Roll up, roll up, get your Pampootie Christmas gifts at this year’s Art Market! Pop along and say Hello to me and over 40 other makers and artists selling beautiful things at the Ropewalk. See you there!
I recently went to a workshop by Hannah Lamb, member of the famous 62 Group of master embroiderers and generally fabulous textile peeps. We played with cyanotype, an early form of photographic exposure, which works just as well on textiles as it does on paper. The images are always blue, and I love their slightly haunting and beautiful simplicity and elegance. Here are my first-time adventures in cyanotype…
I’ll admit it. I have a thing for cushions. They’re just the thing to liven up a sofa and splash some colour around without going mad. I love making them too. Here are a few of my recent makes. Subtle and sumptuous green and duck egg blue silks. Pretty fabulous!
Come and see me at this year’s Insight Open Studios event. Lots of wonderful makers and artists all over North East Lincolnshire to visit – two whole weekends of arty goodness!
Exciting news! I’ll be at the Danby Christmas craft fair in beautiful North Yorkshire. Come along and say hello on Saturday 16 November and Sunday 17 November. Plenty to do at this North York Moors National Park Centre – and there’s a great cafe too!
I’ll be there! It would be great to see you at Insight Open Studios, so pop along to The Ropewalk in Barton on Humber and say Hello
Cutie Pampootie Hooties – crocheted owl keyrings
Say Hello to two Cutie Hooties. These little owls will be winging their way Down Under – a commission for two little girls in Australia. Another fun crochet project, and a variation on this pattern from Ravelry. Check it out. Hope Rachel and Jenny like them…
Spring is springing, so here’s a feast of pretty, colourful, sparkly paper flowers I made to lift your spirits. Enjoy!
It’s all very exciting here at Pampootie Towers. Pampootie products are now on sale at the fabulous Formality design shop in Dublin, just in time for Christmas too. Mini hot water bottles, flower peg kits and flower tape measures are all selling like hot cakes! Very exciting, I’m thrilled that Pampootie is so popular with Formality customers. Thank you to the lovely Karl and Patrick…
Here’s a pretty shawl I knitted for my Mum. It has gorgeous cascading ruffles, so you can wear it several ways. If you fancy knitting one yourself, check out the free pattern here. It’s very easy, knits up quickly so you’ll soon have a beautiful flouncy shawl of your very own.
