Saturday, June 21st, 2008You may not think the Scottish Traditional Boat Festival has much to offer you but you’d be surprised! It takes place in the pretty coastal town of Portsoy every year and there’s a whole host of fun stalls and events going on. Me and Miso Funky went up last year and had a whale of […]
Dennistoun Craft Fair
Sunday, June 15th, 2008I had a great day at the Dennistoun Craft Fair yesterday. It was the first one organised there, so I wasn’t sure what to expect but it turned out to be a great day. I have to say the most enjoyable part for me (apart from the sales!) was being involved in something local. I […]
Here Comes The Sun
Monday, June 9th, 2008Lots of news for you. First up, I am part of this month’s Poppytalk Handmade market, which has a lovely Summer theme. You can browse my virtual stall or have a look at all the other awesome folks here. It runs until July 4th so there’s plenty time to see everything.
I’ll also be selling my […]

Go Go Glasgow!
Friday, May 23rd, 2008Yes, tomorrow is Made in the Shade and you should really be planning on being there for the best and biggest indie market you could hope to find. The first bunch of shoppers get a free goodie bag of treats from the sellers so try and get there early!
I’ll be there with some new bits […]

New exhibition
Friday, January 11th, 2008Exciting news as I have been asked to take part in another exhibition, this time at the Park Gallery in Falkirk. My things will be alongside the main attraction, new works by ceramic artist Craig Mitchell. His stuff looks amazing and I’m really looking forward to seeing it up close.
I’ve just finished the last few […]
Gifted Restocked
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007I am very pleased (and a little surprised) to be telling you that my purses at the Gifted exhibition are apparently selling well and another ten have been sent over to restock. I’ve pulled out some of my favourite fabrics for new small-sized coin purses and there are some of the larger sizes in fabric […]
