Sorry I've been so
quiet of late! I've been mad designing & getting stock ready for
Valentine's Day then I was struck down by a virus! Took me about a week to
recover properly & I couldn't afford any time off from the day job so spent
my evenings in the foetal position on the couch an then I had a birthday which
took up quite a few days! But I'm back now!
Just uploaded lots
of new workshop dates including at the new venues Knit Wise in Ormskirk &
The Rare Bear Boutique on Allerton Road!

| The Rare Bear Boutique |
The first workshop
at Knit Wise was amazing! The ladies where just a dream to teach & Myra
really took care of us even though she was unwell herself! We covered so much
before lunch & everyone went home with their own hand knitted item. It's so
nice to teach in such a traditional knitting shop! There are so few left now
& it's so inspiring being surrounded by all that wool!
Next one at Knit Wise, Ormskirk is this coming Saturday & there is one on Sunday at Quill's Coffee in Liverpool City Centre!
The Rare Bear
Boutique is owned by expect sewing teacher Emma & if you have any occasion,
event, or child of all ages in your life, this is the place to shop! Just off
Allerton Road in South Liverpool, it is a beautiful shop & I'm so lucky
that she wanted to stock my baby comforter blankets there!

| Oh hey guys! |
Monday was another
craft meet at The Everyman Theatre, thEATre! They are free to pop along! Just bring
whatever you are working on, knitting, crochet, sewing, spinning, weaving,
whatever & have a cuppa or a glass of wine. A reward for surviving another
Monday!

I've been
researching & reading up loads on the real health benefits, both
psychological (my degree is in Psychology so big area of interest for me! &
physical. Absolutely fascinating! I was at Edge Hill University on Wednesday
running a stall for their mental health awareness & it was fabulous! I'll be doing a
blog post on my finds next week.
I'm back at Edge Hill University, Monday 23rd for their "Give It A Go" week doing an hours knitting demonstration so if you are there come say hi!
Oh I was also at the Manchester Sticking, Sewing & Hobbycraft Show volunteering for the UK Hand Knitting Association which was a very interesting day but I'll do a whole blog on that later in the week!
Spent a week(!)
coding & redesigning the website & I'm 90% happy with it but I've spent
too long away from my crafting & there's big events to be planning for Mothers Day sneaking up soon! I'm trying to get a real, fully stocked
Etsy shop on the go too so watch this space!
If you have not noticed I've now put in an option to sign up for our newsletter! It will give you a heads up on what's new events wise, new product designs & offers! I'm aiming to send 2 a month so you wont be inundated with emails!
Love Gemma x
