Maker's Story: My name is Rachel and I adore all things colourful and crochet! I was
introduced to the world of crafts by my gorgeous grandparents, Daisy and
Arthur, with whom I spent many glorious hours as a child, hanging out
in Granddad's woodwork shed or being patiently taught crochet and
embroidery by Gran.
Having grown up, I forgot about my crochet hook and went on to work in the world of finance. However, becoming increasingly disillusioned with never ending targets and deadlines, I felt a renewed need to get creative once again. So, having hit 40, I decided to take the plunge and do something I love for a change.
It gives me immense satisfaction to create something special and unique out of a simple ball of wool, a few buttons and beads; I put my heart into each and every piece. I hope this shines through. I also adore the idea of giving a contemporary twist to a vintage craft.
My aim is to create beautiful and unique quality items with care and attention to detail, which help turn your house into a home. My daughter recently commented that she believes our whole house will be covered in crochet within ten years! I wouldn't mind if it were, but it did prompt me to think that I should probably find an outlet for my crochet addiction!
