Yesterday saw the first of a couple of hen parties that are booked in at the new HH HQ and as you can see they had blooming good fun! The decorated undies are to be hung up at the reception at Lisa's wedding, what a great idea!
Once everyone decided which letter they would do they were off! Buttons, ribbons and beaded tassels were all part of the brief...sorry!
And once Christina had convinced them all that they COULD do embroidery after all they completed this beautiful keepsake - there are still a few finishing touches to be added and then it will be strung together to remind Lisa of all her friends!
Settling in at the new place has been fun, tiring and interesting with some exciting news about wool on it's way! First though a big order of buttons has landed and amongst them are these dinky little babies...
...and at last some reasonably priced and nice quality bamboo crochet hooks, chunky ones!
All these things AND the workshops are selling well with these fabulous toadstools sprouting up everywhere...
...and happy hookers getting to grips with their 'magic circles' thanks to Jenny!
With Spring Flowers appearing on the workshop list I'm looking forward to the crochet sessions with Joanne, her beginner's workshops are selling out fast - so many people keen to learn!
For the more experienced hookers the Vintage Style lacy edgings, delicate edgings to apply to clothing or furnishings, perfect!
Also new to HH HQ are the fabric printing sessions - with two sessions sold out and a further one half full I think it's gonna be a year full of pattern, the new curtains have been getting a lot of admiring glances! I'm looking forward to making some cushions with this print...and maybe some napkins...a blind? It's endless!
