Smile Creative Crafts<\/h3>\n

A warm welcome to Smile Creative Crafts.<\/p>\n

My name is Susan<\/a>, I love producing handmade crafts with a smile.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The items<\/a> I make are carefully crafted using different media, materials, tools and techniques including crochet, resin, polymer clay and paint.<\/p>\n

Each piece I make has a smile incorporated within. Witnessing a person\u2019s delight when they locate the smile on the item they have chosen is wonderful.<\/p>\n

Smiles spread joy, they instill a feel-good factor in our busy lives. They are a source of encouragement which helps to create positive connections.<\/p>\n

During a recent time of need, smiles and hearts were a source of comfort and strength for me – hence my company name, logo and the embedded smiles on my products.<\/p>\n

Inspired by my parents and my grandparents, I developed a love for crafting at an early age: knitting, sewing, crocheting, tapestry, embroidery, cross-stitch, patchwork, cooking, baking, drawing, painting\u2026 the list goes on. 😃💝<\/p>\n

As a child, I spent many, many hours looking lovingly through both of my nana\u2019s sewing boxes and button tins, and my mum\u2019s sewing table. Those cherished memories are amongst some of my most treasured moments.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am eternally thankful to my family for inspiring and instilling in me a love for crafting and creativity. They gave me the foundation and patience for everything I love about crafting today.<\/p>\n

Having lost my sparkle recently, crochet became my therapy. A renewed incentive to crochet, thanks to my partner\u2019s sister looking for someone to make a sloth for her, meant that\u2026 one week later, my first crocheted sloth was completed for her\u2026 followed by, a few months later, Smile Creative Crafts was created.<\/p>\n

I hope my website and the items<\/a> I craft give you, and those you cherish, as much pleasure as they do me and my family.<\/p>\n

Materials<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

As each item is crafted individually, colours and sizes may vary slightly as no two pieces are ever the same with handmade items. Colours can also appear different on phone screens and laptop screens, as can sizes.<\/p>\n

I promote ethical sourcing and sustainability which you can read more about within another section on this website.<\/p>\n
