I hand make unique Crafted Gifts - Crocheted - Sewn - Jewellery - Home Decor

I am thankfully retired after working for most of my working years in various roles mainly around supporting families.

I am also very lucky to have had a wonderful kind and caring mother (Mary) who was very creative and talented. Mum would keep me and my siblings in fashion with home made clothes. She would also make and recycle things around the home too.

I grew up mainly with a sewing machine in the sitting room and my mum would be dress making and doing alterations for her local community. Mum taught me to sew, crochet, knit and so much more. I no longer have my beautiful mum with me in person but I feel that part of her soul is within me or very close at all times. I have her over-locker and her sewing machine, which she gave me, and it is when I am creating, sewing or crocheting that I feel she is with me and continuing to encourage and inspire me.

The Gold Heart Painting shown above is one of my painting creations, and this shop will eventually be filled with all my eclectic collection of creations and designs, including Paintings, Hats, Bags, Cushion Covers, Clay and Pottery bits. I will stop there as I do not know where the list will end. I know that most shops will focus on one type of craft, but I cannot decide which craft is my favourite as I enjoy it all, and so I hope to share it all with you. I do not profess to be a master at any of my craft, but everything I do make is made with joy.

I am truly blessed and thank my Mum every day for my creative skills and my no waste values. I have a messy craft room filled with lots of things waiting to be recycled or made, including vintage fabrics, yarns, plastic tubs to use for mixing paints and glues etc. If you are a crafter you will know what I mean and yes my craft room is full and messy but I love it.

Thank you mum for making me who I am and I hope I can measure up to your kindness and talent. I will certainly try.

I hope you love my makes as much as I enjoy making them.
