Sharing this with the blessing of Ellerie's wonderful family.

💜 Craft for Ellerie 💜

Some people leave footprints on your heart that can never be erased. Ellerie Daisy Carroll was one of those people.

Diagnosed with DIPG in September 2024, Ellerie sadly passed away on 23rd May 2026. She was a remarkable little girl, full of charm, sass and joy, who touched the hearts of an entire community and inspired so many to always "find the glimmers" in life.

The heartbreaking reality is that DIPG remains one of the most devastating childhood cancers, with no cure and very few treatment options. Research is desperately needed, and I wanted to find a way to help.

From 21st June, Ellerie's birthday, until 21st July, I will be donating £1 from every Craft Café item purchased and 10% of all shop takings to Abbie's Army, the wonderful charity that supported Ellerie and her family throughout the last 20 months.

Ellerie adored crafting. She loved to dance, sing, play with her dolls and get creative, so it feels only fitting to honour her through something she loved so much.

At the Idle Street Party on Saturday 27th June, I'll be offering special drop in crafts alongside Craft Café, including the opportunity to paint a Stitch figure in Ellerie's honour, one of her absolute favourites. There will also be other items available to paint and extra collection points if you'd like to make an additional donation.

I would love for our amazing community to come together to celebrate Ellerie's beautiful spirit, support her incredible family and help fund vital research that could make a difference for other children and families in the future.

Let's create, remember and give back together. 💜⚡️

The last time I knitted something was for my son when he was around 6 months old… and he celebrated his 27th birthday last week! 🧶💙

But I’ve recently rediscovered just how much I love knitting, and I’ve got a few projects on the go, including this chunky red cardi for me!

I’ve also been teaching knitting on a 1-to-1 basis where I work with two students, and it’s been so lovely to see their confidence grow.

So… I’m wondering… if I were to offer a small group beginners’ knitting class, would anyone be interested?

I actually had a lady come into the shop asking about lessons, but typically I didn’t get her details before she left! 😅

If you’d fancy learning to knit in a relaxed, friendly group, pop a comment below or send me a message. I’d love to see if there’s enough interest! 🧶✨

Another lovely sold-out Crochet Class today! 🧶💛

I love watching Jo teach – she’s encouraging, nurturing and honest, and her passion shines through in every class.

We had 8 beginners today, plus 2 returning students who came back to continue their crochet journey and progress to the next level. It’s so rewarding to see their confidence grow.

Our next class is 22nd August, with more dates on 3rd October and 28th November if you can’t make it.

Swipe to see what everyone got up to! ✨

A year ago today I found my little space in Idle Village with a dream and a lot of excitement. Looking back now, I can hardly believe how far it has come.

I am now loving life in my bigger studio and busy planning a crafty summer with 27 children already booked on. It makes me so happy to see the studio filled with creativity, laughter and smiling faces.

I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me and to be part of the wonderful Idle Village community. Thank you for believing in me and being part of this journey. I cannot wait to see what the next year brings. 💛

🧶✨ A little bit of honesty... Crafty Social Night is less than a week away and I don't have a single booking! 😅

Surely I can't be the only one who fancies a couple of hours away from the washing, the emails and the endless to do list?

Bring along whatever you're working on, whether that's knitting, crochet, cross stitch, embroidery, papercrafting or any other crafty project, and spend the evening in the company of fellow makers.

It's just £6, I'll pop the kettle on, throw in a cuppa and a biscuit, and we can enjoy a relaxed evening of creativity together 💛

Honestly, even if you're coming on your own, you'll be made to feel so welcome. So... who's going to come and keep me company? 👀

YIPPEEEE WE NOW HAVE 4 BOOKED ON!

Today I attended Day 1 of my Paediatric First Aid refresher course, making sure my skills and knowledge are up to date. It was great spending the day with my friend Kirsty, working through all the essential skills together.

I really hope I never have to put any of it into practice, but knowing what to do in an emergency is so important. Day 1 complete, and looking forward to finishing Day 2 next week! 💚
