Welcome to on my soapbox! This is the part of my business where I open the doors to Craft Shed HQ and let you into all my secrets, tricks, tutorials and where I share my views and opinions on all things soapy. So get comfortable.. grab your brew.. and let me show you whats been happening inside the shed this week!

Is this week over yet?

This week has been pretty hectic in the shed!

I've spent the majority of my time getting the studio in order..sorting through my scrap box for vintage fabrics and trims to use on my new Jubilee brooches.. and just generally getting everything organised. 

The Jubilee collection is coming along nicely, although I may have to invest in a more complex sewing machine soon..as all this hand stitching is taking it out of me a little!

I have spent the rest of my time catching up on any outstanding orders and trying desperately to prepare for next weeks craft event at RotherValley College, South Yorkshire, and also the huge craft showcase event I have coming up at Spitalfields Market, London. 


This event is actually the first one that has got me feeling all nervous and anxious! This is a big deal for a small business like mine.. and I feel like a VERY small fish in the large ocean that is the London art scene.
Anyway.. I'm making my palms sweaty just thinking about it :) Here's some of the finished Jubilee brooches I've been working on this week!


  
I am also in the design stages for a pretty special festival range for the summer.. so watch this space!

See you soon xx
