Winding down for Christmas.

The past couple of months have been none stop and things are now winding down for Christmas. This week has seen the final event of the year, some of my school workshops have come to the end, just two to go this week and that's it for 2010.

2011 looks like its going to be packed, double the amount of schools want to book me in the New Year, my problem is, there is only one of me and they all want after school clubs, going to have meetings next week to see what can be done.

The Lodge School sign went up last week, it has pride of place in the reception area, I walked straight passed it at first. Just a bit of touch up work to be done, but it looks wonderful!!!

Anyone out there want a new sign for their business, school or community group/centre,

please email me!!!!!!!

This month also saw the sale of Christmas decorations and my favorite Geisha Girl glass panel, didn't want to let her go, but she's gone to a good home.

The last couple of weeks I've been working on some new textile ideas and I'm hoping to get some quite time over the Christmas period to develop them further alongside some new jewellery pieces, each one made will be bespoke, feeling excited and looking forward to 2011!!!

September provisions!!!

Looks like we are ready to go with September provisions and the possibility of additional workshops during Family Learning Week! I have an extra 4 workshops a week to do during September provision.

More information about Jewellery Parties coming in the next few weeks along with new glass and jewellery designs.

I'm also planning Christmas decoration and Christmas Jewellery Gift - workshops, timetable for the run up for Christmas along with new decoration ideas for sale on Etsy and Misi.

Fingers crossed they go ahead, which means I'm going to be very busy! Other enquiries coming in are for community Summer Scheme's during August, lots of enquires just wait and see if they come off!

Fantastic News

Received enquiry today in connection to availability during September for bookings which will start the new school term. Not only do schools want me back in the new school year, but there are also new additional school bookings. I am so cuffed that school's want me back and looking forward to seeing the students again, fingers crossed, I'm going to be busy. Friday 23rd July I'll be promoting new workshop ideas at the One Stop Shop, big thanks to Find it in Sandwell for another promotional opportunity.

Workshops continue

My workshops have continued another term with an additional class! which is great news and in July I have a One Stop Shop at Sandwell MBC through Find It In Sandwell, so things are getting back to normal after my illness at Christmas. I have finally started work on my new jewellery designs, which I've been trying to develop for about 6 months!!! I've also got new ideas for mosaic garden panels both of which I hope to launch at the One Stop Shop in July. All in all things are running along smoothly and at the end of May I will have been in business for a YEAR!!!!!

Back from holiday!!!

Been away on holiday, haven't had one for three years!!! Now I plan to get some of my new designs developed and made over the next few months. Still have a few workshops in the diary and I would like to try out a new jewellery workshop for adults. All my workshops at the moment are in schools, it would be nice to get feedback and ideas from an adult audience. I'm going to start looking into booking a room and promotion.

New ideas

Working on some new Butterfly design tiles and trinket bowls.

Workshops!!!!

School workshop bookings are continuing up until April!!!Thank You!!! and I've got lots of new exciting activities planned for the students designing posters, bags etc. It's going to be fun, the students learn new skills, get to keep what they make and they make something useful, keep checking out our progress here.

Whats New!!

Well the excitement of Christmas and the New Year as gone and we move into 2010. The challenges have already begun! I've been ill all over the holiday season and still recovering, which hasn't been easy but we are still going. New designs, workshops and competitions are planned for 2010 so I think its going to be an exciting twelve months. I aim to put more on my blog to keep everyone informed with what is going on and I aim to set myself a few challenges to achieve this year. My first challenge it to get well! hopefully it wont be long!
