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.....

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.
