Exciting news for KarenBeeCrafts!!

I have joined some other fabulous crafters at 2bu Studio Arts, Crafts and Wellbeing located at Carr Grange Business Centre in Doncaster (Unit 25C, White Rose Way, DN4 5GY). I have been welcomed by the proprietor, Gemma Tasker. My craft shelves are now stocked with handmade goodies including many items made from up cycled denim.

Please check out Gemma's FB page at 2bu Studio. There are open craft sessions and workshops, monthly craft fairs and "Clear out the Warehouse" events. Her goals for creativity, well-being and supporting the local community are second to none. Their shop is absolutely well worth a visit too!

KarenBeeCrafts at Castlegate Cards Tickhill

I've stocked up my shelves again today with some lovely handmade goodies using "up cycled" denim. These include a couple of handbags, denim covered notebooks and a pair of matching cushions.

It starts with a pair of unwanted jeans. I use as much as I can to create these items and I am usually left with no more than what you can see in the last photo below 😀

Castlegate Cards & Gifts is well worth a visit. There is an amazing array of unique handmade gifts from wonderful crafters along with a fabulous selection of greetings cards for every occasion.
