I'm Claire and I'm the face behind Sweetpea.
I live in a village near Richmond (the original one in North Yorkshire!) with my husband, little boy and cat.
I moved back here a couple of years ago after 18 years in Newcastle, just 2 months before my son was born - talk about doing it all at once...
I balance my time between looking after a toddler with running Sweetpea and also working at my cousin's pub in the evening (the superb Bay Horse Inn in Ravensworth if you're ever in the area...)
After doing an art foundation course and studying graphic design at university then getting increasingly digital as I moved into web and user experience design, I really enjoyed getting back into more hands on crafts.
There's something so rewarding about making something with your hands - and having a break from screens!
I try all sorts (and have far too many projects on the go...), but Sweetpea allows me to combine two of my favourites - calligraphy/hand lettering and embroidery.
I love the mindful aspect of craft and want to share it with as many people as possible, so all my kits are suitable for everyone from complete beginner level to more experienced stitchers. The designs are all pre-printed so you just sew on top of them, and everything comes with helpful guides too.
Embroidery is the perfect 'pick up and put down' craft, you don't have to take over the kitchen table and spend half an hour clearing up when you're done - it's perfect for doing in front of the TV with a good box set on.
All my embroidery kits are hand made by me here in Yorkshire, and are plastic free and reusable or recyclable to make them as environmentally friendly as possible.
Please feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or would like to get in touch - and I'd love to say hi at any of the events I've got lined up too 🙂
