Hi All,
I have just joined this new group.
I initially started using crafts as a way to distract from fibromyalgia pain. As I was still working full-time then, I started this business in 2018 at a small artisan market and as a small side gig. It has since grown into more than I hoped it would, with a website etc and I have been working at it more or less full time for about a year. I am now having to scale my business down unfortunately due to health mostly - though I am not closing it down, just slowing down.
What I make has also evolved quite a bit whilst I have been trying to find a happy medium between what I enjoy making and what sells.
I am mostly very much into heritage crafts, I love buttons and their history, and haberdashery. Nowadays, I mostly make Dorset buttons, needlecases or needlebooks, pincushions and other pieces of haberdashery.
