Hi.
I’m Pip Lincolne. I’m the author of a bunch of books. I have a BA (Creative Writing) and am currently working on my Honours year. Will a PhD be next? Who knows?! I hope so!
I live in Melbourne, Australia – after a Covid year in Tasmania – and spend my work days studying, reading, writing books and writing this blog.
I think about food way too much, love making things, drink too much tea.
Thanks for popping by, you bloody champ.
(Scroll down for proper bio, if you can be bothered!)
Welcome to Pip Lincolne’s blog Meet Me At Mike’s, a sometimes daily dose of happiness and inspiration.
Short professional bio:
Pip Lincolne is a Tasmanian-based writer and crafter. She’s published seven books about mental health, creativity and making things and she would like to write a whole bunch more. She’s Frankie’s craft contributor too! Pip has three kids and a love of toast and tea. Pip likes to make and write every single day.
In 2024, Pip completed her later-in-life degree – a Bachelor of Arts (Creative Writing) – to make her writing ‘official’ and ‘legitimate’ in the eyes of the establishment. LOL.
During the pandemic, Pip took a year away from the mainland and returned home to her birth state of Tasmania. She was diagnosed with myalgic encephalomyelitis in 2020 which has slowed her work life down for now. She is undertaking study at Curtin University – which allows a more flexible approach to workload – while she tries to get better.
In 2016, Pip was part of the activities surrounding Ai Weiwei and Andy Warhol’s exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. She ran five days of kids’ workshops – and helped thousands of families make Wishing Flowers.
Pip was Etsy’s Creative Courage Mentor in 2015 – mentoring hundreds of creatives keen to build or improve their Etsy stores and creative lives.
Pip’s exhibited at Wangaratta Regional Gallery (The PomPom Diaries) and has undertaken a weekend residency and workshops at Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery.
Pip has co-hosted ‘Crafternoons’ with Clare Bowditch on 774ABC (Melbourne radio) several times.
Watch some lo-fi videos of Pip here! See a few press clippings here.

Hi Cathy, they are still making them! But if you look on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/softiesformirabel/ you can see some! x
Thank you Pip! I’m very glad to find you on the web and now I can start my snuggle stitches blanket with the aid of your really clear descriptions! Again thanks and good luck.

Cheers
