About Me:: Hello, My name is Lucy. I live in a small terrace house with my partner, my pet angel fish and my cat in Nottingham, UK, Robin Hood country! I started crafting 8 years ago with a friend, tentatively calling our project Ethel and Iris, after our Granny's who loved to make and mend things, a great inspiration.
I have a passion for finding, collecting, discovering and recycling things that time has forgotten.
Just as my Granny, Ethel used to scrimp and save, I cherish the art of making and mending the old into the new.

(Designers only) I create:: Recycled hand stitched Greetings cards, Recycled Leather brooches, Cross stitch bird brooches, Sewing kits
