Get Creative Wtih Chatty Crafters

Our Chatty Crafters evenings are increasing in popularity – just a couple hours for one evening each month gives you the opportunity to bring along any outstanding projects you have on the go and work away at your own pace with like-minded crafters over a cup of tea and a biscuit or two!

There’s always a lovely buzz in the room as we bounce ideas off each other, swap tips and generally catch up with one another’s lives.

Our last Chatty Crafters evening before Christmas is on Tuesday 3^rd December, from 5.30 – 8 pm in the Craft Room at Hobbycraft in Tamworth - and it's completely FREE!

Why not bring along some Christmas ideas – maybe make a card for someone special, or make your own gift tags. Just let us know you’ll be coming by booking here http://www.facebook.com/events/562862987090120/ – we’d hate to not have enough biscuits!

You’re Never Too Old To Learn Something New

Since spending time at the Handmade Boutique, one recurring theme from the lovely people who take time to visit us and buy our products is “ooooh aren’t you all clever”!

It’s wonderful to have our hand-crafted products admired but I often wonder why more people don’t take up the challenge to be more creative themselves. We have a number of courses at The Handmade Boutique and attendees always have a good time, learning a new skill, getting creative and making friends at the same time.

Why not join me on one of my Needle Felting Courses, either in Birmingham or Tamworth. No experience required, and I guarantee you’ll have a great time ….. and leave with something created by you!

Get Crafty, Get Chatty!

Well, hello again you lovely bunch!

How many of you have got craft projects on the go, but never seem to find the time or wherewithal to knuckle down and get truly stuck in? Yes, life gets in the way – kids, partner, holidays, school commitments, work, cooking, cleaning …… I’ve been there, done that and worn the t-shirt many, many times!

If any of this sounds familiar, then it’s time to dig out those part-finished works and join us for our Chatty Crafters Craft Night at Tamworth Hobbycraft on 3^rd September.

Chatty Crafters events offer an informal relaxed atmosphere for you to bring along your projects and get crafting. With other creatives in the room, it’s a great environment to bounce ideas off each other, share tips and advice and spend a couple of hours on whatever you want to achieve.

Past events have seen a mix of paper crafters, embroiders, crocheters, various textile artists and of course, felting! The more the merrier in terms of skills in the room.

And the best thing about Chatty Crafters Craft Night is that it’s FREE! We start at 5.30 pm and finish by 8pm. For more information, and to book your place visit http://ow.ly/o5jkt.

The Sun May Be Shining, But The Festive Season Will Soon Be Upon Us ….

Goooooooooooooood morning!

Now, those of you who know me well enough, read my blogs and follow my social media feeds will know that I like to be organised! With such a lot going on, planning ahead is one of the greatest assets to achievement, which is why I am now looking towards December and the inevitable panic that usually arrives with Christmas.

Yes, we all know that everything will be alright on the night, as the saying goes, but every year, without fail, in the run-up to Christmas there’s always so much to do – often leaving us stressed and fraught by the 25^th December.

Why not make a little time for yourself in the run-up to Christmas by joining me on one of my Christmas Craft Workshops. I’ve got 3 booked – one in October, one in November and one in December. I’ll be showing you, step by step, how to make a totally felt-tastic Christmas Stocking in October, November will be dedicated to all things that will make your presents stand out from the crowd – tags, wraps, cards and bags, and then in December we’ll be making some gorgeous decorations to brighten up your tree and home.

For more information, follow the links below:-

28th November, Birmingham – Tags, Wraps, Cards & Bags - http://ow.ly/njdbP

7th December, Tamworth – Divine Decorations http://ow.ly/njdgv

Just think how proud you’ll feel when your gift wrap and tree hangers draw admiring glances, and for you to be able to say "I made that!”
