About Us

Yvette and Cheryl are a very talented artistic Mother/Daughter  team.  

Yvette is a retired registered nurse.  She began at a very young age knitting sweaters for her Barbie dolls, then later for her children.  She expanded into sewing, crocheting, cross stitch, woodworking and most recently, dollhouse building and petit point.  She became interested in miniatures in 2016 and purchased her first dollhouse kit. She has always done various crafts, and now enjoys the numerous crafts that go into dollhouses. She began designing dollhouse rugs in 2018.

Cheryl has always had a knack for art, and could draw very realistic pictures when very young.  She is a University of Waterloo Bachelor of Arts graduate and artist. Painting is her first love but she also enjoys many other crafts such as crocheting, petit point and sewing. She began experimenting with painting miniature art at Yvette's suggestion.  She has now done some wonderful Miniature artwork.

In 2018 Yvette began stitching her first dollhouse rug but wasn't content stitching someone else's design.  She wanted to design and stitch her own creations.  To this end, she purchased a stitch design program and began designing rugs and cushions for her dollhouses.  She now has many designs, and began talking with Cheryl about the possibility of selling her designs.  Cheryl also wanted to begin selling her art.

They decided to join forces, and the idea for Double the Fun Crafts was born. They officially opened their Etsy shop on January 11, 2019.
