Laura Hanks, who set up the firm, said: "Ever since I was little I've always been interested in arts and crafts.
"Once I stopped working when I had my boys, I needed something to do for myself," the mother-of-two said.
"It took a while to pluck up the courage but I decided to take the leap of faith."
Ms Hanks opened the new shop earlier this month and said the response had been very positive and supportive.
She added: "I’ve been completely blown away by the encouragement received by everyone."
On the opening day, the shop held a free crafts event for children.

Her favourite element so far has been the customers.
"I love the face to face contact with people," she said.
"Working from home would get really isolating at times and I love being sociable, so being able to provide the face to face service is great."
The shop is now open between Tuesday to Saturday.
