Christmas is coming!

christmas is fast approaching, so we though you would like some ideas for gifts, to give to the special people in your life. 

 These bassinet or wall hangings are perfect for the youngest members of the family celebrating their first christmas.

 Or for the slightly older children how about a book to help them learn to read, bring you closer together, and for them to keep and hand down to their childre. A perfect gift that they will cherish when older simply because you made it for them.

As we all know hand made says so much more than store bought mass produced items.
So come back soon, for even more wonderful ideas.

The craft quarters mascot

This cutie is Amber. she belongs to Estelle, but has become the shops mascot. She is a great dog, who sits and watches and sleeps.
You hardly know shes around she is so quiet! Normally she will sleep in the middle of the tables, they are arranged in a square, but lately she is trying to find the sun. Amber is an elderly lady and her joints are not what they used to be. So the sun helps to warm them.   She is a great dog, and loves any attention you would like to give her, but will happily just be and not bother anyone at all.
Thanks Amber, you are a gem!
