Welcome to Happy Valley Craft Studio, where every creation is a labour of love and a celebration of life's precious moments.

My inspiration came from the birth of my first grandchild in November 2023. I had crafted on and off over the years while my own children were younger but then life got busy and I just never seemed to find the time. While my daughter was pregnant with baby Alexander I started looking around for special products to help celebrate his birth and his first milestones. Increasingly, I found myself wanting to create things just for him - and so I did. And here we are. Not only have I created products for the precious little people in our lives, I've found a love of creating fun products for everyone else too.

We live on a 14 acre property near Otaki in the North Island of New Zealand. We have pet goats, alpacas, sheep and horses as well as a few chickens, cats and dogs - many are rescues from all different situations. They get to live their best life with us and it's a wonderful privilege for us to be able to give them that. Our lifestyle block has always been called Happy Valley Farm and so it feels right to use that name for my crafting studio as well.

Thanks for stopping by. I do hope you stay a while. Welcome to Happy Valley, it's great to have you here.
