Pauline Millard turns a therapeutic hobby into a business after life-changing road accident.
After a serious crash left a Yorkshire woman fighting for her life, a doctor told her that finding a hobby to focus on would be the key to her recovery.
However, faced with a future without a job and the ability to move freely, Pauline started to experiment with making everyday items, some no bigger than the size of a fingernail. "My car rolled down all the fields and I ended up in Hull Royal for four months- I had a hell of a road to recovery." "I thought about it and I liked the dolls house in the loft, so I set to and started making miniatures."Pauline admitted her first "rubbish" attempt was destined for the bin, but her next go at crafting a tiny haberdashery counter with fabrics was successful.
Now, her inventory consists of 9mm jars of Marmite, thimble-sized fruit and vegetables, and tiny tins to stock a miniature pantry.The 150ft shop, which has grown from a workspace a fraction of the size, attracts customers from all over the world, which means Pauline is constantly busy. She said: "This hobby is very therapeutic and it helps me with my mental health, it has been the best thing that could have happened to me.
