Crafty Bees began trading in 2002 when I decided to turn my hobby in to an official business. After making cards for friends and family, I progressed to selling at local craft fayres with the help of my husband, followed by supplying local shops and florists. I still do the occasional fayre, especially around Christmas, but I mainly sell via the Internet now.

My 'day job' sees me in Central London daily, working for Central Government.
