It started with Knitting, and then moved onto Cross stitch and in recent years has moved more into paper crafting. I get enjoyment from taking a blank card and creating something specific and ultimately giving cards to put smiles on the recipient’s faces. Over the last year I have been asked to make specific cards from friends to pass on to others. This Christmas I have received lots of comments on cards I have sent out, hence my decision to try and make them available to others. I am a mum of two boys and also work part time (which quite often feels like full time !) but my escapism is my card making, and other handmade crafts. I have placed a selection of cards available for sale and also a portfolio of previous cards I have made, these obviously can be recreated if required. I ask one thing - if you do require a special bespoke card for a specific person/or hobby, please give me enough time to create it. They do take time and I do like perfection so some have ended up in the recycling bin before....

But it’s not just card making - in recent years I have made a large number of woollen items - both crocheted (Crochet By Chrissie) and knitted (Knits By Krissie), plus vinyl designs on items such as mugs. I am also a volunteer for Octopus For A Preemie, making crocheted Octopus for premature babies. My local hospital needs 70, (yes seventy !) per month.

I hope you like my card selection whether you’re buying or just browsing for ideas.....it’s free to look.

I'm working on four different crochet pieces at the minute (variety always works well with me 🤣).

Working on two big projects , a Christmas Post Box Topper, an aran blanket on the go, and two smaller projects, a birthday gift and some autumnal bunting.

This one's the bunting work in progress, the pieces are small so ideal if you have to sit and wait anywhere, your be surprised how quick it is to make each piece, my crochet goes with me everywhere, you never know when you can hook those extra stitches 😀

I'm using the Pastel box set of the New Cotton Tiny Friends range from Hobbycraft. I'm also using the free pattern resource from the Hobbycraft ideas section on their website - I'm using the leaf, toadstool and acorns from this wreath design.

A special wedding card request, with a twist on my usual car card - this time a tractor was required.

Belated congrats to John & Alisha as they tied the knot recently, I really had fun creating this card, personalised and definitely unique.

I think Santa needs a bigger belt 🤔

Another Christmas make, pattern designed as a doorstop , I used thinner yarn so just a nice weighted Santa decoration this time.

He's been looking at me for a week all pinned up - I hate the sewing up bit of a design - I need to learn to do it as I go along.

Today was the day , the great sew together day, as I've already started the next crochet project and I cant keep accumulating pinned unfinished projects (UFO's) 🤣

Hope you like my rounded 🎅 Ho Ho Ho
