TRADERS SPOTLIGHT - 

HOOK MY LIFE

Reevive Vintage, Retro, Upcycled & Craft  Fair -  Saltburn-by-the-Sea, 6th May 2023  

Introducing Hook My Life and its creative crafter Verity. 

‘Hook My Life’ is the craft-driven, unruly brainchild of myself, Verity Norval; Vet Nurse,  Musician, Runner (sort of) and strung-out mother of two with an unaddressed yarn, bead  and fat quarter addiction.  

I have always crocheted on and off having been taught by my Grandma, but my tiny business grew out of necessity over lock down where I found crochet and wine were the two things that kept me from completely losing my mind. Having spent much of the pandemic under my own sofa cushions singing ‘Baby Shark’ with a 1-year-old, 3-year-old and a bottle of Pinot, I started making them characters from their favourite books to direct my focus away from the horror of the daily Covid updates. Then I made them clothes (because I was skint). Then I made Birthday/Christmas gifts (because I was skint). Then my friends started asking me to make them things (so I could be less skint) until eventually it was suggested that I sell my makes to the public. I was instantly horrified but, somehow, ‘Hook My Life’ emerged.  

I make what I’d like to buy but can’t find. I also make what excites me, what I need and what brings me joy and hope someone else out there might enjoy it too. I’m inspired by vintage, bohemian, goth and alternative styles and I try to bring crochet up to date so it needn’t remain in the realms of doilies and dog blankets.  

As well as yarn, I’ve also worked with tie-dye, resin, polymer clay, beads, paracord, jewellery and sewing. I’m still exploring what works but I’ve found one of my most popular items is the ‘Worry Monster’. As an adult with diagnosed generalised anxiety disorder, I wish these had existed when I was a child. They allow kids to write down their troubles onto paper and place them into the monster’s mouth so he/she can eat them away.  

The environment is a very important consideration for ‘Hook My Life’ and I seek to limit my plastic use wherever I can. My packaging is paper-based and I am exploring making and using yarn made from old t-shirts for future projects. I also upcycle pre-loved clothing and re-use textiles from unwanted items such as buttons, zips and fabric.  

‘Hook My Life’ is still evolving from it’s lockdown beginnings but I have so far loved the process and I can only hope vintage-lovers out there will continue to give my makes a home. There will be many more to come since nothing makes me happier than picking up a skein and hook!  

With love!  

Verity 

Get yourself down to the ReeVive Fair at the Saltburn Community & Arts Centre on Saturday, 6th May 2023 and see Veritys creations.

BECKY COOKE

Reevive Vintage, Retro, Upcycled & Craft Fair -  Saltburn-by-the-Sea, 6th May 2023

Becky Cooke is an up & coming Singer based in Lingdale, North Yorkshire.  

From an early age Becky has had a deep passion for all things Music - her up bringing was always going to spark Musical interest with Becky being the daughter of 2 Singers so nobody was shy of belting out a tune in the Family household.  

Becky is a versatile Artist who not only writes and performs original material but has also Coached other Musicians and worked on everything from Soul, Funk, Country and Pop to even more House and energetic Dance music with local Duo Neon Blue & Kinson.   

Looking to the future, Becky dreams of taking to the Stage and connecting with more and more people not only close to Home in Teesside but all over the World like local Musician James Arthur. 

We’ve had the great pleasure to spend time with Becky and her equally talented Family at Gigs and over a few beers so took the opportunity to ask her a few questions to get to know where all this passion comes from. 

When did you start singing? 

‘’I started singing at 4 years of age, at school I always sang in plays and musicals. I grew up with music always playing in my house as my mum and dad sang and played guitar, they performed professionally and were the most popular duo in the area for a long time. They performed as the duo ‘Young at Heart’. My Dad is still a professional musician.  

‘’I was always keen to sing at open mic nights and got solo gigs until at 17 years old I was asked to front a band called ‘Cookie and the Buzz’. After that I gigged as a duo with Dean Heslop for a while’’ 

What do you like about Singing & Music?  

‘’I love singing and writing my own songs, it comes naturally to me. Music is a big part of my life. I’m currently recording my first album of my own songs’’ 

Which Songs are your most requested?  

‘’I sing a whole range of genres, but I would say Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush and House of the Rising Sun by the Animals’’ 

Who have been the major influences in your music career? 

‘’I would say Michael Jackson and Beyonce’’ 

What’s next in your singing career?

‘’I released two songs in 2022 with ‘Neon Blue & Kinson’ called “Stay” and “Smile” which are available on spotify and other streaming channels. 

‘’I am now in the process of recording an album which I am hoping will be available this summer. They are all my own songs and cover a wide range of genres Reggae, Pop, Ballads, Soul etc... In between that I am available for events and functions and I am always on the lookout for gigs to perform locally’’ 

‘’I’m really looking forward to singing at the Reevive Fair, where I will be singing a whole range of genres from 60s to current, as well as my own songs. I’ll be performing four 30 minute sets throughout the day’’ 

Where can people contact you if they are interested in hearing your songs and booking you for a gig?
