The Crafting Chez

Hi there, I'm Ruth from Beltane Gifts (a small arts and crafts shop in Nuneaton, UK) and welcome to The Crafting Chez! For those of you wondering about the channels name, one of the first things I bought when I got my shop was a chaise longue and I do a lot of my best crafting while sitting on it and so it became known as the crafting chaise, or chez for short. My dad pointed out that chez actually means "at the home of", which I love because it works both ways, so welcome to my home of crafting!
During the recent pandemic I was at home and unable to spend time in my shop. At a loose end, and unable to hold my usual workshops, I decided to spread some of my joy of felting by making some videos. It's slow going getting used to recording and editing myself but I'm a strong believer in learning as you do. I also believe in the therapeutic power of creativity, so for those of you having a hard time out there, I hope my videos inspire you to create, and that things get better. x
