Talia's Craft Co

Although I haven't made anything new this year for Halloween, I thought i'd post some of my favourites!
Have a great Halloween everyone! 🎃👻

It's been a while since I've posted but I am still around!
I designed a new wallpaper and have just uploaded it to my Etsy! Feel free to check it out.

I'll be releasing physical things again soon so keep a lookout for more jewellery to come! 😊 But in the meantime, feel free to check out the range of downloadable phone wallpapers and printable wall art over on my Etsy page!

Gained a new addition to my family today!
Here is the dummy clip I made him.
This was so fun to make! The mum loves whales so I couldn't help but personalise it to her.

If anyone has any babies on the way, I'd be more than happy to make one! Beads are made from silicone and have multiple knots inside to prevent it from falling apart.
I only have a small selection of letters and bead colours at the moment but feel free to drop me a message and I'll see what I can do!

Spotted my stuff in the Mystic Cauldron () on Saturday!
Unfortunately the cards don't fit on the shelves I provided (my bad 😂), but super excited to see my items on display!

If you're in Huddersfield, feel free to take a look! Located in the Packhorse shopping centre on King Street, HD1 2RT 🖤

Had another lovely weekend crafting with my boyfriend! He had another go at Olimar as the other one didn't stand up too well. I love it!

Enjoyed a lovely pottery painting session at tonight!
Lovely way to unwind after work 😊.
Definitely not the neatest job but I'm excited to see it out of the kiln!

Made myself a wax melt with the leftovers 😊 swipe to see how it glows! 😍💜

Crafty night for a colleagues birthday!
Excuse the non traditional photography. I don't often end up taking better photos unless I'm selling them 🙈
Just a reminder I'm still here in the background and my Etsy is still open!

My , the Ace of Hearts playing card 🃏

I love to take part in a design challenge! Thanks !

It's such an honour to be able to combine by day job with my evening hobby/small business!

The communications team in my NHS Trust wrote the sweetest article for making a necklace to cheer up one of my patients 😊.

Article below:
"Ward 19 received some brilliant feedback from the relative of a patient - singing the praises of Occupational Therapist Talia, after she demonstrated true compassionate care for one of our patients.

Patient, Jackie, had been on the ward for an extended period, and she was feeling upset about still being in hospital when Talia, who designs and sells jewellery, decided to make her a necklace to cheer her up. Jackie was overjoyed to receive the gift - resulting in tears all around for colleagues on Ward 19.

Afterwards, Jackie’s husband got in touch to share his appreciation, saying: “Thank you Talia, you have been an absolute STAR. You have done FAR more for us than you had to. Your gift to Jackie will be cherished by us both. Thank you for your kind involvement in this most delicate moment in our hospital experience, we will never forget you.”

Physiotherapist Hazel was so impressed that she sent an Appreciation message in for Talia - and that's where comms picked up the story.

Lovely words for a lovely gesture. Thank you, Talia, for being a wonderful example of our Trust’s values."

I know I haven't been posting a lot lately but I have been working behind the scenes to sell in shops and to return to crafting as a hobby!

As much as I wish it could be, this business is not my full time job. I am an occupational therapist full time (with a previous degree in psychology) and love being in such a career! However some days are more rewarding than others and unfortunately, working in a hospital setting can be quite rushed and not provide that gratification to make a positive change on someone's life.
Yesterday, I had a patient upset with being in hospital and felt that noone cared about her, so I decided to get crafting that night and made her a beautiful heart necklace to remind her of how much she is loved!
She cried and held my hand.

So THAT my lovely followers is WHY I do what I do.
I love being able to provide beautiful and personalised gifts to make someone's day and even though I am not getting any financial gain from this, just being able to brighten someone's day honestly means the world! 🌎

It's officially summer!
Get the bee buzz with these sparkly Lepidolite bee earrings! Available now over in my Etsy shop!

A difficult colour to photograph! My sister also purchased this necklace for a teacher
Made with red and blue dried flowers encased in resin.
Should I do more of this style of minimalist jewellery? Let me know in the comments below!

A pair of the beautiful earrings bought for a teacher! I hope she likes them!
These beauties were repurposed to better match the colour of resin I filled in the middle. I love how they turned out!

I sold some of my jewellery to my sister for teacher's presents which made me realise, who says teachers gifts have to be teacher related?! Jewellery is a perfect gift idea!
Feel free to check out what's available on my Etsy or drop me a message if you are interested in buying from me for a teacher!

Feeling nostalgic with my old designs starting out with resin necklaces!
This new green and pink floral resin necklace is out now over at my Etsy shop! Link in my bio 💚

I originally made these for myself to be in keeping for being a bridesmaid last year! I think they're so cute and thought I'd sell a pair!

Swipe to the end for a very cropped photo of me on the wedding day! Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of my earrings that day!

A big close up of the earrings I made myself for date night!
