Hi, I'm Kirsty - a Sunderland lass who's been living in Derby for 20+ years.
I started making things as a form of pain relief (I know it sounds weird, but stay with me).

I have fibromyalgia and chronic pain in my joints, and I find that making things keeps my mind focused on something and can sometimes help me feel better about myself. 
Drawing has always been something I've enjoyed, but I'm also an avid crocheter and cross-stitcher.  I'm never far away from a project, or five! 

I also love DnD - which should come as no surprise given what I sell!

Who are Fidget and Bobby?

Fidget was a little albino rat my husband and I adopted eons ago; the first of many. She was our heart rat, and we were inseparable until she passed at a grand old age of two and a half.

Bobby was one of the holders of our hearts, alongside Dee. They took the form of Staffordshire Bull Terriers and are, without question, the softest and most affectionate dogs I have ever known. Bobby always wanted a cuddle and slept with his face buried in my armpit while I watched TV. 
Dee loves leaning on people and licking everything. She's still my crafting companion, watching over me while I work. Both would do just about anything for a snack.

Fidget and Bobby may both be gone now, but they'll always be at the heart of what I do. Their names live on here because they brought so much love, joy, and comfort into our lives.

Me, my husband, and Dee all live happily together in Derbyshire.

My husband will also do anything for a snack.
