Handmade Store: The Blackbird Cottage

I create a variety of items in fabric, from quilts to doorstops and pincushions and everything in-between. Playing with colour and pattern can lead to some very wonderful designs!
I also collect antique chocolate molds and create vintage-style chalkware figures from these molds. These can be simply painted or embellished to create little vignettes for display year-round.
Recently, punchneedle became a new passion of mine. I am having great fun in coming up with new designs and making them for others to enjoy.
I am a fairly-young widowed mother of one daughter, in the process of re-inventing my life. So far, it has been an exciting journey and I look forward to the future.
