Sneak Peak of a New Workshop
but first
Where have we been?
Family Comes First!
As you know we are a small family run business, & when Paula's Mum had a fall at home & was admitted to hospital at the end of March, this immediately changed our priorities.
Thankfully her Mum is now very comfortable in her new care home, where she has even started sketching again.
This photo of her Paula's Mum was taken in the 1960's when she was just starting out on her artistic life - we really love it!
Paula has followed in her footsteps, so you can see where she gets her creativity from!
We found the photo when tidying her Mum's flat, & we are now going curate a little sale of some of her art work & pottery.
News from The Stitch Festival
'KNITTING' wows the crowds!
Cocoon&me had the actual costume on our stand at Stitch, & everyone was so excited to see 'KNITTING'
‘KNITTING’ was such a hit, everyone loved her so thank you Plunge Creations for making it happen!
People couldn’t believe how Claire Richards managed to wear & sing under such a big costume 💗💙💗
Paula & Sharon had a great time.over 4 days at Stitch. As well as the 'KNITTING' excitement they were really busy selling lots of our Craft Kits, Yarns, Patterns & Accessories.
It was lovely to meet lots of new people & catch up with a few old friends.
Workshops
We still have lots of workshop coming up in the next few months, including our new workshop that starts in May, our Macramé Flower Jar Holder Workshop & Cut Flower Experience, which we are running in partnership with Pitfield Barn Cut Flower Farm & Studio.
