Nearly Advent…

It’s nearly that time of year again and this year I aim to be far more organised! We have the town Christmas lights switch on this Sunday 1st Dec so I shall be wrapping up warm and showing my dad the delights of town on a special event day. It’s always buzzing with lots to see and do regardless of your age. Check out ‘Love Somerton’ on FB.

There are lots of ChrIstmas gift ideas in the shop, ranging from a variety of ready to make kits including candle making, sewing, lino cutting and fimo through to serious buy-all-the-bits bits and bobs and make it from scratch. I have some great box packaging that you can decorate yourself with paint, pens or stamps to make an eco friendly reusable wrapping, or sew your own drawstring bags from fun Christmas fabrics. More of those ideas later as I vow to do a bit more on the bloggy website along with step by step instructions for those who might need them.

Spring at last

It is lovely to feel that it is spring at last, mind you we have had the daffodils out for quite a while down in Somerset and they are well and truly over now.  The blossom has flowered early due to our mini heatwave and it’s gone cold again so i am back to 3 layers of clothing and my thermal vest in the shop.

The theme for April here at Mrs McGregors is animals, so all the workshops this month have an animal theme. I very carefully made loads of plans and dates and promptly left the notebook at the shop so i can’t populate the online calendar, what a muppet!!!

I do know some of the themes for workshops are making the felt bear from January’s edition of Mollie Makes magazine, felt chicks for Easter, decorated glittery and papery easter eggs and  3d felted bumble bees.  We do have a rogue felted fairy workshop with Steph on Sat. 27th April if you would like to join us do get in touch.

There is still some papercraft left in the shop from our March sale, so if you need 12×12 cardstock, promarkers, stamps, inks and die cut decoupage come on in and have a rummage.

Enjoy your spring and let’s hope for the weather to warm up just a bit.

Hope to see you soon.
