Have you done your Christmas shopping yet?…

I don't know how organised you are but I can't start thinking about Christmas until around now so I thought I'd let you know about some forthcoming events where you can find me. I will be at the Alwyn and Courthouse PTA Christmas Fair this Saturday, 26th November, from midday until 3pm and then at… Continue reading Have you done your Christmas shopping yet?…

Bobbing along…

November 10, 2011 Julie GardnerLeave a comment

Today I've been thinking about what other things I can stock on my stall at forthcoming Christmas events and I was inspired by Ella Johnston's beautiful Fab Four Robin stationery. Have a look at her wonderful products in her shop: http://folksy.com/shops/ellajohnstonart. I came up with two designs for robins, one cheating a bit and using the… Continue reading Bobbing along…

Cuddly Christmas trees…

November 2, 2011November 5, 2011 Julie GardnerLeave a comment

I spent the day in front of the computer yesterday as well as taking lots of photos for my folksy shop (nearly there, promise!) and really, really missed doing something creative. So I took a trip to the sewing shop this morning and bought some red cotton fabric to make some more hanging Christmas trees.… Continue reading Cuddly Christmas trees…

Pretty Christmas trees…

I had some spare time today so I decided to make a few more lavender decorations for tonight. As it's a Christmas shopping event I thought pretty Christmas trees would be just the thing, ahhhh! I might have to keep one of these for myself though...

A couple of weeks ago I ran a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow
Another large empire lampshade recovered this week. Using @clarke_clarke_interiors Linoso II in charcoal. A nice contrast against the pink flowers!
Gorgeous gorgeous lampshade in the sunshine 🌞
Hmmmm! Little Rosie is a pickle. Into everything! But I'm managing to make lampshades in between stopping the digging and chewing (she's very vocal, I tell her off and she barks back 🤣)
I'm looking forward to teaching a lampshade workshop @toast_marlow tomorrow evening. Six attendees will be learning to make a small drum lampshade from a selection of lovely @toast fabric remnants. Can't wait! 🌞🌞🌞
I hope you're enjoying this warm spell! Our garden is going crazy, lots of colourful flowers and the veg patch is coming along nicely. I love picking lettuce for lunch every day and am looking forward to peas, raspberries, chard, sweetcorn, tomatoes, cucumbers, French beans and lots more 😋
