Crafting & Socialising
So we've been having a think about our workshops. You all seemed to really enjoy the craft party, which had more of a 'Come and play with us!' feel, rather than a 'Come and learn from us!' feel to it. We have been toying with applying that idea to our craft workshops.

Pom-pom Tutorial
We sell snazzy pom-pom makers in the shop, that make it quick and easy to churn out a few in no time at all! Those of you who came along to #craftpartyleam might have played with them in the craft lounge. We love pom-poms! They have -almost- as many applications as washi tape!

It's been a bit manic.

The last few weeks have whizzed by. We were insanely busy getting the Etsy Craft Party sorted. Then I had to get my VAT return done (I hate it, but at least it means I'm never more than 3 months behind on accounts work...). Things started to return to normal last week. We had a lovely knit & natter on Thursday with three new faces. Then Saturday came, and with it back to back workshops, with...
A thing of beauty
Remember the Berylune banner in rainbow ordered retro fabric from Fiona's beautiful pictures?


Amy decided to make a retro-patchwork-rainbow lamp shade as an example for Saturday's workshop. Naturally.
