Workshop at Homeleigh Garden Centre - Demo at Buy and Save Wellington.

Great fun was had by all at the Homeleigh Garden Centre Workshop. We made Stepper cards, played with Metallic Pencils and Pens to create our own personalised card and experimented with Vellum.
The ladies thoroughly enjoyed themselves and want to come back for more.
Another Workshop may be organised for March 2011 so watch this space.

BUY AND SAVE - WELLINGTON AND HOMEFAYRE - TIVERTON.

The DoCrafts Demo at Buy and Save in Wellington went well. Lots of interest in the lovely new products and Tina at Buy and Save had lots of DoCrafts products on Special Offer. Always worth a visit as you never know what you might find.

I even ended up buying stamps (as if I haven't got enough) BUT HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A BARGAIN... A full set of SeeDee Stamps, and an acrylic block and a stamping mat, all for £1 - Yes only £1. Who could resist. Lots of stuff at 25% off too.

Homefayre in Tiverton also have stamps etc., on sale so worth a trip there too.....

I'm off to Launceston for the Homeleigh Garden Centre Workshop on Thursday. 10 lovely ladies are about to experience yet another Crafty and Arty time using lots of different materials to create some lovely Cards etc.,

We will be covering Stepper Cards, using Vellum on Cards , Acetate Cards, using Glues and Glitters and much more.

Reports to come after the Workshop.

Trago Mills Demonstrations August 28th and 29th

Iv'e two demo's coming up one in Trago Newton Abbott on Saturday 28th and one in Liskeard on Sunday 29th August.

I will be covering lots of new techniques including how to use the new foils - especially good for "tarting up" all your older papers that you don't know what to do with. I will also be covering some glass painting and using the glass outliner to make a snow effect on cards.

Hope to see you there..

Talk to Honiton Craft Club

My Talk and Demonstration to Honiton Craft Club on Wednesday went very well. I convered the "F" word - no not that one but all different Crafts beginging with the letter "F"

I demonstrated Felting, Fusing Fibres, Funky Foam, Friendly Plastic, Foiling and more.

The audience seemed to like what I was demonstrating and many took notes on where to go and buy the products and how to use them. Iv'e demonstrated and held Workshops for this lively group of ladies before and many thanks to Anne and David for supplying me with the drinks and very well organised morning.

I will be attending their next meeting where they are covering Sugar Painting. This is something Iv'e not heard of before so it should be interesting.

Don't play football with sandals on

I think Iv'e broken my big toe playing football with my grandchildren yesterday. It's gone all purple and blue and it's the size of a large carrott (looks a bit like one too).
The moral of this story is, don't play football with sandals on.....

It's a good excuse to just craft all day, because I can't possibly do the hoovering, or stand at the sink to wash up, or polish the furniture etc. etc I'll just have to make cards instead. What a shame.

Demo at The Range Exeter

What a hot, hot day. A bit of an exciting day too - two shoplifters, lots of hunky policemen running around the shop and things getting knocked over from the shelves. A bit like a Carry-on film. Still the demo went well.

Thanks to all the ladies who attended the Demo. The foils sold like hot cakes. You can do so much with them and they look absolutely lovely on papers, acetate, cardstock etc.,

My next demo will be at The Community Resource Centre in Yeovil on August 21st.

I will be covering lots of different techniques once again and using all DoCrafts products both past and present. l'll bring along lots of samples for you all to see.

I look forward to seeing you there.
