Shop and Social Media Master List

This is my master list of where you can find me. I will be updating it with new links over time.


Shops

Website and shop: My main shop. This is where you can buy my tatting patterns, shuttle tatted bookmarks and jewellery. Coming soon: hand painted tatting thread, hand spun yarn, spinning batts and hand woven scarves.

Ko-fi: This is where you can find works in progress photos, behind the scenes stuff, my tip jar, a shop for my tatting patterns and handmade lace, and also commissions. If you like what I do and would like to support me as I grow my one woman business, you can 'buy me a coffee' on there. This is totally optional x.

Etsy shop: My longest running shop. Currently available: shuttle tatted bookmarks, jewellery, table decor and One Of A Kind pieces. Due to GPSR, I've had to deactivate most of my shop but once Etsy separates Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK, I'll be able to add my tatting patterns and made to order pieces again. This may happen at the end of February but I'll keep you updated. In the mean time, if you see something in my Sold Orders page you'd like, please contact me on Etsy and I can create a listing for you.

Folksy shop: I've started my Folksy shop again and am slowly but surely adding more pieces. I have most of my most popular pieces available with more coming soon.

Zazzle shop: My photography and art side project. Here you will find my photographs and digital art (not AI) on mugs, phone cases, watches and much more.

Social Media

Blog: My main journal.

bluesky: My main social channel. Here I share work in progress photos, news, Shop Updates and posts of others on subjects that are important to me.

Threads: This is where I share and talk about my creations.

Instagram (tatting): A pictorial journal of my shuttle tatting creations.

Instagram (textiles): This profile is for anything other than tatting: spinning, weaving, Tunisian crochet and loom knitting.

I also have a profile on twitter but I'm not focusing on it right now.

Thank you for your continued support. Every like, share and sale means so much to me.

Shop Update Announcement


Evening all. I've decided that I want to get back to more regular Shop Updates this year, so I'll do one per week and see how it goes. Each will be a mix of any of the following: new creations, remakes, tatting, hand dyed thread and more.

My first Shop Update will be this Friday at 5pm UK time (12pm EST). I'll share details here, on Instagram and my other socials when it's up and also some sneak peaks before then.

I can't wait to show you what I've been working on.

Shop News

        Good evening / good afternoon / good morning and welcome to my first blog post of 2025. With all the uncertainty with social media right now, I've decided to write more blog posts this year. I'll still be posting on twitter, bluesky and also now Threads but my blog will be a central place for me to post news and behind the scenes stuff, so that it's all in one place. So, here are some things I'd like to share with you.

*** Important Shop News ***

        Due to the new GPSR rules and the cost it involves, I can no longer sell to Northern Ireland (as well as the EU). This means that I cannot currently list new items created after 13th December on Etsy until a workaround has been put in place to separate NI from the rest of the UK for shipping (I've heard it will start to roll out at the end of February but I'll let you know if it changes). This includes my patterns. 

        In the mean time, all of the items currently listed in my Etsy shop (from before 13th December) are in stock and ready to ship.

        If you are outside of Northern Ireland and the EU and would like to purchase something that's out of stock, please check my Sold page, contact me and I'll create a listing for you.

        So sorry for the inconvenience.

        So which marketplace shop am I focusing on for the next few months? Well, I've decided to move my made to order and new items to my Folksy shop. The shipping locations have already been split so I can continue selling on there. I'm also working on adding listings on my own website.

        I'll be writing a blog post soon with a full list of my online shops.

        Again, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience whilst I move around my listings.

        More updates tomorrow,

                           Heather x
