Handmade Store: Diamond Lil

" I have always been amazed by imagination and creativity, of time and dedication people put into making and creating things. My grandmother told me stories of how during the war she would salvage offcuts from the factories that made parachutes out of silk and made corsages for herself and friends to wear at nights out at the dancehall. She knitted me socks and scarves. This had such an impact on me that when I became a teenager and the "Punk" scene made an appearance, not having much money, I recycled clothes to make my own fashionable wardrobe of unique clothes.
Then when married and my children came into the world, I made cot blankets, hats and toys for them. I created my own art work for my walls. It didn't take long for friends and family to ask if I could make things for them, create bespoke wall art, pictures. I have even designed my friends tattoo!!!
Over time I realised the sort of things I enjoyed making and continue to do this today. All my items are original, my Art is signed, free hand drawn so each item is different. My craft goods and toys are never rushed, care is taken with each one. Made in a smoke and pet free environment. I am more than happy to assist in creating and making bespoke gifts or to supply one of my own creations to you, just send your request and we will work together to create something special just for you.
I hope you enjoyed your visit today, its been lovely to see you and don't forget to pop in again next time you are passing !
