As a child before Christmas I could hardly sleep. But it wasn’t dreaming of the teddies and dolls that Father Christmas might leave that kept me awake…. Instead I was over-excited at the thought of the books Santa had found, packed with tantalising pictures of sheep I was going to knit, or the mats I was going to decorate with offcuts of material and wool. It was almost as much of a thrill waiting for my Mum and Dad’s (hopefully delighted) reactions to the finished creations when I presented them with the finished gift. I *think* the reactions were genuine as my Mum, who is now in her 90s, still has some of them proudly displayed. The obsession with crafting stood me in good stead at school where I embarked on a side hustle glass engraving, accompanying my Dad to Craft Fayres where each sale gave me that frisson of excitement. To this day I am a little bit obsessed with creating something out of the ordinary to raise your gift-giving to the “Wow, I love it! Where did you find that?” level! This is the core of who I am and what our little business is all about. I want to give you the joy of finding something unique to give to your loved ones which they will treasure for years to come as a lasting reminder of your love for them.
