My new painted reclaimed timber houses

I will be bringing some new dotty giraffes

I have chosen not to do many markets this year. My boys have needed me to be around. And I've been able to focus a bit more on wholesale with a new partnership. The Designers Agency. I also have a new part-time job at Lilly & Lolly. It's a position I LOVE, with a group of people that make turning up to work, not work at all. Such a blessing.

So, when I do a market... it's gotta be a good one. And this one definitely is. Run by the amazing Mel. It is fun, quick and full of great stalls.

slippers

I made a pair of these slippers earlier in the year. I LOVE them. And happily wear them around the house most days. When they are too dirty, I throw them in the wash. I've decided to share the process of sewing the slippers in my Studio next week. Bookings will open on Wednesday. So put Nov 1st in your diary and check back in a few days to secure a place at the retreat.
The other photo... random shot of myself and one of the boys on holidays recently (very windy day).

scarborough art show

It's on again this weekend, in the beautiful seaside town of Scarborough. I will have my products there for sale.

sleepy foxes

Here's my new little sleepy fox. My first print run is in pink/orange. My second might be a little different. I'm thinking copper and metallic blue. We will have to see if the printer will be on board with that!

Can you see that photo behind? A print by my very clever friend, Alison. You can purchase her prints here.

New exciting news for shop owners: if you would like to purchase my sewn goods wholesale... you can do so here at The Designers Agency. Contact Jennie and she will help you out!

1st studio retreat

That was fun! Thanks to the lovely crafty girls who came to my first studio retreat. Also a big thanks to my intern, Amelia, for all her help (especially the unpicking!).

studio craft retreat

The Studio is done, the landscaping is still a work in progress and it's time to test the waters with a little retreat! Limited to 6 people so I can see how it all works out in my new space. We will be making my favourite bag - the small lunch tote. All fabrics and the sewing pattern will be included in the cost of the retreat. Bookings here.

Lately

I've been on instagram and the poor little blog has been very neglected. A story that is being heard all over blog land. So, I'll pop some pics in of the past few months. With a promise of a proper blog post very soon!
