Seale Craft Shop

Last night we welcomed 3 lovely ladies (and The Mothership joined in too !) to our very first workshop ! We chatted, laughed, sewed, drank tea, ate cake and compared our crafting stories. The space worked really well and everyone went home with a beautiful pumpkin ! It went so much better than I could have imagined and these ladies were an absolute joy to spend time with. We’re doing it all again tonight and we can’t wait to welcome our next group of workshoppers. I’ll share all the photos tomorrow 🤩

September has crept up on us and all of a sudden things are starting to feel the tiniest bit autumnal ! Meteorologically speaking autumn arrived yesterday, but if you follow the astronomical calendar it won’t arrive until the autumn equinox on the 22nd. Seems such a long way off, doesn’t it ?! I think I follow a bit of both as I’m more than happy to crack out the pumpkin mugs and get the candles lit in the evenings but i’m still enjoying the sunny, late summer days 🙂

What is definitely arriving VERY soon, though, is our very first pumpkin making workshop ! 🎃 This time next week Mum and I will be setting the shop up for a lovely cosy evening of crafting, chatting and cake eating (very important ! 🍰). We really can’t wait to welcome you. If you are feeling nervous about coming along on your own please be reassured that we will probably be just as nervous as you and that there will be no awkward ‘getting to you’ games or going round the table and introducing yourselves ! Makes me break out in a cold sweat just thinking about it ! 🥴

Another thing to mention is that you don’t have to have amazing sewing skills to make a pumpkin. All you need to be able to do is thread a needle and sew a basic, reasonably straight line. If you’re a bit rusty or unsure please don’t worry, we will be there to help you every step of the way and everyone will go home with a beautiful pumpkin to be proud of.

We do still have quite a few places available, especially on the Wednesday workshop, and would love to have you join us. You can book here:

or feel free to message me with any queries or to book directly.

I had an epiphany this morning ! You can now book and pay for your workshop places through my website rather than having to email me. This should make things so much easier for you. I can’t do it through the shop’s website because it doesn’t have the facilities but mine does so here is the link ⬇️

🍁A Catch Up🍁

Hello friends, last week I was back down at the shop carrying on with the revamp and having a general sort out ! You may have seen me diving head first into a cupboard or crawling under a table if you popped in 😅

I finally finished painting the door too and the masking tape is now off, thank goodness ! I can’t show you it, though, because I didn’t take a single photo while I was there. I’ll never make it as an ‘influencer’, will I ? 😂🙄

Can you believe it’s just two weeks now until our very first workshop ? 🎃 The time is flying by but there is still time to book your place ! You can find all the details here

https://sealecraftshop.co.uk/milking-parlour-workshops/

or please do message me with any questions. I’ve left the two sample pumpkins in the shop if you’d like to see them in real life. They’re on the little school desk next to the counter. Mum will show you if you can’t find them 🙂

Today I’ve been finalising the fabrics you’ll be able to choose from for your pumpkin. There are spots, toadstools, pumpkins, autumn leaves and CUTE HEDGEHOGS ! 😍 All very autumnal and something for everyone. Here is a little peek at a few of them. I’m particularly in love with the toadstool one ! 🍄

Admin day in my workroom/office isn’t so bad when everything is pretty ! Fabric jar bonnets will be for sale in the shop next week and the cute mug is by Isla Donald, one of our very talented local potters 😍🌸

I had a lovely day off yesterday visiting my daughter and her rescue girls, Pansy, Crocus, Daphne, Myrtle and little Speck ! Back to work today choosing the fabric for the pumpkin workshops. Not a bad way to spend the day ! If you missed the workshop launch post you can find all the details on our website. The Tuesday date is proving popular so far ! 🎃
