CRAFTY
GREETINGS
W Crafter and
graphic designer
TillyFlop (aka Julie
Nelson Rhodes),
has created a
range of greetings
cards that can only
be described as
ultra-relatable for
crafters. Quotes
such as ‘When I
said it would be
ready for your
birthday, did I say
which one?’ will
ring so true for
crocheters, and
TillyFlop even has
a selection of
crochet-specific
cards, such as this
emergencies card.
