Beginners Bag Making was a hoot...


Hi everyone, just thought I would share some pics from recent bag making courses, featured from top to bottom:  Ian's bag... yes that is correct Ian, as is a man, made the lovely pink polka dot clutch bag as modeled by his lovely girlfriend Karen, last but not least is Jane's bag with a stunning floral design.

So come on men don't be put off and think felt-making is for girls, come and have a go and earn a million brownie points by making a bag, bowl, jewellery or slippers (to name but a few of the courses)  for your loved one.

See the list of the summer courses on the left, they are filling up fast!  Contact Lisa on 0845 543 9046 or email: info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk

Courtyard to front of boutique gets a makeover :)


Hi everyone, just thought I would share an update on the progress of the works being carried out to the front courtyard outside the boutique.  The workmen from Stylehouse Design  are doing a fantastic job and the new courtyard is beginning to take shape.

I have been particularly impressed with how polite and courteous the workers have been, always being mindful of the surrounding environment and understanding that business still needs to be conducted.  The Stylehouse team have made massive progress in a short space of time including dealing with the unexpected, the team have also worked consistently and unlike many laborers there has been no use of colourful language.

The team seem incredibly dedicated to the task in hand and nothing has been too much trouble for them.  The works have been carefully planned to allow customers to move about the centre safely.  Thought and care was given to the removal of debris from the site making sure little disturbance was felt by the customers. Stylehouse have also taken care to secure tools and tidy up at the end of the day.

I will be back at a later date with an update and more photos.

Slipper Last Exchange Scheme



Morning everyone, just a quick note to tell you about the new slipper last exchange scheme that I have just introduced into the slipper courses.  If you attend a slipper course you get a pair of slipper lasts included in the cost which you get to keep and take home with you. If once you have completed the course you decide you are not likely to make another pair, you can return the slipper lasts in exchange for a bag of wool.

The reason I decided to put this scheme in place is to help reduce the number of lasts needed to be made and in some small way help the environment.  The returned slippers can then be used by someone else.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the new scheme, if you think its a sensible way to go and if you would be likely to participate.
