Kerry, the maker behind Prettyskitty Creates

Hi, I’m Kerry from Prettyskitty Creates

I create bespoke gifts and keepsakes from a variety of mediums, trying to incorporate nature sourced locally wherever I can. Needle felting is my passion — there’s something truly magical about watching a ball of wool transform, with time and patience, into a unique piece of art.

How it started

I have always been a creative person and I’ve tried many different styles over the years. I have a degree in Contemporary Art which I studied in my hometown of Manchester, England.

Prettyskitty Creates was born just before my second child in 2010. I needed an outlet and a way to destress after running around after two little ones all day! I started making fabric wall art and personalised sock advents as well as selling at the local craft fairs. Sadly, as it often does with little ones, life got in the way and my creativity was put on hold for many years.

I began to experiment with needle felting during Lockdown 2020 and really took to it. There’s something very therapeutic about hammering out a piece of wool! Once you get the hang of it you can create some wonderful things — I highly recommend people give it a try!

What I create

I create bespoke gifts and keepsakes from a variety of mediums, with a special love for needle felting. Each piece is made with care and attention, incorporating locally sourced natural materials wherever possible. No two pieces are exactly alike — that’s the beauty of truly handmade work.

I hope you enjoy rummaging through my makes! If you see something you like, that’s great. If you need something different, please get in touch and I’ll be happy to help.

Why choose handmade

For me, needle felting is very mindful — it’s one of the only ways I’ve found that actually switches off my internal chatter. Every piece I make carries that calm, focused energy into it. When you choose something handmade, you’re not just getting a gift; you’re getting a one-of-a-kind piece made with real care.
