APOLOGIES! due to the increase in postage prices I have had to add postage costs to my listings. Having said that I have tried to mitigate this by reducing card prices a little. If I didn’t do this I just couldn’t continue this little business. The cards are time consuming and detailed and I always give a little free gift with each order so I hope you feel you still get great value - thank you 😊 ALSO…every single order will receive a little crochet surprise gift!! I love to do this and stems from my days of leaving around my neighbourhood little ‘random acts of crochet kindness’ to bring cheer 🥰

If you need your crochet cards quickly please look for the separate listing of your card with the title FIRST CLASS or message me! I will always try my best to help.

Thank you - Helen

Quirky crochet critters & unique gifts

Hi my name is Helen & I am a self taught crocheter. I learnt to crochet during the first lockdown as a means to combat anxiety & as a diversion from chronic pain. Feeling a sense of helplessness during the pandemic I started hiding random acts of crochet kindness in my neighbourhood to bring some smiles. I still do this & it makes me happy knowing it brings cheer to the finders. I am married with a teenage daughter & am a passionate animal lover with two dogs.
