The Cricket’s Handbag is about savouring the moment. Like the one pictured. A beautiful sunny afternoon spent picking strawberries with the sound of the sea filling your senses. The field was on the shore. If you look closely, you can see it in the horizon. We encourage you to experience our world through events, paintings and traditional rug hooking patterns and original designs by Denise Livingstone.

You will discover some untraditional items such as a strawberry cake, and unique home decor items like oil paintings, rugs and pillows inspired by an Island life.

Browse our one of a kind clothing with rug hooked embellishments and greeting card line featuring rug hooked items. There are even some free downloadable patterns and coloring pages to help you relax and enjoy the moment.
