We Make London Christmas Pop Up Shopping Experiance

Still have some Christmas shopping to do or just fancy a fun and festive day out? pop along and say Hi at We Make London's Christmas Pop Up Shopping Experiance this Saturday 10th December at Battersea Arts Centre. It is always a great event and this year looks like the best yet. Do some screen printing, buy presents and even get them wrapped for free!! There is something for everyone. Take a look at the WeMake blog for more info.

Let the celebration begin!

I know that a lot of you like me LOVE Christmas but im sure there are as many who get annoyed with the way people seem to start celebrating earlier and earlier each year. Well I have waited until a month before to do something seasonal so that is pretty late for me.

To celebrate my favourite holiday I have set up a discount code in both of my etsy shops laurafallulah and fallulahs. Just type the code YAYCHRISTMAS in when you check out and you will get 20% off all purchases.

Designers/Makers Handmade Christmas Shop

Started your Christmas shopping yet? if you haven't then pop along to the Designers/Makers Handmade Christmas Shop on Exmouth Street, London for a really great selection of Handmade goodies, including Laurafallulah of course. Even if you have started go along anyway and treat yourself to something for being so god damn organised. As you can tell I am not one of those organised people which is why there is some hostility in that last sentence.

Renegade Review Guest Post

Pop over the the fab Bugs and Fishes by Lupin craft blog to see my guest post review of this weekends Renegade Handmade Craft Fair in London.

 I am very touched that Laura, the owner of Lupin Handmade, liked my writing enough to feature it on her popular blog. Check out all of her tutorials posts too, my favourite are her Christmas Crafting ideas.

New things - rings and earrings

I've been busy applying for Christmas Craft fairs for the last few weeks as well as trying to retake all my product photos so that they are all the same. Today I finally got round to photographing some new products to put into my own shop as well as my Notonthehighstreet shop. These new earrings and rings have been selling really well with other stockists as well as at the Thames Festival last month so I decided it was time for them to go online.

I have only put a restricted range of colours online but if you come along to any of the events I am taking part in over the Christmas season then you will also be able to buy even more, or email me with a colour request and I can raid my stocks for you. Or check out HannahZakari for alternative colours. The earring photo above will give you a better idea of what sort of colours are available.

Sneek Peek

Just a little something I am working on at the moment, this is just a small section of what will eventually, hopefully, be a larger print. I have never done any screen printing before but it is something I have wanted to try since I was at university and us weavers shared our workspace with the heat presses of the print group. I am very excited to finally getting around to giving it a go. I'm sure anyone else who works with fabric or pattern can understand the yearning of wanting to have a go and making their own. Well we will see how it turns out soon.

pins and needles

I know how to live the high life. A new pair of shoes? or a manicure? Nah! when I want to treat myself I stick to haberdashery. I couldn't resist the grey pearly tops of these pins. I don't know what it is with pins, I lose them like they are socks so its just as well they don't come in pairs. Where as needles I seem to keep forever, I have only ever bought one pack, well now two, and I still have a couple of them.
