all things JOLLY NICE, hand-made with care

My range now includes beaded jewellery and gifts, fairies and lizards, hand-stitched or knitted and felted bags and corsages, all designed and hand-made at home by me! Gift-cards have also been added to the range of hand crafted greetings cards.

I'm always on the lookout for interesting materials, as happy scouring the small local craft shops as I am trawling the large commercial shows such as Knitting and Stitching, which has become an annual pilgrimmage! I enjoy the challenge of incorporating vintage buttons and beads from broken or otherwise unloved items in charity shops, giving them new life. I also like to recycle old wool jumpers into tactile bags, having recently discovered the benefits of deliberate felting!

In 2008, I followed another childhood passion, gaining an A* GCSE in photography. Since then I have continued my studies via Adult Education, completing the AS level in 2009, and was over the moon to gain an A* for this year's A2! I am now exploring ways of incorporating my photography using mixed media techniques within my craft work.
