Just before Christmas I discovered that my patterns have been stolen again, last time this happened I got so upset it made me unwell so I'm determined that wont happen to me this time.
I am actively doing what I can to get them to stop but there are many factors making this a difficult process.
I have to be honest its really making the pattern designing experience unpleasant for me and if it wasn't my main income I would consider giving it up.
I will name the website/company below for anyone who wants to call them out on what they are doing as they advertise on facebook and they are selling many different creators work including well known designers like Bella Coco and Of Mars.
They are called lovablicraft so if you see anything advertised under this name or if you see the website please know they are making money from designers who have not given permission for there work to be sold.
I know in the grand scheme of life and with the terrible things going on in this world today this seems like a small issue but for a single Mum like me who genuinely works really hard to create these patterns for my living this hurts me in more ways than one.


House Of Leo Craft was created after I decided one day not to wait any longer and to truly and fully follow my passions for crochet and crafting.
I'm Lucy and I have been an avid crocheter, maker and crafter, designing and selling my creations for over 20 years.
I absolutely love crafts of all kinds so I wanted to create a space where I can share my passions with the world and create a community of like minded people who can share ideas and encourage each other.
I have started the journey of creating YouTube tutorials which I absolutely love to do (much to my surprise!) And I'm now also writing and selling my own patterns which is new to me also as I used to freehand everything so writing it all down has opened a whole new world for me that I can share with the crochet community and its been a wonderful experience so far.
Crochet isn't my only passion, I also love sewing and for many years designed and sold my own clothing range and I'm also really into macrame.
I enjoy both micro macrame jewellery making and macrame home decor, one of my favorite pieces I've ever made is a large macrame wall hanging, it took me months to make as a new Mummy and I'm really proud of it.
I'm also really keen to learn new skills like pottery, basketry and wood turning and want to share my experiences of this with you. I'm so excited to see where this new creative chapter of my life will lead and hopefully along the way I can teach some skills and make some new creative friends

I have crochet patterns for sale (all designed by myself)
with new patterns being added monthly
I also have some beautiful handcrafted, fair trade crochet hooks,
hand made by talented craftsmen in India.
