Epsom Enterprise Market - 27th November 2011

Things are rather manic at the moment hence I've not been very active on my blog spot or at my online shop................reason being is that I'm taking part in the new monthly Epsom Enterprise Market so am busy getting things ready.

It is on Sunday 27th November 2011 between 10am and 4pm in the market place in the centre of Epsom.

I'll have a selection of my items for sale so if you're in the area please come and see me. As this will be the last Enterprise Market before Christmas I'll have handmade items to buy that will make ideal Christmas presents. You'll still be able to buy items afterwards from my online shop, and also I will consider taking special Christmas gift orders at the Market.

Here's hoping it will be a dry day!

Embroidered English Lavender Bags - more designs

As I purchased a large bag of English Lavender I'm working hard on a number of different designs to embroider onto the bags so I can use up the lavender!
Design 2 and 3 have been completed and I've made up into 5 bags of each design. Design 2 is now available on my online shop along with Design 1.
I'm currently working on Design 4 which will be in hand embroidery.

These will make ideal gifts for family or friends or just for you.

Drawn to Threads online shop NOW OPEN

My online shop at Folksy is NOW OPEN, although there will be limited items for sale initially until I juggle the time between making things and getting them entered onto the computer.

Under Construction

I'm an 'arty'person rather than a techno wizard, so this blog lark is all new to me, so please bear with me whilst I try to master it and get my blog up and running! Any comments or advice most welcome.

I'll be aiming to add photos of my work once I've worked out the best way to present these on my blog.


Watch this space for the launch date of my 'Drawn to Threads' shop on Folksy.
