Happy 100 !

It would seem I have written a lot of posts and this is the hundredth........was that me ?
'Want to come round and see the studio for Christmas ? It'll be open on Sunday the 8th December... The fire will be on, the red stuff will be mulling and I'm making ecclefechan tarts ( posh mince pies). AND the Museum will be open and candlelit....and there will be my own little christmas decorations for sale.

..and it's not just me either . The whole of my bonkers little artist community will be showing plus our artist neighbours. 'just a bit of shameless self-promotion you understand.

Handmadedashery at The Knit and Stitch Show

Thankyou to everyone who came , I had a lovely time...very tired now.
 Etsy is stocked up again but if there is something I've missed out please contact me.

Free !

Yes, anyone who buys a set of these buttons (at the Knit and Stitch Show) gets a free embroidery kit !
They were inspired by a text I saw on a very old quilt,
   'I have loved thee with an everlasting love, therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee' (Jeremiah).
These buttons are hand drawn onto reclaimed kid leather...that is to say the leather that was left after I made the 'Lost Glove' buttons and Lilith the fortune teller doll !

..the kit is a beginners embroidery kit to make a pin cushion/scissor keep.

One week to go

....less than a week in fact.........the Knit and Stitch Show at Alexandra Palace,London October 10-13th.  I am stand TGI7 in the gallery hall which you can get to quickly by turning left in the lobby (this is a hot tip for anyone arriving in the morning as most head straight for the main hall and are swallowed alive !!!!). I have a whole new range of 'Handmadedashery' including the sewing kit above , pin cushion rings , moulded beeswax and these......
