Brooches, magnets, jewellery, plushies.. anything I can make with wire, felt & fabric.

I'd been making jewellery as a hobby for about 6 months before I spotted an Etsy ad in Craft magazine. I had a look at the site, fell in love with it, & decided to start my shop!

I think that my shop is really bright & tactile with childlike qualities.

Flickr, the weather, blogging,looking around craft stalls. My family is inspirational to me.

The Raindrops Wall Hanging. It's part applique, part embroidery. I enjoyed taking a dismal element of England (the weather!) & making it fun & cute.
