In early December Crafty Creatures was luck yo take part in Gateshead Crossroads Carers Christmas Community Event. Christmas crafts to cover a wide age range were available for all to make, from spiraling snowmen to angel tree decorations. People from the local community in Highfield attended, along with schools in the area and of course carers. I was particularly excited for Crafty Creatures to take part in this event as in the past I have worked with people who have mental ill health and am aware of the work carers of all ages play in helping to keep people well, so it was lovely to be able to give something back to them.

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.
