MADELEINE
HELEN INDIA
BOUGHTON
Hi, I’m Madeleine (Maddy) Helen
India Boughton. In 2021, during
the lockdown, I was looking for a
creative hobby to fill my time. I
have been diagnosed with Autism
plus OCD and suffer severely from
anxiety and low self-confidence
after experiencing bullying in
school.
After
discovering
crocheting, I quickly became
obsessed and slowly regained my
self-confidence. I started my
business with the encouragement
and support of family and friends.
My business, craftsbymaddy is
aimed at people of all ages. I
specialise in making affordable
crocheted animals and dolls and
custom products. I don't have a
big vision. The only thing I wish
for is for myself to gain some
enjoyment from the things I make,
and to see people's happy faces
makes it worth it.
