It’s The Weekend!
Hello! How has your week been. I’ve been away with Rod this week and we came home from Cornwall today. Wow what a journey home it was. I don’t like driving at the best of times and the M5 was a nightmare. We are very glad to be home. We went to Frome in Somerset first to see a fabulous guitarist called Mike Dawes who was amazing before travelling down to Bude.
I haven’t done any sewing this week but I have bought some fabric. I couldn’t help myself. It was so lovely to find actual physical fabric shops and to be able to look at and feel the fabric. The first was The Remnant Shop in Bude and the second was Threads Design in Launceston. It always brings me so much joy to visit a vibrant town centre. Sadly Swansea like so many other towns have lost that vibrancy but we still do have a fabric shop called Lee Mills which has been open for many years.

What a glorious shop front.
Claire had a great time at The Vintage and Makers Market last weekend. She enjoyed catching up with regular customers and meeting new ones. Our next market is The Woolly Market at The National Wool Museum on 24th October. We love this fair as the museum is such a fantastic venue. We shall be busy creating lots of gorgeous makes over the next few weeks for the fair and of course for the Gower Crafts & Artisans Gift shop in Mumbles. Have a lovely week x Suzanne & Claire
It’s The Weekend!
Hello everyone. I hope you have had a great week and are looking forward to an extended weekend. We’ve got a Bank Holiday….yay! What are you all going to be doing? Claire & I will be back at Port Eynon on Sunday 30th September for a craft market run by The Gower Craft & Artisans. I’m not sure we will have back to back sunshine like we did at the last one as we finally have had some much needed rain. Whatever the weather, I know the day will be packed full of smiles and chat. Hopefully we will see you there.
Claire has been busy making her gorgeous patchwork tote bags and I have been making some unlined totes in fun quirky fabrics. Our next fair will be at Swansea Waterfront Museum. It is the Vintage and Makers Market run by the lovely Cow & Ghost team. It will be on the 12th & 13th September. Have a lovely Bank Holiday Weekend x Suzanne & Claire

Our first bit of news is that we are delighted to have been accepted as part of Gower Crafts & Artisans. This lovely group of artists and makers have a shop in the Methodist Church in Mumbles. Why not pop in and treat yourself or someone you love to a beautiful gift from there. There is a coffee shop in the church too making it a great pitstop after a walk along the sea front.
