Our story

I'm Rachelle, and I live in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia with my daughter, dog, gecko, husband and a million plants. 

Rumple Bumpkin is the nickname my husband gave to Guimauve (Guimi), my Frenchie back when when she was a snuggly, wrinkly little pup. Since Guimi sticks to me like velcro when I'm busy crafting, the name "Rumple Bumpkin" stuck too.

By day I am a public school Teacher-Librarian, a nature explorer and plant nurturer.  When the sun sets, I craft to relax. Crafting is my meditation, my creative outlet and my passion! I love to draw, paint, felt, knit, weave, sculpt and bead. I have a closet full of craft bins, and a head full of inspiration and ideas. Lately, the beading has become a "thing". The kind of thing that I'm obsessed with. The kind of thing I want to share with others! Each of my pieces is unique and  completely handmade. I source my crafting materials from Canadian & Indigenous suppliers.  All fittings are hypoallergenic, and nickel-free for those with sensitive ears (like mine). My goal is to create pretty things that make me smile, and make others smile too! Thank you for supporting my hobby.
