Carolyn's Crafty Creations - I have been crafting for many years for my own pleasure but now I want to share my crafty creations with you. I work with all types of materials and use many techniques. - I love working with felt, which I use for my sewing accessories – needle cases, scissor holders and decorated tape measures.
I decorate candles, both traditional and battery operated LED candles. Recently I have been capturing fairies, dragons and dinosaurs and putting them into jars which I then make into night lights.
I always have something on my knitting needles, baby booties, hats, gloves, scarves even bags.
Another passion is covering notebooks, using tweeds, cottons and silk then adding embellishments.
I never know what I’ll be doing next, so you are never quite sure what will be on my stall.
