MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL MY CUSTOMERS
Hi name is Andrea Lidstone and after suffering 3 redundancies in 2009 within the media industry I decided to turn what was once a hobby into a full time business with the help of a government backed grant. Sweetpea Originals first exhibited at the Brixham Craft Market this year on Trawler Race Day with "Brixham Maids" by Sweetpea Original Rag Dolls (see webpage) this has proved to be successful and I have now added other items to my design portfolio. These are bespoke hand embriodered keepsake silk and lace cushions for special occasions, American Folk Art hearts with hand embroidered quotes and poems see Brixham Maids webpage), robust denim shoulder bags featuring a triple crochet flower button eye trim, own design hand knitted headwarmers with a crochet flower trim that can be teamed with crochet flower brooches. I have had no design experience , just a passion for all needlecrafts.
