Catch up time!

Where do I start.......

I made a few things for The Contemporary Crafts Shopping Experience, which included this Blue Face Leicester hat and quite a few felted flowers.

Sorry theres no one wearing it. It sold before I could get round to getting a model.

Just one of the flowers.
The Exhibition was a great success and there were many people returning and buying from last year.

Iv been working working hard on my exhibition piece for the NEC next year. Unfortunately I cant post any photos of it yet as my lecturer wants to keep things a bit hush-hush until nearer the time. We have a great amount of work to do for the Fashion Embroidery and Stitch Exhibition and near-enough all the students are working towards it. As you may guess I'm working on two big pieces. I might tease you with some partial pictures later on.

I'm in print! Our Fashion Embroidery and Stitch Exhibition 2010 pieces were published in the Workbox Magazine this month.

"Ditzy Dorisena" on the first page right hand corner. Also a little piece on how she was made.

I'm now working on some final orders and then Christmas pressies. So ill talk to you soon.

Big Thankyou!

I'm really chuffed to announce that My British Legion Poppies have raised £40 for this charity. Thank you to everyone that bought one.

Other things that have been happening!

This last week has been manic! I supported my daughters school with there first pamper party. It was a lovely night and well attended.

The Christmas Stocking and Angel felting workshop was on Sunday. We had some great results and quite a few laughs...... as we do!

These are a few of the results. As per usual I forgot to take photos and a few of the ladies had gone home, so I'm sorry that there not all here.

And today.... Iv been to Judge Meadows Community College in Evington, Leicester to show them how to felt. It was a manic hour, but it was great to see the students felting and adding there own designs.
