Welcome

Welcome to my Blog.
I have a passion for textiles and jewellery and this comes together in the form of crochet - usually freeform, exciting and experimental. I hope to be able to show that crochet today is not just doily's and dishcloths and that even the Granny Square can be modern and exciting . I hope I can inspire you that crochet can be versatile and doesn't just have to involve yarn and that it can be used as a creative form of art to create just about anything . I hope you get a taste of what crochet can offer and this blog inspires you to enrole in a workshop, ask someone to teach you or even teach yourself ! I've found Crochet to be a great form of therapy and with a bit of patience , a hook and some yarn you can go on to create some most amazing pieces.

cakestand & crumb

Sometimes , when you least expect it, you stumble across one of life's little treasures.


cakestand & crumb is a beautiful little shop that has recently opened  in Bedfordshire's small market town of Ampthill , and is open for homemade cakes, tea, coffee and cordials, vintage homewear, plants and herbs.

When you step into the shop you are immediately transported back to a bygone era,
beautiful dressers displaying vintage glasswear and linens,


cosy inviting corners with vintage crochet throws


retro sweets 


gorgeous home made cakes displayed using vintage cakestands,


all served using beautiful vintage china,


in what could easily feel like home,
so much so you just don't want to leave...just my cup of tea !
