“We took some fantastic pictures, here is Jackie’s Tuscan delight… simply stunning. Again Jackie had done done a wet felted-needle embellished picture before, however I think you will agree its simply beautiful.
The new winter courses have been released and are on the website, they have gained much interest particularly the cobweb scarves and hats, places have begun already to get booked up… so if you fancy a lovely day of felt-making I would recommend you book soon .

I’m all for crochet on the go at any time and it being summer and hot has not put me off crocheting by any means - who says you need to crochet warm clothing?! I make the most of the summery weather by bringing my crochet projects with me wherever I go - on the train, to the park, to the pub. Nothing beats sitting in the shade in the park or outside the pub with some nice light weight yarn, hook in hand, making stitch after stitch. Time is relaxed and breezy on afternoons like this.
Summertime is the perfect time to concentrate on crochet accessories and smaller projects. I’m currently making jewellery - earrings and a necklace.
It is also the perfect time to crochet flowers. Crochet flowers are perfect for embellishing all manner of items, as well as sewing them together to make bracelets and necklaces. At the moment, I am also crocheting my sister’s wedding bouquet! (pics to follow).
Summer is also the ideal time to make amigurumi. I just love Cute Design’s Amigurumi Black Penguin on MyEhive - what better way to cool down in summer than making a chilled little penguin. There are so many cute little amigurumis that you could make, you should have no problem keeping busy all summer long. :)
So you see it’s easy to continue to crochet during the sunshiny days - just choose something light weight (no-one wants to be buried under a half-made afghan in the heat of summer) and keep on crocheting.
If after reading this, you’re thinking - ’I wish I could crochet’ or ‘I wish I could crochet more flowers or amigurumi’, why not come to a workshop and learn how! Get in touch for more information.
Enjoy the weather (while it lasts) and get those crochet hooks back out of hiding.

(via toddsampson) Imagine a department store that does not carry national brands - Trader Joe’s: my fav american store is the best-uber-successful example of this. Showing us the way forward as the rise of the anti-brand gains momentum - myehive.com is like its online equivalent! Population education? I wonder if my home town of Letchworth Garden City would get one?
We hope to see you at Handmade Winchester! We are filming the second episode of ‘Make A Living Doing What you Love’ and looking forward to meeting you all. Please drop me a line if you would like to be included in our 30 second interview spots. It’s free and great publicity for your business!
