Independent business: The Pigeon’s Nest

The Pigeon’s Nest officially started in 2012. I taught myself to crochet that year to fill a creativity deficit that I had whilst working with young people in the care sector. It was a creative job… but I have always needed a huge amount of creative output to keep me sated!

I began selling my crochet the same year alongside working my job, and then, a few years later, becoming a mother. I have pretty much built my business in 5 minute slots as and when I can find them.

Brightly coloured yarn dominates a shelving unit whch is Pigeon’s kitchen office. I run my handmade business from my home, usually at my kitchen table, surrounded by lego, art supplies with 70’s and 80’s music blaring from a speaker. It is truly my happy place.
