“Timeless handmade creations with down to earth charm.”
Here are some things just listed by other crafters and sellers on Folksy.
Hello! I’m Pete, better known as "the man in the hat." I'm 75 years young.
Due to extensive home renovations, my shop will remain closed until August, when I hope to get my workroom back.
Several years ago, life threw me a plot twist I wasn’t expecting. An industrial accident left me with a spinal injury, and the doctors solemnly declared, “You’ll never walk again.” Well, I wasn’t having that!
I proved them wrong with sheer determination (and a little stubbornness). Though I’m not exactly sprinting marathons, I manage to shuffle about—albeit with a few creaks and groans.
Since returning to work wasn’t an option, I needed something to keep me occupied (and to stop me from getting under my wife’s feet). That’s when I discovered crafting. My wife has always loved earrings, so I thought, why not try making them myself?
One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was creating jewellery, greeting cards, stickers, and vinyl projects. Turns out, crafting is quite addictive!
The added annoyance of diabetes has resulted in neuropathy in my right hand, which does make creating delicate products difficult, but you know the old saying. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Every piece I create is a labour of love—though my spinal injury and neuropathy do their best to keep things interesting. My work is more than handmade items; it’s a mix of resilience and creativity, plus a dash of mischief.
Sp, please, have a browse! Every purchase helps keep me busy and gives me a sense of purpose, and—most importantly—stops me from accidentally reorganising the kitchen just to see my wife’s reaction.
(Let’s just say the experiment didn’t go down too well.)
