Catriona suggested my mice should have a little tag stating they were hand made. Bob offered to make me some with his laser cutter. He went out to the workshop and a short time later cane back with a handful of twelve wooden tags.  They are so cute- less than 50mm x 25mm, 2mm thick and I can write the mouse name on the back. Much smarter than just a bit of cardboard or a sticky label. [Thanks Bob] Each mouse also has a storycard. It's all coming together very nicely at my 31:13 shop

I've loved crafting all my life - sewing, knitting, papercrafts, embroidery and more.I admit to being a hoarder- collecting  scraps that other people discard and turning them into beautiful and useful things.  Now I'm retired, and living in a beautiful part of the country, I have more time to sit and stitch, and I want to share my creativity with others, at an affordable price.

My grandmother taught me crafting skills when I was a child, and she was a woman of faith. My shop is called 31:13 because there is a verse in the bible (Proverbs chapter 31 verse 13) , about a woman who "finds wool and fine linen and works with eager hands" 

My shop's logo is a play on those numbers - the butterfly reflects the idea of metamorphosis into a new, beautiful life.

Oops! The site is not proving user friendly to some people accessing on phones. I shall work on that over the weekend. But for now, it may help to click on the menu box [white square, 3 horizontal lines] and select SHOP from the drop down list of options. Or if on a laptop hold down Control key and press minus at same time, to zoom out. 

Thanks Mary for flagging this up.
