  This is my Craft Business - online FB and Etsy shop - I do this as it is my passion and has moved from a hobby into a small craft business as I love Knitting and crocheting and making handmade felt & heirloom pieces also. I am not a hobby knitter but a crafter with a passion and turned it into a business. www.facebook.com/pitterpattertinyfeetknittingemporium - this is the connection to the business page and I love it - I get to meet loads of lovely people, fellow crafters, fellow business owners and I also regularly exhibit at craft and vintage markets and fairs across Merseyside, Halton, Cheshire etc. Who would have guessed this is my alter ego and I adore it - I made unique hand made gifts for newborn babies, mums to be - gift sets for premmie babies through to toddlers to 7 years of age. I love creating heirloom pieces for families, house ware items - tea cosies and many many more items - turning my hobby into a business was a great way forward and I get to do all the things I love to do most.
