HandMadeAwards

I love to create and I have done so since I was a little girl. I always try to make each handmade piece delicate and unique.
Our toys have a lot of handmade tiny details and special attention to the colors and finest materials.

My mom Loly Fuertes is an expert knitter and she taught to me a few years ago.
Both together (my mother and I), we are HandMadeAwards.
My family is absolutely a crafty family. I grew up between a mom who was always knitting amazing items and a dressmaker grandmother who was always sewing and embroidering.
Finally, I studied Applied Arts and I’m interior architect.

my favourites things to do:
watching the vintage black and white Hollywood movies, to travel, to go for a walk to the beach with our dog ( a rescued doggie called Pippa), to read a good book, the museums like Moma -NY and the Tate gallery of London, to drink a cup of hot tea and eat dark chocolate and pass the afternoon with my adorable old grandfather.

I was born in Santander, Spain, and I grew up in a big home near the beach with my adorable family.

I usually work in my studio that is a loft painted with light pink color and at my mother’s home, her home is full of vintage treasures as old ribbons, hundreds of colorful skein yarns, glass beads, beautiful scraps of fabrics and all the pretty things for crafting.

I have a shop on Etsy called The Cup Of Tea with beautiful toys made with handmade sculpture woolen pompoms and decorated with vintage and tiny knitted details.

We have worked for Knitting Today Magazine! and Crochet Today Magazine! in US and Simply Knitting UK.

HandMadeAwards on Etsy with 5.4K followers, sold more than 18.000 patterns and buyers bought from my shop gave them 5-star reviews.

We want to thank you all our friends & customers.

Our patterns are unique and very easy to knit or crochet!!
The patterns are knitted flat on classic knitting needles- no knitting in the round.

Hobbies, interests: to travel, watch Hollywood classic movies in black and white, to draw, to make toys, to read, to learn something new everyday and about music I love all the music and in special the music from the 80’s.
Cyndi Lauper: “Girls just wanna have fun”
Nena: “99 red balloons”
The Cure: “Why can’t I be you”
Bonno & Frank Sinatra: “I’ve got you under my skin”

Special thank you to my mother Loly Fuertes.
