Welcome to Annie’s Crafting Nook
Made by hand.
Made for you.
Anyone can buy something that has been made a million times. Annie makes things that have never existed before.
18 pieces looking for homes · 6 making spaces left

Made slowly,
on purpose.
The world is getting very good at making things quickly. We are more interested in making things worth keeping.
No machines running through the night. No warehouses stacked with identical boxes. Nothing generated at the click of a button. Yarn, a crochet hook, an idea, and Annie.
Already made
Ready to find a home
These already exist, sitting in a box waiting to go somewhere. When one goes, that particular one is gone.

The good bit
Or have one made that has never existed
Tell Annie about a person and she will make something only they could have been given. Their favourite colours. Their daughter’s favourite animal. An initial stitched somewhere only they would find it.
She fits this around looking after her grandchildren, so there are only so many she can make in a month. That is why a bespoke piece costs what it costs.

And this is who makes it
Hello. I’m Annie.
I make things by hand from a corner of my house that has quietly been taken over by yarn, hooks and about four hundred things I am definitely going to use one day.
When you pay for something here, it does not go to a factory or a fulfilment operation. It goes to me, sitting there making your order.
“I would rather make one thing properly for one person than a hundred of the same thing for nobody.”
Behind the scenes
Some things shouldn’t be instant
Three evenings. Hundreds of stitches. One little creature. Here is what that actually looks like.

Kind words
What people have said
Annie is just getting started.
The shop is new, so there are no reviews to show yet. Be the first, and yours will sit right here.
Have something in mind?
Tell Annie roughly what you are imagining and she will tell you honestly whether she can make it, what it would cost, and how long it would take.
p.s. she really does read every message herself
