It’s the Weekend!

Hello everyone! How has your week been? Tomorrow, Claire and I are at The Woolly Wool Artisan Market at The National Wool Museum, Drefach Felindre. Come along if you can as it is a great day out with lots of lovely artists and crafters. The museum is amazing as well and definitely worth a visit. We will be showcasing our lovely kits…..cross-stitch as well as the mini rag wreath kits. We will have ready made up kits as well as a choose your own colour way combinations for the Welsh Blanket coaster kits. This option went down really well at the last Woolly Market we did. If you don’t get chance to come to the market, you can always purchase a kit from our website. Our newsletter is due tomorrow and our lovely readers get an exclusive 10% discount to enjoy off anything on our website. Instead of an Easter egg this year, treat someone you love to a kit or one of our beautiful Japanese knot bags. These are gifts that last a lifetime and you don’t have to think about the calories.

I hope you are enjoying the glorious weather we are having. I love seeing all the beautiful blossom whether it be cherry, apple or hawthorn. The colours are fantastic. I was doing a training day at The Botanical Gardens in Singleton Park today for Forget Me Not and just seeing all the tulips and primroses filled my heart with joy. I couldn’t think of a better place to be than there for a day of learning how to become a Health Walk Leader. More of why I was doing this training to follow over the next few weeks.

Have a lovely weekend and I will see you next week x Suzanne

Are you in the pink? Happy Friday!

Hello everyone! Today is ‘Wear it Pink Day” for breast cancer awareness month. Now I must confess I don’t own much in pink but I wore a lovely abstract print scarf in pink & red. It was one I have had for a long time but very rarely wear so it was nice to bring it out. I am going to start wearing my infinity scarf as the days are starting to feel cooler. Check out our shop on our website for some fab designs. They are all unique and quirky. They certainly brighten up an outfit plus they are functional as well. Autumn is definitely here! I love seeing the foliage change colour to reds and oranges. Mind you I don’t like the nights getting dark earlier.

Rod & I recently spent a few days down Llangennith. We were so lucky with the weather. We managed to get a few walks in - one to the local pub ‘The King’s Head’ and it was warm enough to sit out for a drink. The King’s Head do lovely food and lots of it as well. You can also stay there if you fancy a treat and don’t want to drive home. I think my crossbody bag looks good in the pub garden if I say so myself. It’s a fab size for taking on a walk as it packs a lot in but still looks good. I do love making these bags as commissions as I enjoy helping customers with their fabric choices. It’s always a joy to play with fabric. If you fancy one yourself then contact us via our website or social media.

I am busy on some bag commissions and Claire is putting together some great kits which we will debuting at The Woolly Wool Artisan Market at The National Wool Museum next Saturday 26th October. Come along if you can as it is a great day out with lots of lovely artists and crafters. The museum is amazing as well and well worth a visit. The kits will then go our website and I am going to profile them in our November newsletter. Lots to look forward to. Have a lovely week and I will see you next Friday x Suzanne

Wool! Finished!

Finished at last - my lovely wool wall hanging! Something new for me and so much fun to learn! Think there may be a few more of these in my future….

Wool! Glorious Wool!

Suzanne and I have tried a new craft - wool loom weaving!

The wall hangings are a WIP and need to be finished off but we did have so much fun!

Watch this space for photos - when finished! We are even thinking of adding wall hangings to our Sister Makes makes!
