For as long as I can remember I always had a love of fibre arts. My mother was a knitter, my friends mother did macramé and a family friend did cross stitch and embroidery. I was so fascinated by the motions of the hands and suddenly something beautiful came to life.
I wanted to learn to knit, but my mother did not have the patience to teach me so she gave me a crochet hook and a bit of yarn, showed me the chain stitch and I was off! Back then we didn't have the internet to look up different stitches so I was very limited. Then a neighbour helped me one day. She taught me a variety of stitches and from that day I never looked back!
Fast forward to 2016 and my daughter was pregnant with our first grandbaby!! Well that sent me into overdrive, buying yarn and hooks and patterns galore. I made so many things for the baby.
I decided that I wanted to do more and as I did, my family encouraged me to branch out into creating and selling.
I've come along way since that first crochet hook and its been an amazing journey and I can not wait to see where it takes me.
Buying from me means a quality real hand made item. I make every single item in my shop located on the coast of The Lake District and take so much pride in the fact that you have allowed me to create something that could be cherished for years to come.
Thank you for reading, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask and I am always open for commissions.
