Hi, I am Joy and my partner in creating, is Karen, who also happens to be my identical twin sister, and together we make up the team at Kazzalblue!
When we were growing up my sister and I watched our Mum make things. She could make anything! And so, the desire to create spread until we could not just sit and watch but wanted to join in. We would help (and sometimes hinder) in any way possible, as only a young child can! We cut fabric, played with wool and opened a pretend shop to sell our wares to unsuspecting family members who could not say no. As we grew up we learnt to sew and knit and make our own beautiful products, just as our Mum had done. And now the shop is real and our crafts have been refined.
Although we now both use fabric and woollen mediums it wasn't always that way. I have a preference for wool and have used it to make toys and clothes for little ones, developing some of my own original patterns along the way. Some of my favourite products I have designed are my own original handknitted baby boots, my awesomely cute while still educational finger puppets and the Kazzalblue Bunny. It has been a real highlight for me to have my Kazzalblue Bunny featured in a series of Television advertisements for Fisher & Paykel both in Australia and New Zealand.

Karen prefers fabrics for her creations making her own clothes and often a few for me too :) Now she creates the cutest wee outfits for little ones, bags of all descriptions and quilts from gorgeous designer fabrics and her passion for designer fabrics has now developed into a new project which you can read about at Fabrics4u2. We also enjoy making dolls and softies.
We want our Kazzalblue customers to be confident that they are receiving a quality product which has been handmade with love, taking time and care to ensure a great product. We want you to be excited to receive and open your parcel and to adore what you find inside.
We are looking forward to making new products and have some custom releases scheduled for throughout the year. You can follow us on Pinterest or Instagram with the links below or just send us a convo and we will get back to you
