About Kelly

Hi, I’m Kelly

A little about the person behind Handmade by Kelly.

I’m a proud grandmother from Southend with a love for creating thoughtful, handmade pieces for babies, little ones and their families.

Handmade by Kelly started from my love of crafting for my own grandchildren. What began as something personal soon grew through friends, family and word of mouth into a little business I’m incredibly proud of.

Every blanket, cardigan, bag, keepsake and custom piece is made by me with care. I choose soft, quality materials and love helping customers turn an idea, colour combination or something they’ve spotted online into something uniquely theirs.

The best part is knowing something I’ve made may become a gift, a comfort or a keepsake that someone treasures for years.

Kelly, the maker behind Handmade by Kelly
