ShellDys

Hi there, My name is Shelley, I live in Huddersfield which is in the North of England. I live with my husband and will soon be joined by our first child in February 2020 were having a little girl and cannot wait!!!!

I work full time for the local government working with schools to safeguard children this can be a very challenging job but I love that I make a difference.

In my spare time I love jewellery making, making gifts, knitting, pocket letters, flip books, ATCs and anything crafty. I also enjoy visiting historical towns and going to the seaside. My favourite places to visit are York, Whitby and Howarth I really like these places because they are gothic and quirky I also really enjoy going on ghost walks in these places and finding out about the local history.

My husband and I spend a lot of time looking in charity shops and antique shops we love to up cycle furniture and we also like to make lamps out of old items we recently made a lamp out of an old oil can.

My favourite themes when doing paper type crafts are fairytale, horror and vintage.
