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'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!!
