Jo's Summer Bright-Summer Fresh fabulous first time felted bag...

The lovely Jo is todays featured first time maker with her fabulous first time felted bag.  I just love the summer bright feel of this bag and the flower design which reminds of a little of of the type of effect you get when you make fimo clay beads!!

Thank you Jo for being such great company and for sharing your fabulous first time make with us.

Stunning Mothers day corsages and cards...

Good morning lovely makers, creators and generally lovely people... today I thought I would share with you the fabulous Mothers Day corsages and Mothers Day greetings cards that were made on Saturdays course. it was a fab day and we had a lovely group, including Sharon and her Husband Lee yes thats right Lee as in male!! it was so lovely to see husband and wife working together as a team and supporting each other and both made stunning corsages.  With such lovely corsages being given away I wanted to make sure that our lovely makers had time to make a little something for themselves. after all that hard work it was nice that they each could get to take away a little something to remember the day by.

My thanks to all the lovely makers for being such great company and for making such wonderful makes.

Clothes Show Diary day 1

Hello lovely makers and creators, just thought I would start the Clothes Show Diaries off with a pic of my stand just before we opened on day 1.  The atmosphere was electric and we all waited with anticipation to hear the announcement that the Clothes Show was well and truly open.

Gok Wan was there to get the show off to a great start by getting the fashion theatre up and running. Gok was also on site for a book signing and yes he is every bit the fashionista in person as he appears to be on our screens.

Luckily we were situated not far from the Company Catwalk Stage which kicked off with fabulous catwalk shows and celebrity presenters.  More news from the Catwalk and SKNITCH interviews in later posts.

But for now I will leave you to prepare for tomorrows fab Christmas Stocking Course.

Beginners Bag Making Private Course

Morning all well am just back from a mammoth 6 day, yes 6 day show at the NEC the Clothes Show Live.  Will be bringing you the Clothes Show Diaries very soon.

Well before I went to the show I had a lovely group of ladies who had booked a private course.  Jenny Mathews and her group of lovely friends came to the boutique for a lovely day of felting, to celebrate a milestone achievement of surviving a terrible illness.

The day was fabulous fun and I think you will agree that all the ladies makes are stunning, we have two  ladies who chose the Rosa Rosa bag shape, Jenny who chose the Dolly Daisy bag Shape and last but not least the U-ooh bag shape.

Photo Shoot for editorial piece today...

Good morning lovely makers and creators, well today I have a photographer coming to take some updated photos for the follow on editorial going out in Novembers Village Market Newspaper.  So had to get up extra early to groom suitably for a photo shoot, I much rather be behind the camera taking the shots than in front of it... but who am I to argue if people want to take the time to do it!!!

Keep you posted on developments.

This weeks courses fabulous bag making on Thursday and slippers on Sunday.
