New Patterns

Well we had another amazing workshop with Helen Gleeson and it was a full house, Helen will be joining us again next year for more workshops.  We have had several new patterns arrive including Linda Benson and Giggle Sprinkle bears.  We have also had 22 new bolts of fabric arrive including some lovely Chritsmas fabric that is 150cm wide, suitable for backing or table clothes.

Helen Gleeson Workshop

We had a wonderful Sunday with Helen Gleeson this weekend for the first workshop.  I am delighted with the results and I can't believe how much I learned.  Helen is an amazing teacher, she was tireless and so generous, with her wealth of information.  The class was so professionally run and the students were all very happy.  Thanks Helen we cannot wait for the next one.

New Patterns

Well its been an interesting week and we are happy to say that we now have in stock patterns by Monica Spicer, Karen Alderson, Jenni Boylan , and of course the wonderful Helen Gleeson.  Helen is running a real fur workshop at the store next Saturday and we are all very excited.

Visit from Helen

Just had a lovely visit from Helen Gleeson today at the shop, she has left some of her patterns with me including a copy of the lovely Tim Tam that we are making at the workshops in October and December.  I have just completed making one of Monica Spicers lovely patterns with an open mouth and feel very excited about the bears I am making now.  We are running classes at the store on a Thursday night and Wednesday afternoon that have a few places left.

Well things at the shop are going well, we still have some places in our Thursday night Bear class but Friday is full.  We have now had some awesome patterns arrive including wonderful work from The Teddy Tree and Monica Spicer.   I have been having a great time playing with the new patterns and we have a few new creations to look at.   We also have some amazing Alpaca fur and some copic markers .
