I’ve always had a passion for country crafts and I think their current renaissance is something to celebrate. Sometimes useful, often elegant and always unique, my crafts are created using a wide range of materials from standard brown string and hard-wearing hessian to delicate rose petals and pretty silk ribbon. 

The concept behind my designs is one of simple elegance. I use understated materials to create fresh, uncomplicated designs, based on what I think looks beautiful.

I only started crafting a couple of years ago, but since then my life has been taken over by sewing machines, reels of ribbon, felt squares and countless swatches of material. I have fallen head over heels in love with it. I spend my days dreaming of new designs and my nights sat glued to a sewing machine trying to make them a reality.

All of my designs, from cards to cushions, are entirely my own, born out of my eccentric sense of creativity. I am forever exploring new ideas and new fabrics, searching re-use centres and car boot sales for inspiration.

Everything that I make, I make because I love it and I hope that you do too!
