Handmade gifts for home & family

Hi, I am married mum to five (three older chicks have flown the nest), with over 25 years of needlework and knitting experience. My craft work is towards making the best of whatever good material I can find and all my work is done with a lot of care and attention to detail. I enjoy my work and hope that this will be evident in the items that I make. I work at home, we have one cat, which doesn't go near the craft items and this is a non-smoking house.

Environmental & Ethical Aspects
I have a keen interest in permaculture and try wherever possible to implement the three main principles of
Earth Share, People Care and Fair Share in my business practice.
To this end:-
I am the sole earner in the family;
I support local businesses as much as I can when purchasing needlework and sewing supplies;
I intend to use upcycled materials in projects as well as sourcing reasonably priced organic materials.
Since I work from home, I apply my principles here for energy use also. My electricity is from 100% renewable sources and is sourced from one of the small ethical suppliers.
Energy efficiency measures include low energy lighting throughout, switching off unused appliances and wearing a pullover rather than turning up the heating.
We use environmentally responsible, paper-based, packaging for all our products wherever possible. These are either re-usable, re-cycle able or compostable.
