With a lifelong love of crafts Jackie is passionate about The Crafty Fox 'It all started back in Primary School at the age of 11 when I learned to use a sewing machine and made hotpants' (well that's giving away her age!!). Jackie can knit, crochet, felt and sew but considers herself a jack of all trades and a master of none.

Peter tries a number of crafts when time allows, including charcoal, drawing, painting, and wood burning (pyrography that is...not just in the fire!), but mainly loves building the TCF Christmas window displays.
He is also a bit of an IT bod and stickler for procedures which means he gets landed with a lot of the paperwork...well someone has to do it!
