A Passionate Self Taught Crafter

During lockdown I looked at different ways to alter my business to adapt to a new way of working. Taking my business online and running workshops from the comfort of my own home didn’t take me long to dismiss as my toddler screams ‘Mummy I need a poo’ at the top of his voice (as does my husband on occasions!). Somehow I’m not sure a live feed or even trying to video some demonstrations would work when juggling a three year old, husband and parrot!

So, as we slowly ease our way out of lockdown I am still unable to open for business, I miss my work with children & families and look forward to getting back to my After School Clubs when it is deemed safe. It’s really tricky doing these things whilst social distancing. In the meantime I have decided to embark on another avenue to fulfil my love of all things crafty.

During lockdown I have made the most of getting out and about locally and taken a leaf out of my toddlers book by collecting everything, or rather beach combing, at Stokes Bay. Picking up a variety of items including driftwood, sea glass and shells. After filling my pockets, boots, jars, kitchen table with all things ‘beachy’ I thought I better do something with it all. I can’t convince my husband the sea glass are tasty new hard boiled sweets forever!

I have dabbled a little with selling my crafts in the past and am passionate about my card making and therefore have decided to design and sell predominately sea glass cards. The cards are simple black ink drawn images using local sea glass as a central embellishment mounted onto a card. All cards are unique as the sea glass varies in size and shape, they can be custom made upon request and personalised. I also have pre-made cards, should you wish to just go ahead and order straight away.

Finally, I have also included in my shop, my treasured hand crafted Button Fascinators that I always wear for my workshops. The are unique and handcrafted from a variety of size, shape and colour buttons, all individually hand sewn onto a base and attached to a metal headband covered in a coloured ribbon.
