Well, Hello There – A Little Welcome from Me!

If you’ve stumbled across this little corner of the internet, hi! And welcome. Pull up a chair, pop the kettle on, and make yourself at home — because I’d love to introduce myself properly.

I'm the hands (and sometimes clay-covered fingernails) behind this shop, where you'll find a mix of greetings cards, polymer clay creations, crochet patterns, and more crafty goodness. It all started nearly nine years ago with a simple love for making cards — handmade, thoughtful, and full of heart. What began with cardstock and glitter soon grew into something so much more.

Turns out, once you catch the creative bug… it’s pretty hard to stop.

From Cards to Clay (and Everything in Between)

Over the years, my creative curiosity has led me down new, slightly messy paths — think colourful scraps of yarn, the satisfying squish of air-dry clay, and a desk that often looks like a rainbow exploded on it. (Don’t worry — I usually clean up before packaging your orders.)

These days, I not only still design and sell my signature greetings cards (can’t give up my first love!), but I also handcraft a range of playful and practical items like:

• Polymer clay earrings, pin badges, brooches & stitch markers
• Keyrings and trinket dishes (because keys and rings need cute homes too)
• Downloadable crochet patterns for fellow fibre art fans

Whether it’s a quirky brooch to jazz up your denim jacket or a punny birthday card that actually makes someone laugh out loud, I create every piece with care, a sense of humour, and a big splash of colour.

Who I Make For (AKA: Probably You!)

If you're someone who:

• Buys handmade gifts on purpose
• Can’t resist browsing craft markets “just for a look” (and leaving with three bags)
• Loves a good yarn (both crochet and chat-wise)
• Finds joy in little things like stitch markers shaped like cats…

Then you are absolutely in the right place.

I make for people who appreciate the time, heart, and slightly wonky fingerprints that come with handmade things. My customers are often women aged 20–50 who are creative, curious, and looking for something a bit different — something with a story behind it.

What You Can Expect Here on the Blog

This blog will be my way of sharing a bit more behind the scenes, like:

• Sneak peeks at new product drops
• Crochet pattern tips & inspiration
• Stories about what goes right (and hilariously wrong) in the studio
• Creative advice if you’re a fellow maker or just clay-curious
• And maybe even the odd recipe or playlist, if we’re getting cosy

If you’re here to shop, amazing — thank you. If you’re here to be inspired, brilliant. And if you’re here because you clicked something accidentally… well, you might as well stay for a bit.

Final Thoughts (Before I Let You Go)

Running a handmade business is a bit like crochet itself — one loop at a time, often tangled, sometimes dropped, but always made with intention and love. I'm so glad you're here. Whether you’re a customer, a crafter, or just someone who enjoys a well-made trinket dish, I hope you’ll stick around.

And hey — if you want to be the first to know about new creations, pattern releases, or the occasional creative ramble, make sure to sign up for my newsletter. I promise not to spam… unless it’s the glittery kind. ✨
