With a lot of encouragement, 🙈 I’ve decided to finally stop being shy and put my digital art on my Etsy shop for download.
I struggle with never feeling ‘quite good enough’ but have spent the last 12 months building my confidence ☺️

These are digital downloads only. At some point I hope to use my own designs to create fantastic items such as mugs, tumblers and tote bags and greetings cards.
While I understand digital downloads are unlikely to be something my page followers will want to purchase I hope you still enjoy me sharing my designs with you while I work on that next step.

Hopefully I’ll have a few more digital greeting cards (including a few freebies) on soon that are really easy to download and print on a4 card for anyone with a printer to do.

Here’s a small portion of what I’ve been working on while I’ve been so quiet on here 🥰

I definatly want to take part next year 😆🎄 if you know of any local Christmas fayre’s feel free to pop the details in the comments. ☺️

Day 3 of is a shout-out to all the independent sellers I love. 😆🙌 Firstly my favourate local shop is .sandra in stalybridge. I get most of my yarn there, it’s a great little shop. If you can’t find it they’ll order it and always full of help and advice if your struggling. I also love and both great shops for Christmas gifts. 😆 For anyone looking for a logo I highly recommend which is where my little elf logo is from. And finally if any of my fellow knitters are looking for pom poms try . Hands down the best pom poms ever 😆

day 2 what’s justacard mean to me? . Everybody complains about the lack of high street shops, but don’t shop there. The campaign is simple. Use it or lose it! It started with a quote from an independent gallery owner who had to close. If everyone who said how great her gallery was bought just a card, she’d still be in business. Since I last joined in with indie week I’ve made it my mission to look for what I need locally before buying online. I’m not perfect, but I’m at least trying. Once again this year I’m making sure most of my Xmas presents are bought from independent sellers. I’ve replaced cheep tat stocking fillers with something handmade. I’ll be honest, last year everyone got a scrubby wether they wanted it or not 🙈😂 hopefully they found it useful and bonus there environmentally friendly 😆

It’s and once again I’m taking part. I’ll be showing you some of my ready to post items I have for sale and telling you why I think you should shop independent this Christmas ☺️🎄today’s prompt is all about me, so I thought I’d tell you some things that you might not know 😆 #1 if you don’t find me in my craft room (aka any where in the house 😂) I’m probably at the beach. I love beachcombing with my cousin Clare especially on the of England. #2 I often get my youngest cousin to model my wares by offering her freebies, she’s also a star at sharing and liking my post. #3 I have the most supportive family and friends #4 my aunties dog ‘colin’ has been the inspiration for a future range of cards called ‘colin the dog’ he’s a french bulldog, a pain in the backside and always has something stuck to his tongue. Maybe l should pay her royalties 😂 #5 this year I taught myself to crochet and I’m constantly surprised that I’m actually good at it #6 I love each and every hat and scarf set that I make but don’t actually have a matching set myself #7 I’m finally getting a craft room and can’t wait although I’ll be sharing it with my husband 😩 #8 I’m obsessed with Harry Potter and identify as a Slytherin, we’re such a misunderstood house 🐍 #9 I love Christmas and can’t wait to get my tree up #10 the Crafty Elf Store is coming up to its second birthday in January and I think I’ve finally found my groove. I took a few months break this year to decide what I want to do and how I want to do it, and now I’m back with bigger and better ideas and more excited then ever 🥳
