Good morning and I make no apology for being happy that it's
raining!

As crafters know creativity can sometimes be a sticky business, but I, like a lot of crafters, love a glue gun. It really is a core craft tool and very satisfying to use. These models are available in store now along with the appropriate glue sticks.

Whilst talking glue I'll also share that in stock are paper craft glue sticks, 3D foam pads, double sided tape, 3D foam tape, fabric glue and fray stop.

As always please DM if you have any questions; always happy to help if I can.

Have a good rest of the week.🩷

Today is National Left Handers Day!

So if you are looking for left handed scissors, I’ve got all ages covered including adult scissors.

I’m always happy to post out if you aren’t local.

Hope your week has been kind so far. ✂️

Good morning,

Well its finally the weekend, if you haven't got any plans this Sunday, just a reminder that it's the car meet and also the Waterside market here at Port Solent; free parking as always!

Have a good weekend!😎

Well I hope you've enjoyed the weekend, for me it certainly seemed to go very quickly...I think it's getting to be an age thing!

So I currently have a range of Trimits bookmark and mini cross stitch kits in store; I've sewn this one as an example as I do particularly like the fox design. I haven't washed or pressed it yet and will be looking for a suitable frame for it to go in.

I've reduced a lot of the other kits I have, including the multi project packs, so if you are a stitcher pop in for a look next time you are passing.

Have a good Sunday evening and I hope that tomorrow is a gentle and kind start to the week for you.😘

If you're not a crafter please feel free to keep scrolling...

Card makers start early for the festive period if they've got a lot to make...these Anita's outline stickers are available now in store. I also stock most of the other designs of the Anita's outline sticker range.

If you aren't local, I'm always happy to post so please send me a DM and I'll get in touch.

Have a good evening!

Good evening,

Another hot day and I think almost everyone I've spoken to today is counting down to the big football match for England this evening.

On the stock front, I've had a delivery of greetings cards from a couple of suppliers so here's a few to hopefully raise a smile.

Have a good evening and fingers crossed for the right result in the football.🤞

A special thank you re my previous post, it was heartening to see that quite a few people could actually see it! My nugget of joy for the day!

Just a short post from me to share 3 things...

Good morning,

Apologies for the radio silence...I've been away dealing with some family stuff. No need for anyone to worry, everything is fine.

So after quite a few weeks of inactivity on the page it will be interesting to see whether anyone actually sees this post in their feed.

I don't normally ask, but if you can see the post I'd be grateful for like so I can gauge whether the algorithm notices me...

🩷 to you all.
