Christmas gifts in the shop

I suddenly went a bit mad.  I thought that we should have a few extra silly Christmas gifts in the shop.  We have all our own range - but that still has to grow a bit.  There are 2 new 'normal' knitting kits - and 2 new 'special' knitting kits - but we are still only just starting to get involved in sewing and crochet.  

Soooo - I thought I should add something different into the mix

we have Airfix kits - remember these - well - yes a bit outside of what we do 'normally' - but no one else sells these in town - and I used to have such fun making these - used to love the ships.


also - soap making kits - these are such fun and look simple for the kiddies (with a bit of help)


those wooden models that you slot together - super cool all painted up

Candle making
Dreamweaver kits
Canvas painting kits

This is a new company for me - they do all the paint/colour by numbers - amazing sequin art - matchstick kits - balsa wood - simple embroidery and rug kits - - could have gone totally nuts! - Just testing the water to see what you like really

Calligraphy text

I have invented a new diet - it's called the soup and mop diet.  You heat up a can of your favorite soup - then you put it in your favorite mug.  Take a couple of sips - put it on the worktop while you get some tortilla crisps - and knock the mug off the worktop all over the floor.  Once you have finished mopping up all the mess - you have gone off the whole idea and have a pot of yogurt instead.

do you think it will catch on? 

I have just finished this commission for a wedding gift.  The brief was to keep it as plain and simple as possible - I did sneak one gem in though - at the top of the I


I thought I may do this again for Valentine's day

December opening hours

We have had a big discussion and have finally settled on our opening hours for December and the New Year

All through December we will be open on Mondays 10am - 4pm as well as Tuesday - Saturday.  Isobel will be in charge on the extra day for me.  Izzie a knitter is not a paper crafter like me - she is the knitter of the dog coats and accessories you see in the shop and will do her best to sort out what you need.

Then Christmas week we will be open
Monday 10am - 4pm
Tuesday 10am - to about 1.30/2pm.  Depends on how the town is - we will definitely be off early though.

Then we will be CLOSED - until
Thursday 2nd January 10am - 4pm

so I can have a nice Christmas and chill out a bit.

Love

Small Business Award

I would so appreciate your help guys - I have applied for a small business grant

Check out - https://apps.facebook.com/quickbooksuk-tm/ - and vote for kitten.

I have entered as the shop because I could really do with a hand for some of the 'hidden' costs.  do you know that I have to have 2 music licences??? one costs around £90 - the other is £60 - just so I can turn Radio 4 on - how insane is that!

please have a look and vote for me - I will keep nagging!!!!
