Hello there! Thank you very much for stopping by Polka and Bloom.



The things you see in the shop are all one-of-a-kind. The blankets I make are made from 100% cotton yarn. It is very soft and cosy. The brooches are made from the same yarn, but wool mix felt and metal pin brooches are also used.



My name is Carina and I am the person behind the curtain. I am Danish but now live in England, with my English husband, by the river Thames in a small town just outside London.



I have always loved drawing, painting and making things. I still draw, paint and make things! These days, I mostly do embroidery and crochet. Although for several years I just could not break the crochet "code". But now that I have, there's no stopping me! I like to think that my grandma would have been so proud of me. My husband is less impressed, I think, now he has to share our home and my attention with lots of yarn!
