As promised a progress update with photos...update on courses

Hi everyone,

as promised the first photos of the new felt making boutique in its raw stage before any of the decorating took place. Since these photos were taken we have painted all the wood panelling, the window and door, so its really beginning to look more like the boutique I am aiming for... more photos coming soon.

This side of the arch is where my supplies will be and if you look through the arch that's where I will be holding our fun felt workshops and courses.

I will be posting 2 dates for beginners bags and 2 dates for beginners jewellery later this week. the days will be a Thursday and Saturday.

All 4 will be held during the second half of march.

Courses will cost £49.00 for a full day starting from 9.30am and will finish around 4pm, all materials and equipment are included in the course price including refreshments, biscuits and cakes. All you need to do is bring yourself and a packed lunch or treat yourself to a tasty meal at one of the restaurants. If you would like to reserve your place, please email me here, with a subject header beginners bag/jewellery, your name, email and telephone number and you can be one of the first.

Course location is at The Heart of The Country Shopping Village nr Lichfield. Full postal address and directions can be found on the website.

At the end of the day you will have a completed bag or a number of jewellery projects.

There are good B & B's locally so, if you live afar why not make a short break of it and take in some of the wonderful sights Staffordhsire and Lichfield have to offer. You would also be ideally placed for fabulous shopping at Birmingham.

Update on progress.......

Hi everyone,

I just thought I would share how progress is going for the launch of the new felt-making boutique. I have been over at the boutique most of this last week and have begun phase one, which is the re-decoration phase. This week with a little help from my friends I have finished the painting of all the half height wood panelling, which has been painted in a colour called white chocolate. I have chosen a very pale subtle duck egg blue for the window ledge, window and door.

All is looking really fresh and fab... though I have a long way to go yet, as I need to paper feature walls, polish floors and move furniture in.

I am popping over again tmrw briefly to take some photos of progress so far, though it is filled with paint tins, brushes and rollers and present, but it should give you a feel for the place.

I will be firming up some course dates very soon and will be posting these on the blog... so be sure to stay tuned for news and events.
