Hi my name is Aoife and I’m a craftywagon! I hand make unique cards and canvases from my home in Dublin. During the first lockdown I needed a project. So, I dismantled my box room and decided to build a desk and turn the room into a craft studio. I cut the desk top from wood I had and covered it in paper I had collected, some vintage but I included cards from my family, notes from friends and even a crossword I completed without the help of google. Then I built the desk legs from old books.
I had been a chef, but with the pandemic in 2020 I was out of work. As the lockdown continued and crafting became my therapy, I decided, with some encouragement, to turn a hobby into a business and so Craftywagon was born.
I’ve always been ‘handy’ as your Mam might say, creative is probably a better word. When I started making cards and crafts for my family the key for me was to have something in the card or gift that the person would appreciate, a colour, a favourite flower or a nod to their interests, like music. Something that makes their card or gift unique to them.
I still think about those things, I try to make my cards pretty, distinctive and special. As each one is handmade, they will differ slightly. I collect paper and am always on the lookout for things that will look well on a card. My Dad was a woodcarver so I love to use wooden embellishments and Mam was a gardener so that’s where the love of floral themes comes in. Every card and canvas are made on my homemade, memory covered desk in my little studio.
