During this current lockdown I am remaining open but please allow a little extra time for postage of your items

Here at the DecoCraft Shop we would like to think we can help you connect with your loved ones. All of the items in my shop are hand made by myself. I love upcycling wooden picture frames and decoupaging them in pretty rice papers. What could be nicer than to send a token of your affection in the form of one of my frames containing a photo or picture that resonates with your loved one.

I have also recently purchased a sewing machine and have been having a go at small quilting projects which are slowing being added to the shop.

My coasters and bookmarks make ideal gifts that are so different to anything you will see in the shops.

How about a delightful novelty pincushion for the keen seamstress you haven't seen for some time.

Maybe just a greeting card or print to remind them of you and your feelings for them.

Browse through my shop and I'm sure you will find something suitable to reinforce your relationships.

All of my items will be posted out using 1st Class postage.

Thank you and keep safe.

Unique decoupaged, recycled gifts and small quilting projects made by myself for you and your loved ones.

Firstly, I want to thank you for taking an interest in my shop and my hand made products.

My name is Carol and I live in Lowestoft, Suffolk having returned to the UK from Spain in 2016. I moved to Spain with my (then) new partner, Colin, and lived there for 14 years. Colin and | got married whilst we were in Spain, having two weddings, an unofficial one local to where we lived and the official one in Gibraltar. We enjoyed our time in Spain and life in the sun. Before moving back to the UK we spent a couple of years half way up a mountain with fantastic views over Almond Groves and valleys. From our terrace we could see the lights of Murcia at night, approximately 30 kilometres away.

One of the best things we got involved in whilst living in Spain was volunteering for a local small dog rescue charity. I always wanted a dog but Colin was not bothered, I then saw an advert asking for volunteers to foster dogs who were waiting to find their forever homes. We ended up fostering about 6 dogs altogether until Colin (yes Colin) decided he wanted to keep the last little boy we had. So our little Lonnie was adopted and came back with us to the UK.

Since returning to the UK I decided I would have a go at crafting and have tried various options, Crochet, Knitting, Resin work, etc. but didn't really take to any of them. Then in January this year I set myself a challenge of learning a new crafting skill.and picked on Decoupage. I am really enjoying this aspect of crafting and love making coasters or up-cycling picture frames.

In October 2020 I decided to invest in a sewing machine. Something I have not used for over 30 years. My aim was to teach myself quilting and develop a range of small quilted items ideal as personal gifts to compliment my other hand crafted products. These are now joining the range in my shop here.
