Welcome to my Blog Page

Hi and welcome to my new Blog, a place where I will share all things that are new and upcoming at Tilly Mint Creates.

From a small Cheshire market town called Sandbach I run my business from home.

Tilly was originally created back in 2013 following my maternity leave with my youngest daughter.  Originally Tilly products were predominantly custom made rag dolls and toys, however, over the years my crafting has evolved and included more than just toys.

Being a crafter, I am always trying new things and over recent years I have learnt many new skills, my partner would say too many new skills as our home gets smaller and my craft supplies multiply.

There has always been a passion with creating; as a child I learnt from my mum the skill of knitting and this officially had me hooked.  Mum was an amazing knitter and her creations clothed many babies across Cheshire and Merseyside.

I was desperate to learn the art of crochet but sadly my mum did not have this skill and whilst off work on maternity leave I toddled off to YouTube with a 99p hook and £1 ball of bargain store yarn to learn yet another new skill. The rest as they say is history and my passion of crochet was created.

Over the last few years I have worked on perfecting my craft and naturally designing patterns became the next step.

This blog will enable me to pass down my knowledge to you on the art of how to crochet.  It promises to have lots of patterns, tutorials and even videos, so are you ready to join in?
