March Stall in Newcastle

I am really excited to reveal that this Sunday I will be showing my crafts and design pieces in Newcastle. Pop down and say hello :)

Matthew Williamson

Ahh a lovely spotting of designer Matthew Williamson's bags in aid of sports relief 2012. The bags are beautifully patterned with a tropical design just what we need to kick start the weather in preparation of summer. It is available in 3 assorted colours from Sainsbury's now at just £5!

March

Wow it is March already, it has come Round at a rapid speed. So far in March I am continually working hard on the job front as well as progressing more designs for an upcoming stall this weekend in Newcastle :) I am very excited as well as hopefully another stall in April too.

Recently I have been enticed into pattern books for inspiration for another card collection in mind for Easter :) so keep those peepers peeled for new incoming designs :)

My studio

A peek into my studio that for once is not overwhelmed by flying cut fabrics, scattered pins and needles or me asleep on the chair ;)

Craft, Hobby and Stitch International

Recently I attended this years craft, hobby and stitch international to observe what techniques and styles were upcoming. It was a very interesting day and it was very exciting to see so much going on, the use of new card designs, lots of buttons, buttons and buttons, fabric and excitingly for myself...KNITTING AND CROCHET .... and so much more. I only managed to grab a few snaps here.

But soon here will be the Pulse trade fair, Top Drawer and the Autumn fair during the summer period. Which hopefully i will be able to attend to see what's new and incoming new trends, designs and so much more to see!

Libby McMullin

One of my favourite designers to watch, Libby McMullin designs are fresh and has that make believe fairytale approach. The colour palette is always subtle and sweet, along with a little delicate touch.

 Here are some of my favourites of her beautiful new card designs.

February

In the last few weeks I have been getting creative in preparing for my next upcoming handmade stall. Here are a few bits I am currently working on :)


I have also being getting a little crafty with card designs and hand sewing which hopefully I will reveal very soon.
