It's the end of an era!

I have some very big news. After 11 very happy years I’ve decided to close Cloud Craft. 

I set up this business to share my love for craft and so that I could be around more when my children were small. It’s been such a wonderful journey watching both the business and my kids grow, and I’m so grateful to have had this chance and to be part of this creative, supportive community.

Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the future and have had this niggling feeling that won’t go away - I need to start a new chapter. I realise that I no longer have a passion for business that I once had. Because running a small business is all consuming and runs on passion, without it it’s impossible to continue, so it’s time to move on. I don’t know quite what the future holds, but I do know that I will always be making things and enjoying seeing what others create. Maybe Cloud Craft will come back again in a different form but for now I need to give myself the chance to look at other opportunities.

So, I wanted to say a huge thank you - I’m extremely grateful for every single order and for all the lovely people who have been my cheerleaders over the years. I’m so sad that it’s coming to an end but am excited for the adventures ahead.

While I dry my tears, on to the practical stuff! There’s 30% off everything on the website while stock lasts, including things in the sale, so there are some huge bargains to be had, including DMC threads for 77p and wool felt sheets for £1.26. We are very low on some felt colours so if you have favourites I'd be quick :) Please help me clear the decks!

Happy stitching.
