About Us

Hi there, my name is Lindsey - Linz to those that know me, which I am sure that you soon will.

I've been "crafting" now for a few years and was introduced to Scrapbooking in 2003, once bitten I was totally hooked and it is such an easy step from cardmaker to scrapbooker and back again.

The reason I decided to open up my own shop was that I kept finding that I had to buy a large pack of goods just to get the one or two bits I wanted, then I was left with loads of stuff just sitting around not being used - sound familiar. Well I don't have that big a house so whilst it was nice to have all these goodies I soon found I was running out of room. That got me to thinking that I was probably not the only one that had this problem, I thought what if someone was to sell things in smaller packages and so Weenie Bits was born. The following year we opened a shop in Stonehouse, Glos and decided to change the name to Crafty Pastimes as I was too chicken to have customers asking to see my "Weenie Bits".

I am trying to find the more unusual things to stock rather than trying to compete against the bigger shops, but sometimes I will hold the same items. You will find that we have lots of small embellishments such as charms, eyelets and brads in single packs. If you need something in particular and can not see it then contact me and I will see if I'm able to obtain it for you.

The pages will be updated regularly as new stock is coming in - so don't forget to come and check up often to see what I have.

Registered customers who chose to will receive a newsletter giving details of any new items and also future promotions including discounts etc.
