A happy new year to one and all. Sounds scary saying a new year as I can't quite believe another year has gone by so quickly. I haven't made any resolutions, apart from one, which is to update the blog on a more regular basis! Last Autumn we worked with a local charity called Out of Sight. It's based in North Tyneside and is set up by parents whose children have a visual impairment. The spirit of the parents and children was remarkable and so inspiring. The crafts incorporated lots of different textures and materials, along with some messier painting activities, so the children could participate and use all of their senses.
Already for 2011 we have lots of exciting projects lined up, one is the Saltwell Park show in April. It was such a busy weekend there last year with lots of events available for the whole family. The theme of the crafts isn't confirmed yet, but I will keep you posted once they are.
Once again a big thank you to all the businesses and people I worked with last year and am looking forward to seeing you in 2011.

About Crafty Creatures
- NICOLA BAKER
- Welcome! My name is Nicola and I run Crafty Creatures Art & Craft Events and Parties throughout North East England. To book us for your party or event call 07966 297426 or email nicola@crafty-creatures.com - thanks for stopping by! A little about me... I have worked for 10 years initially with adults with a learning disability and then in a mental health setting for the NHS and Social Services. However, since having my son in 2005, I felt the time was right to explore other opportunities. In 1996 I graduated from the University of Glamorgan with a 2:1 degree in Art and Psychology and have recently felt that being creative no longer needed to be a hobby, instead it could become a way of life. Previous to Crafty Creatures I have exhibited and sold some of my work in Art Galleries and I remember how I felt so proud and excited at this. It is these feelings which I hope every individual who attends a Crafty Creatures event or party will feel.
