I'm on holiday until Monday 1st August - and other news...

Betty Bags now in the Astarte Gallery, Petworth


The Astarte Gallery at The Old Bank House, Market Square in Petworth has now kindly taken my Betty Bags for sale, together with my new shoe clips (more details coming soon!).  I will be showcasing some more of my work there at a later date, I believe with other local artists and creaters.


Please go and have a browse, and meet Jackie Tudor and her daughter Louise who makes very gorgeous pure wool wraps and corsages.


There is contemporary and modern 20th century British paintings, antique furniture and objet d art, sculptures, bronzes and glass, and some very lovely modern jewellery.


Workshops


I am busy preparing for some workshops I am doing in the summer holidays at The Rainbow Rooms in College Hill, Haslemere, Surrey.    They will run every Wednesday for four weeks from 3rd August.  There is a class in the mornings for children aged 5 plus making felt monsters, and an afternoon class with children from aged 8 up making tote bags and learning to use a sewing machine.


I am told that the spaces fill up very quickly, so if you are interested please ring Penny or Kate on 01428 653341, or by email at:  info@therainbowrooms.co.uk.  It is my first venture into classes but I am really looking forward to it.  Alternatively you can have a look at their website at: therainbowroomshop.com.


Finally.....


My children have broken up from school/playgroup and we are off in our little caravan tomorrow to The New Forest and Dorset.  I can't wait for the break, valuable time with my family, and really looking forward to new inspirations!  If your off on holiday too have a wonderful break.

Splat the rat!

I was asked last week to make a rat for "Splat the Rat" at Petworth Fete; a game where you drop a rat (preferably not real!) down a drainpipe and try to hit it as it comes out the end.

The "Betty" bag is here for the Summer, win some goodies and other news!

After much template designs and re-designs I am proud to announce the arrival of my large "Betty" bag!
I am now posting the bags up for sale as I make them, in between some commissions and alterations, so please bear with me and keep checking in.


These started off very popular amongst my friends and customers, and have now been re-designed to be more padded and luxurious.  To purchase one please read my "Sales" page first before clicking on the relevant bag for sale.   I am more than happy to post one to someone special as a gift.  Please leave their details when ordering, and any message.  Postage is free in the UK. 


Win free goodies!


I am doing another of my raffles this summer.  For every purchase made your entered into the draw to win a goody bag from Junie and Jack.  I will announce the winner in a few weeks. Good luck!


I recently went to a fabric sale where I bought most of the vintage stock there, ranging from the 1930's to the 1960's.  It was heaven to sift through it all!  Anyway I came away with some lovely wool fabrics so i'm already thinking about a new design for a winter bag.


With a few alterations on top, all of this work recently led to a bit of a sewing machine crisis, but with a bit of cleaning and tlc, the sewing machine and I are now back on track!
