day. If I'm away skiing and the sun is particularly strong, I may touch-up my forehead and nose during lunch but that's it!
I generally only use SPF 50 on my face, so the Pick of the Month is perfect for me. On the rest of my body I normally use SPF 30, however last year I tried the Sports 20 whilst running outside here in the UK, if you're a guy with hairy legs it's brilliant!

Last Sunday, the QVC Team - Bryony and Arietta - took to the streets of London along with 36,000 others to run 26.2 miles for charity! The challenge was set at the end of January and training kicked off immediately, despite the often minus temperatures, rain and snow!
But thanks to the amazing support of the crowds and the Breast Cancer Care team, they both completed the marathon and have raised over £2,000 for the charity. If you would like to donate to the cause, you can find their donation page here.
Here's what they had to say about the event:

We have a very exciting Thompson & Morgan Today's Special Value coming up on Monday 22nd April, so we caught up with garden expert Matt Biggs to give us some insider info on this special new plant...
Once in a while an exciting new plant appears, something different, dramatic and totally unexpected, that has gardeners buzzing with delight! This was the reaction when Digitalis ‘Illumination’ was introduced - this outstanding plant captured everyone's imagination and gained a prestigious Plant of the Year award at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012.
It is the result of the genius of Thompson & Morgan’s plant breeding expert, Charles Valin. He brought together two parent plants everyone thought it impossible to breed; our native, purple, ‘Foxglove’ and rich orange Digitalis canariensis, its exotic relative from the Canary Islands, to produced these extraordinary, must have beauties for every garden.

Hi all, Gill here!
I think that spring may be here at last, thank goodness. Whether you have patch of grass or a well manicured lawn, we all like to picnic outdoors.
All the better on a sunny day when there is not a cloud in the sky, just sitting in our own garden , enjoying the moment, relaxing and admiring our surroundings... ahhh bliss.
Outdoor entertaining has now reached new and dizzy heights. I for one love using my small but neat garden as another room.
