About Me
My name is Tamsyn, I'm Cornish but currently live in Hampshire. I'm married, in my 30s and have a passion for crafting items and writing. I use this passion to spread God's word and and to try to encourage the Church as a whole to feel refreshed in their calling as God's children. Much of the cross stitch I design is created to help Christians to meditate on God's word while relaxing and, in the case of the bookmarks, to provide a reminder of God's strength and love while reading.
Although my passion is to use my skills to spread God's word, not everything I sell on this site will be specifically Christian. This will be especially true of the secondhand books section where there will be a variety of genres according to what I happen to have in stock.

About the Business
Fellowship Crafts is the handmade crafts brand of Good News Christian Resources.
​
​
Good News Resources began life as a bookshop in Salisbury, UK, called Sarum Books. When Sarum Books closed down I took it on the road as Good News Christian Resources. The name came from the bookshop in St. Austell that I visited many times over the years - Good News Crusade Bookshop (it renamed as SacredPlace and has also closed down in recent years). When I took over the bookshop I always had the intention of selling my own craft items alongside the books but decided the crafts side needed its own name.
​
​
The mission of Good News Christian Resources is to sell books and resources at affordable prices to help the word of God to be accessible to more people, regardless of their financial situation.
​
​
The mission of Fellowship Crafts is to offer a variety of craft items - both as digital downloads and physical items - to help equip the Church to engage with God practically. The purpose of the business is also to provide activities that can be made/gifted to improve mental health with the relaxation that can come from cross stitching while providing a Christian focus that can give the person engaging in the craft an opportunity to meditate on God's word.

Currently the business is UK based and only ships to the UK.
