I have been an avid knitter, crocheter, seamstress, crafter all my life and can't do with out my "sheer bliss" of knitting, sewing and just having fun being creative. I grew up in England, Great Britain where my Nan and Mum always knit, and on my insistence, taught me to knit, sew and crochet. My creativity never left me and so, I went to art school in England, and after graduating, I worked in the Graphic Design field for many years, in London, England and then later in Los Angeles, California and now my family and I live in Wimberley, Texas.

I love fabrics, yarn, textiles and everything vintage. When I walk into a yarn shop or fabric shop, I actually get butterflies and goosebumps because I am so excited about all the colors and textures and my mind buzzes with ideas on what to create with all these goodies.

I am always on the look out for vintage items to decorate our home with, I love to have vintage fabrics, trims, yarns and patterns around me. I am very lucky to live in Wimberley, Texas which has a treasury of vintage stores and beautiful countryside for inspiration.

My studio, is my sanctuary, full of modern, top of the line, high tech industrial sewing machine(s), irons, pressing machines, industrial rotary cutters, materials, computers. I only use the best fabrics, industrial thread and materials for all the knitshearbliss items. But I still have my vintage items around me, which I love for inspiration and decor. When I do take a break. My knitting and current books I'm reading are near my studio comfy chair, which is covered in a modern quilt I made, and patchwork cushions. My eclectic music plays softly in the background and the British BBC Radio, music and classic book dramas are heard through the internet to set the mood. When I look up from my sewing machine, through the window, I see the trees, the deer, birds and their songs and squirrels collecting food. It is quite breathtaking.

I have been a buyer on Etsy for years, and still do support Etsy Sellers. I began to sell my Handmade Knitting Bags, (that I use daily for my own projects) on the encouragement of my friends and family. My store expanded from Project Bags and and now I create Knitting and Crochet accessories I hope you like them.

All items are made in a non smoking (vintage style) studio, from start to finish by me, and me alone, I sew every single day and I really, do, LOVE it!!!
