Well the nights are drawing in, the trees are glowing in their autumn glory and before we know it it will be Christmas. I will be at the Shipley Art Gallery again this Wednesday. This workshop has sold out (which is great news), however if you are quick there are still some places on the "Twisted and Hidden- Creative Paper craft day" work shop on Wednesday 20th, https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/twmuseums/t-zdpopn , just £10 !!!! I hope to be able to give you an update on some more of my workshops at the beginning of November. For anyone who is in the area Newcastle upon Tyne Embroiderers Guild have an open day on Saturday, see their website for details https://newcastleupontyneembroiderersguild.wordpress.com/ . Okay on to the "c" word - not long till Christmas (there i said it !!!) I have quite a few fairs booked for November, again I will keep you update. For anyone wanting to get in early I will be at the Rival arts fair at Reghed in Penrith 26th & 27th October, and blatant plug I will be restocking my Etsy shop over the next week. I would encourage people to buy local and from small/independent businesses this Christmas, there are some wonderful talented makers out there!!!
