Hand made in Nottingham
WHO AM I?
My name is Karen - I am a crafting addict!
It all began back in 2013 when I'd had my fill of working for others and had lots of time to fill.
I have always been pretty practical with my hands, but never considered the crafting angle before.
I was merrily winging my way one day wasting time on Google, when I came across something called "Book Folding". Great, I thought - I love that effect!
So I had a go - talk about time consuming! Whilst they looked beautiful, there was no way I had the patience for it.
​
So I did a bit more Googling, and came across paper cutting.
I was hooked!
I had all sorts of ideas of things I wanted to do, but sadly most haven't yet come to fruition as they are big projects!
​
Once I had done one paper cut, I had friends and relations asking if I could do one for them.
And from the small seeds dear people, comes this site.
​
I'm the type of person who masters something and then gets bored easily, so the paper cutting led on to producing T-shirts, bunting with messages on, mugs, engraved glasses, pyrography (the ancient art of burning wood by hand with a heated pen), decal designing, wood carving, scroll sawing, candle and wax melt making, resin items and many variations along the way.
​
I'm still happy to design and produce any of the above should people request them, so feel free to send me your ideas and requests.
​
Outside of crafting, I'm married with two big, grown up kids and live in Nottingham, UK. and for my sins, I'm also a Notts County supporter with geeky tendencies.
​
If you have read my ramblings thus far, you have done very well, and I thank you.
​
Best wishes,
Karen
