CRAFTY NEW PREMISES






Crafty has found a new home!! We have moved from Blofield to Acle, Norwich. I am really happy to annouce that after working with Artwaves Ink at Norwich Day Services, we are now going to be supporting the artists from the group by stocking a collection of artwork for sale.






Crafty is now stocking a range of sewing and embelllishing machines with free demonstrations..........no excuses not to "HAVE A GO"!



The Crafty tree is brimming with gorgeous local handmade goodies. Cosy knit and crochet, by Raine Dancer.
I am working on my new collection of jewellery and cufflinks...........watch this space!
Ciao for now xx Kelly

upcycled plastic bag wedding dress!




As a virgin blogger i felt it rather fitting that my first blog should be about a Wedding Dress.

After a lot of talking, I finally made it! A wedding dress made from rubbish.......bubble wrap, plastic bags, wallpaper, foil, free motion machine embroidery and a LOT of patience!!

A big THANK YOU to all who helped, KERRY, LAURAINE, ANGLELA, JANE, JAKE, ELLIS, BETHANY AND LAUREN.

The dress was displayed at the Norwich Bead and Textiles fair last Sunday at the John Innes Centre, and I am glad to say was admired by many!

I am very inspired to create more outfits from "rubbish", the next one from bottle tops.......... :)
