I had a day off today
It's been sweeping through my circle of friends like an easily transmitted disease. Roisin was heavily afflicted when I first met her and symptoms were apparent and obvious. Zoëwas a carrier, but recently the symptoms have started to become more pronounced. Then it took Amy. She seemed to be weathering it well, until last Christmas, when she gave up fighting it altogether (I feel a bit bad about...
We're on Cloud 9
We took delivery of an exciting parcel from America the other day...

Our first fabric shipment from Cloud 9

Since then, we have seen beautiful photos on Instagram from Roisin, Kit tweeted us her fabulous Washi dress (more Washi patterns on their way this soon, sorry we've sold out!) and Zoë made thismarvelous frock from The Mortmain pattern (again, we've sold out, but fear not! they should be back...

The weekend is a blur.
We had so much fun this weekend! We had a lovely group of Hens in the studio, they were creating Embroidery Hoop Art under Zoë & Amy's expert tutelage. Check out our ever-growing pinterest board  for ideas if you fancy having a go at home, or come along to our next workshop if you would like some inspiration or guidance - as well as unfettered access to our stash of trims and scraps!

Changes afoot
I totally forgot it was Friday on Friday, so Friday Finds didn't happen this week I'm sorry. Which is a shame, because we found some beautiful new retro bits, but they'll have to wait until next week now.

We've been preparing for the C-Word around here. Amy and Zoë have been busily making and planning. I've been carding up new wooden brooches - this one is my favourite:

'Hey, I'm walkin' here'

We've...
Back to School
Back to school! Shiny new shoes, blazers that are a bit too big, hair brushed neat and tidy. Time to learn new things and make new friends. If, like us, you're a bit old for school, maybe you could try one of our new workshops?

Fiona Murray rocks my world.
I mean it. She really does. I'm going to show you a bunch of beautiful pictures. Those of you who have seen our craft studio will know that it's kinda pretty, a bit scruffy, full of clutter character and probably...
All the satchels of the rainbow...
We took it in turns to pop down to the town hall for the Save the Children gig yesterday. I'll be honest, we did more buying than selling! Foot fall was poor, but it gave us a good opportunity to...
Sunglasses required
We have new wrapping/crafting paper in stock! This lot includes some fabulous neons and liberty-esque florals. We had to wear our sunglasses as we were rolling them up, but we love them!Roisin is participating in 'Me Made May' this year,...
