Did you get my newsletter? I always worry that it goes into the depths of people's spam folders, so let me know!

If you're not signed up just head to my bi0 and I'll try and resend it and you'll get my next one coming soon! It's a good way to find out about workshops, wool news and events as we can't be relying completely on these socials eh!

Somehow it was July that I sent my last one ... Oops! Defo not monthly 🤣

Thanks all!

I'm very excited to announce a new workshop: Festive Wool Wreaths at Heart Gallery Hebden Bridge 🎄🐑

Join us on Thursday 10th December to discover the joy of finger knitting and needle felting and create your own woolly bit of Christmas magic that you can enjoy year after year!

Make it a date and bring a friend or work mate, or come and enjoy some time to yourself away from the Christmas rush! You'll get a complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival and can take some time to browse the gallery with 10% off any gifts that catch your eye 🥂

I'm really looking forward to this one at a new venue for me and conveniently just over the road from my studio 🙌🏼

There are limited places so book your spot soon via Heart Gallery's website 🤍

Come felt a fungi with me! 🍄

Wednesday 21st October at Authentic Uppermill Greater Manchester, 6:30-9pm.

My last Toadstool class at Authentic was a sell out but I've got zero bookings for this as yet 😭 so any help in reaching the fungi lovers is much appreciated! Tag, save and share 🍂

It's totally suitable for beginners as well as a great project for those who've felted before 🙂 and a great way to spend an autumn evening with a friend or taking some time for yourself!

A little Autumn cruise on the Rochdale Canal 🍂

I wish the other parts of my life could be this slow paced 😂
