ABOUT US

Mini Mad Things creator Eleanor Ford
Mini Mad Things is created by Mum, designer and craft enthusiast,
Eleanor Ford.
If I had to introduce myself in one word, I would say I am a maker.
I grew up in a house where we made things. We learnt to sew and to knit; to saw, hammer and build. My Mum baked bread every day and we grew vegetables. We learnt to fix broken things. We were resourceful. All of these skills made me who I am and ignited my love for craft. This passion for making is something I would like to pass on to my children and to others; it is the reason for creating
MINI MAD THINGS.
As well as creating all the fun kids craft project ideas here on our blog, we also sell a range of CRAFT BOXES, BOOKS and ECO ART SUPPLIES. Head this way to BROWSE our SHOP!
Thank you for visiting.
