I started making and crafting as a way to practice mindfulness and create time for myself in this busy world.
My journey started when I made a bag for a girlfriend as a gift and not before long I was designing and making beach bags and selling them at local markets. My passion and hobby became my work, what a joy!
I began to explore other arts and crafts including jewellery making, embroidery, crochet and macrame. Whilst I love making and creating for markets and my Etsy store, my real passion is inspiring others to get creative and to enjoy the process. I truly believe everybody has a creative side!
