Back in the studio today and refreshingly nice to be back and see everyone. We’ve had a welcoming of people through the door today which I didn’t quite expect with no trains and rain this morning but it’s turned out to be a lovely sunny, chilled afternoon (&I haven’t even had the heater on!).

Todays tasks
•refreshed the neglected plants I forgot to take home (surprisingly unaffected by neglect)
•clean studio
•reply to emails
•plan the month ahead
•have a good catch up with my neighbours ☺️

We’re just about coming out of hibernation here

We’re just about coming out of hibernation here ☺️. Back in studio 9 @manchestercraft tomorrow (Saturday) so have been easing back into work whilst getting the house back to some normalcy since school started back on Tuesday. It’s been nice to catch up with things, do some paperwork, cooking, gardening and general sorting before the year properly starts again. Looking forward to being back to my little studio space too.

I’ve been having a social media break alongside the family break so I just wanted to catch up and say a big thank you to all the customers who visited, commissioned, bought, chatted and revisited all through 2022. At times it was a challenge but what’s life without its challenges? Here’s to 2023 and more to learn and enjoy. Happy New Year everyone 🥳.

Finally put all these winter garden cuttings to so

Finally put all these winter garden cuttings to some use the other day! Had to thaw them out through the day but also got some seeds from the old Allium heads that were stuffed in there! 🙌🏻.
Since then it’s been a bit downhill with this bug that seems to be making the rounds but feeling much better today - powering on! Looking forward to a day off tomorrow!

We’re still open @manchestercraft everyday until 3pm Christmas Eve 🎄💚

#friyay
You know when you make something and you like it but you’re not sure anyone else will? (prob happens more often than I think 😆). Then a group of people come into the studio and it catches their eye and they all love it, end up buying them and it confirms your original thought!😂

Anyway, I will be making more of these new glasses holders today (amongst other things). They hold reading and sunglasses. They have a contrasting cord and leather sleeve which protects the back of your neck against the cord ! 💡

A day off: a day of catch up…

Feeling the effects of early mornings, lots of making and trying to keep things going at home today with Dugg (🐾 👉) . Luckily with the help of @nellsmithprints holding the forte @manchestercraft studio9 today and our little family team at home we can see Christmas just around the corner. 🎄
We’re still open everyday until Christmas Eve at Manchester Craft and also have our last plant 🌱 swap on Saturday!

Thanks so much (once again) Claire Tong for our lovely tree, the best around as always . 🎄💚🤗
Also to talented basket maker @amygunawan_basketmaker for our lovely new woven star ⭐️

Must keep making must keep making must keep making must keep making until Christmas Eve 3pm 😤 .

Not that long to go until Christmas but the makers @manchestercraft are still hard at work making as all makers at this time of year are.
We are in our studios right up to 3pm Christmas Eve so pop down and visit and you can sample our new cafe @bq_bitesize which has been a big hit this weekend (Well done on your first busy weekend!)

This is a recent mini bag adapted for a new customer. I don’t get much time to take photos at this time of year so just have to 📸 them as I finish.

New little home for my #earpods .

The little lined zip pouches I make find themselves being used for all sorts of things. Just this week I’ve been making a mini one for someone who wants to put just one dice in 🎲- very tiny pattern! (Will post a photo when complete!)

I usually tell people these are for small scissors, change, sewing accessories but as you can see the list is growing. Find a selection of colours in studio9 @manchestercraft 😉

#WIP
It’s still a bit of a work in progress but I’ve made this new cabinet for outside the studio. It will probably change a bit in the new year but for now, it’s a good starting point to show people products outside and inside the studio ☺️ .

It’s been a quiet time on this grid lately but a busy one for my cold hands ! I’ve been making lots of different things and trying to organise myself as well as trying to make a temporary cabinet for outside my studio! (More on that soon) Plus working Sundays (& trying to keepthe family life balance).So I’ve not had time to switch my head to post any updates.
I have a few things I’ve been working on but here’s a job I managed to complete in between others this last week. An batch of reconditioned #dansette radio handles. It’s a little different to my usual work but one which I enjoy and has possibilities to crossover into handles for bags too. Swipe to see them on the expertly reconditioned radios by my neighbour.

Back to the work desk @manchestercraft today, it's a bit chilly but keeping myself warmth hot drinks and hot water bottles! (a staple for most of us makers😂)

#personalisedgifts A customer asked me this week

#personalisedgifts

A customer asked me this week if I could personalise this gift to include her name and her friends. With a short deadline and a new technique to master I was a bit nervous to take it on but sometimes when you push yourself outside your comfort area then you learn something new. ☺️

I’m still learning hot foiling but it’s quite satisfying and nice to be able to personalise items in a different way other than embroidering.
I think just initials will be a good starting point in future but I enjoyed the challenge!😁

(@fredaldous your new product worked a treat!)

#mondaymotivation

A few new wax bags in the studio this week. Adapted from my Two Tone leather bag design, these are made from mostly wax cotton fabric with a leather trim and strap, fully lined with internal pockets. Limited edition as some of my wax colours have been discontinued now. Available in the studio or if you want to contact me.

Hope you’re all having a good Monday. ☺️

Some new things I’m trying out on the machine at the moment. #wip
It seems to be at this time of year we tend get our creative juices flowing- when we have less time to do so!! I think a lot of us makers thrive on pressure of a deadline to produce things we should’ve done at quieter times of the year. Am I right makers?!? #lifeofamaker 😁😉

Don’t forget we have our #christmas event this Saturday with a choir and lots of drink, nibbles and activities.
@see @manchestercraft link for more details .

#tuesdaymakes
Different types of personalisation always a possibility.
This was a nice little addition to a bag order for a 40th birthday with a cute little note the customer asked me to include.☺️
If you would like to include a personalised message in your order you can always drop me an email or DM alongside your order.
