More Summer CRAFTfest sellers

Some more talented sellers that will be at Creative Connection's Summer  CRAFTfest......June 9th - 16th







Raven's Stained Glass, the place to come for unusual but beautiful stained glass suncatchers inspired by everything from tattoos to my artwork. I also design and create a range of 3D stained glass pieces, birthstone inspired gifts, stained glass jewellery and decorations for seasonal events such as Christmas.




Hi, I'm Lu, and I live just outside of Keswick in the beautiful Lake District in the north of the UK. As Handmade In Keswick, I make contemporary mixed media art, some of which I feature on handmade sketchbooks, notebooks and journals, which I sell offline and online via Folksy and Etsy. My work is a bit quirky and unusual, but I find that people seem to look at pieces and know immediately who they're gonna buy for. The books especially make lovely little hostess gifts and thank you gifts for when you don't want to give flowers or chocs. My current obssessions are portraits and free machine embroidery, and whatever I am doing at any one time, I also seem to enjoy making a mess.




I create jewellery using bead weaving around sea glass and other beach finds like ceramic fragments and a few special pebbles and shells. I use a lot of vintage beads collected over the years and from websites, markets and charity shops. In order to complete the designs I mix in modern beads and recycled jewellery from broken pieces. Most of my jewellery is influenced by the sea and the shore, colours and textures from rocks and rock pools as well as the sea itself.




I love making all sorts of crafts and hopefully you will find that "little something that you've always been looking for" here :)
I am offering some nice things which will make lovely little gifts for your loved ones or... well, why not for yourself too! Enjoy!

I work mainly in acrylics, and enjoy painting a variety of styles, from my cartoon 'Chubby Bubbies' (little chubby bunnies who dance and ice skate etc) to sensible life like portraits.

I have been making my crafts for nearly 15 years now and enjoy doing very much. It all started when I lived in Germany. I decided that I would like to take up a craft, so I taught myself how to make the lovely Ribbon Decorations which I have in my CRAFTfest stall. It all started with the basic Ball decoration and then just expanded to different shapes. They are all individual and unique in some way.
I then branched out and began making other items made from fabric such as the Brooches and other Tree decorations. I also make Plaited Wreaths from fabric amongst lots of other things at Christmas Time.
I like to attend local craft fairs but mainly nearer Christmas, especially one which is held in our town centre, it has been very successful for me the last two years that I have attended.
I hope you enjoy browsing through my shop. 




Makeaholic sells craft and jewellery supplies aswell as handmade gifts. Based in the Scottish Borders we make and sell handmade products from fabric to feather and from Tibetan Silver to Sterling Silver findings.
We are here to help whether you are buying from our craft box to make your own creative piece or treating yourself to our handmade gifts.

Drawing inspiration from my surroundings on the Somerset Levels I make soaps, bath goodies and candles. All of my ingredients are natural, fragrance is from essential oils and colours, when they are used, are from natural sources. All of my products are vegetarian friendly and most are vegan friendly. Where possible I use local ingredients – botanicals are grown in my garden or harvested from the local hedgerows and the honey and beeswax used in some of the soaps and lip balms are from the hives nearby. All of my soaps are made in small batches ensuring they are as fresh as possible 

Here at Beatific Jewellery you will find a stunning selection of necklaces and bracelets for sale. Each piece is made with care and attention to detail, using a selection of beads including glass beads, semi-precious stones, shell beads and acrylic beads.
Each piece is uniquely handcrafted. There are NO two identical pieces – NO two pieces will ever be the same in colour, style and type of beads!
Each piece can also be personalised and made to measure making it a special gift for weddings, anniversaries or birthdays.
Alternatively, if there is something that you would specifically like, you can send me an email or submit an online form via the contact page.
Each piece of jewellery comes in an organza bag.

I have had a passion since childhood for fossils and gemstones & have been collecting for many years. As a family we go on fossil hunting expeditions, but there is only so much you can keep for yourself, so crafting with fossils and gemstones is a real treat! I enjoy knitting, crochet and working with yarn and wool, making items from simple scarfs through to hand made handbags. Inspiration often taken from nature, or by the look of how differing yarns, wool and other products work together. Each of these items will be unique and guaranteed hand made.I enjoy recycling and upcycling and a recent passion has been creating items from Gent's neck ties, handbags, aprons, accessories and a variety of other items.


A selection of animal print cat beds, cushions & cat toys; large blankets, cat-themed gifts & cards all individually handemade by Rachel but tested and approved by All Things Blankets resident kitties.



Unique, high quality handmade jewellery that make you feel special and extraordinary.
Hand embroidered jewellery made with colorful beads, gemstones and silk soutache braids.
