How it all began
My love for Macrame started out just as an interest in pot plant hangers for our new extension and renovated bathroom. This turned into a curiosity and appreciation for the work behind the pieces I had seen. Facebook is great for many things, and one of those things is knowing what it is your wanting right then and there... cue, an advert for a Macrame workshop in my local area. It must be fate.
I was very quickly hooked to the art of tying knots and was eager to learn as many as I could. I had a lot of fun making pieces for my home, plant hangers, wall hangings and a mobile for my daughters bedroom. With encouragement from family and friends and a few requests for orders, I found myself completely carried away and a little obsessed. The orders for rope and string started to come in and I just couldn't get enough of the different textures and colours. So I ordered more!
So before my home was completely over run with wall hangings, I thought it was time I started sharing. My journey has since taken me to find a love of weaving and hand spinning my own yarn, something I never thought I would say. My business has also expanded to include all of my favorite macrame and weaving supplies.
Now when i'm not playing with my kids or doing the usual boring adult stuff like housework, I can be found wither at my Macrame stand, loom or spinning wheel. There is nothing better then creating something new, and for someone else.
