we have mostly been making creatures . . . in preparation for a craft fair on 24th and 25th july at Harrow Arts Centre. so if you are around the area pop in. there will be loads of art activities for kids too. should be a fun filled day.

this one has been designed by my clever son, Arun.

watering can

just been too busy to notice that the geraniums are in flower . . .

july has been a busy month so far, lots of school fairs and craft fairs. we have met some lovely people along the way. i do love my 'job'

gold is the sun

we are taking a week off. been working hard, now it is time to enjoy the sun and recharge. : )

crazy creatures

we have had some new orders and so the family has grown . . .

expanding the mind

we have just spent a wonderful day attending a course for crafters at ferrers gallery with the wonderful Rachael Chambers. we learnt alot about being more 'business' minded. as we all know us crafters are hopeless at selling ourselves, so it was a real insight! it was also great to meet some really lovely fellow crafts people.

we have a commission for a pink and purple felt ball necklace, so i thought i'd take a few 'pink and purple' photo's from the garden as inspiration . . .

we're back!

we have been really busy preparing for a few fairs over the last few weeks, hence the quiet! it's all over now and we did really well, sold loads . . . but now have to start making again!! luckily we LOVE what we do and are excited at making some new things.

we also launched our 'crazy creatures'! custom made creatures, designed by children and made using upcycled fabrics. we will get some photo's up soon!

hot off the press . . . felt swirl beads and a gorgeous flower. love it so much, i want to keep it for myself!!
