The last newsletter of 2021! Tracy, myself and the team at Craft Focus would like to thank you all for your support during the year. We have enjoyed the positivity across the craft industry and the new generation of crafters with so many inspiring designs! Creativity is so good for the soul.

I don’t know about you but I’m ready for some festive family time – and binging the entire series of Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas!

We hope 2022 brings us all busy trade shows, busy highstreets, happiness and good health.

Merry Christmas & a happy new year!
