The perfect quote to sum me up is "I just want to make beautiful things..."
In my first memory of my best friend, we were about 3 years old and sitting underneath a table together at a craft show that my Mum was hosting in our family home.
From that day forward, a lot of my childhood memories revolve around hanging out at craft shows, meeting my Mum at her craft shop, digging through her buttons and from a very young age, developing my own vocabulary about how certain fabrics feel. I learnt almost everything that I know through watching my Mum, despite not really sitting down with her and learning in any formal way.
So, I have always created..! When my kids come home from school saying that they have to dress up as a character from a book or a Victorian school child, my first thought goes to what fabric I already have and what I will need to buy. I was even crazy enough one year to hand make all of our Christmas presents (and I do mean ALL)...!
I am, however, an anomaly. I am also a massive geek (and completely proud of it!). For 14 years, I worked on a career in data analysis - writing code every day and presenting data in a way that made it easy to understand. In 2014, I made the decision to step away from the 9-5 in order to focus on my creativity and my family.
Bumblebee Lane Crafts was born. Your place to buy handmade gifts and items for your home. Corny as it sounds, every item is really stitched with love. It was a big step to take, but I haven't looked back. I REALLY love being able to come home and sit in front of my sewing machine and create items that I know will put a smile on someone's face.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the items that I have listed. I also absolutely love a challenge – some of my favourite products have started with a query from a customer. If you have an idea of something that you would like me to make, or if you love what you see but would like it in a different fabric, please drop me a message and together,... show more
we can come up with something perfect!
