Catching up and updates.

A few bits of information for you. Firstly, I have started to add the new batch of hand-dyed felt to the site.

felt 001

If you can’t wait for the others to be added either send me an email or complete the contact form below. The prices include postage – if you buy more than one your excess postage will be refunded. If you subscribe to the Creative Diary at the same time you will save on postage. The link does not take you to the diary but to information.

The dates for the next Be Creative weekend have been announced. The last one was a great success and there has been much action since which is wonderful. I have to say that the felt will be perfect for one or more of the prompts that I have planned for the next  event. Keep the last weekend of February free for some creative fun. You don’t need to be around for the whole time – just commit to a minimum of 15 minutes! Yes, it IS possible to be creative in that amount of time. Some people have continued to use the prompts, others ignored them and just continued with something on which they were working. It was an inspiring advert -free event – no promoting or blatant self-promotion is allowed. If I can do it – so can everyone else…… Yes?

However, here is an advert! The next round of online workshops is coming soon and will include another dyeing workshop and one on using paper. If you are interested in having more information you can also let me know via the contact form.

I’m continuing to give a flavour of the things on which I’m working here, but it doesn’t tell the whole story by any means. I hope you will join me somewhere in making 2014 the best creative year yet!

Japanese Beads

I know that some of you are waiting for these. I just didn’t have time to list them yesterday. These are all good quality Japanese beads, mostly Toho or Miyuki with possibly a few Matsuno thrown in for good measure. This offer is very good value (offered at under half price). If you subscribe to my creative diary at the same time you will pay no postage – but be warned – the introductory price of £10 subscription to the diary is only valid until the end of January, after that time it will increase by a small amount to £12.50

The beads are similar to the ones in the photograph, 8 small tubes including different shapes and colours, some mixed, mostly sizes 8 and 11. Click on the picture to find the offers – and if you want to add chiffon scarves to the mix you will find them here. You can add them without including postage – but only if you include one of the above offers. Please add postage to all other orders for chiffon scarves or this will delay your order.

More offers to come on another day. If you are returned to the main blog page you know that the offer is sold out. If you are already subscribed to the diary I’ll give you a hint that there is a tutorial coming later – by popular request 🙂

Quickly dashing through…..

This year has started with a bang, and I’m already struggling to keep up. It wasn’t meant to be like that – but sometimes life is unpredictable. No complaints, but I have to go out in a very short while. As I mentioned in the last post I am sorting through and passing on some bargains. The vegetarian silk has now gone, and as this is such a specialised product you may wonder why I’ve offered it. Well, today I’m offering some felt – and it’s for the same reason. Both these products are specially made for me. As a result I have to order them in HUGE quantities. Think of the largest number you can accommodate – and then double it. Yes, I really do have to order that much. So, in order to safely and easily store it all I have to make roon. Delivery is soon – so today there are some special felt offers, and others too.

The felt is viscose. No, it doesn’t burn. Yes, it is soft. Yes, it is easy to stitch into. Yes, you can use it with great success on the embellisher. I’ve used it for many purposes and so have those of you that know and love it. It normally retails at £3.50 a piece. The next order is more expensive so there is a possibility of a price increase, but I’ll let you know about that if it happens. In the meantime I’m offering 5 at half price – that’s £8.75 plus postage. Clicking any of the live links on this page, or the photographs, will take you through to the offers. If you subscribe to the Creative Diary too you will save on postage.

I also have a few packs of lovely ceramic beads. These have many uses and I’ve taught workshops that included them in tassels, fringes, ‘jewellery’ of course, and also just as additions to stitching. The packs are £6.00 plus postage – you will see that you can also buy a mix of everything here.

Stocks of these are very limited, so it’s first come, first served. There are approx 100 beads in a pack and the selection is varied.

All offers are our choice of colour and the felt will be a selection of colours. They will be posted at the end of the week, but don’t leave it until the last minute as they will run out! Oh, yes, and I’ll include a thread/yarn of some sort or another with the felt – it might be a mix like the one in the picture above. Incidently, the ‘arty’ pictures I’ve used here are of a couple of the quick warm up exercises I’m doing each day. I’ve talked more about them in the Creative Diary. If you haven’t found them yet there are occasional pictures here, but with no information.

Now I have to dash off, all the previous orders are already on their way – we battled through wind and rain to get them to you. Hope you are all managing to stay dry, thankfully we are.
