London trip

I don't get out much ... I don't mean to moan but it takes a lot to winch me from my work, which I do love. I am getting ready for the showcase called "Make Do", which will be the finale to the business course I am on run by School for Creative Startups and will be held in Selfridges Hotel, at the end of May (more details closer to the time)
It is a chance to showcase our businesses and meet buyers, press, public and investors, and there is much to do beforehand. Yesterday I went up to Somerset House to have a 1-1 with Doug Richard and Medeia and I am feeling now hugely pepped up and less deflated about the whole thing. It can feel like an uphill struggle sometimes but our chat smoothed out many wrinkles and I am clearer about the way forward now.
But there is still lots to do ....
The treat afterwards was to go to Muji in Longacre for a new notebook and those lovely fine line pens and then to The Cloth House in Berwick Street.
If you love textiles and you have not been there it is a place you must go as soon as you can .... I love it.
have a look at the site and you will see what I mean though there is nothing like going there ... so GO!

Linens bought from The Cloth House


I bought some beautiful linen for my ladies to work samples on. So if you are one of my ladies, I am going to work on some materials this weekend. Also this weekend I will construct a tutorial on the transfer pens I am so happy with ...

  3. Lovely pictures Nancy! As one of your lucky ladies, I have to say the dinner isn't on, all I have done all afternoon is sit and stitch one of your beautiful designs!
