My name is Sandrine. I am a French ex-pat who's lived in the UK for over 26 years. I started The Frog in the Craft in 2018 with a small craft stall. I sometimes need to remind myself that I have since come a long way.

I have been a regular trader at the twice weekly town market where I live in Nottinghamshire for about 18 months where I mostly sell a wide array of crafting supplies and haberdashery. I also attend other regular craft fair with my handmade items and host workshops at various locations as often as I can.

I am a multi-crafter who loves to learn new "old" skills as I love to focus on the heritage or historic crafts. I was inspired and encouraged by my granddad, at a young age, to make things by hand. I still have and use my wooden sewing box I made with him some 40 years ago.

My main crafts are the Dorset button, slow-stitching and the papercraft of quilling. I also enjoy recycling and repurposing object or materials.
In terms of items I make, I take the most joy and pride in making object which have a purpose, which are meant to be used but at the same time which are keepsakes or could be heirlooms passed down - such as needle cases, sewing kits, pincushions, buttons, etc.
