I was delighted to be chosen as an #SBS winner by Theo Paphitis on 24th February 2020 for my handmade crocheted blankets.
I have been making crocheted blankets for babies and grown-ups since 2013. Although mainly bought as gifts for friends and family (and some very pampered pets), my snuggly blankets have made the perfect accessory and keepsake.
If you’re looking for a unique blanket, or throw, as a special gift for yourself, someone you love, or for a baby celebration, you will find the perfect present here.
When I crochet something, it’s a part of me. When I’ve finished a blanket, I feel proud because I’ve created it. When you buy a blanket from me, you are not receiving a gift that is manufactured, every stitch is unique!
Crocheted with love,
