Jennifer Pudney Postcards

When Gail went on her recent trip to New Zealand she came across some lovely quirky needlepoint postcards by Jennifer Pudney which we have decided to stock on www.squidgystuff.co.uk
Each postcard measures 6" x 4" so they don't take a long time to complete. We have eight coming onto the site very soon and are will worth a look at, the colours and subject matter are fab.

Sunny Days

All excitement is breaking out at squidgy, Gail has come back from a break and is refreshed and bustling with inspiration, and I'm riding the wave.... We are looking at new kits for www.squidgystuff.co.uk and are in the process of trying them out, what can be nicer on a sunny day than to be sitting in your favorite spot with your chosen craft.

Its also great weather for getting out and taking time to look at the environment around you and gathering ideas for a summer project, the early blossoms and fresh greens are here along with more yellow dandilions than I have ever seen! and soon there will be more colour and texture around than we could ever use.



Happy days..... Marj

New craft programme

Just heard today that Kirsty Allsop from TV's Location, Location, Location is filming a new series about crafting in the home. Apparently she is doing up a house using various craft techniques to decorate it. Kirsty is a well known craft enthusiast, so it should be well worth watching when it comes onto our screens later on in the year.

My new hobby

Hi its marj this time, I've just bought a book about making jewelry from found objects and its fab! i'm inspired. My father used to make jewelry with gold wire as a hobby and then when he was saving to get married he took a stall in New Brighton by the seaside and sat making personalised jewelry for tourists. Ive been searching through all my bits and bobs and am going to do a bit of recycling and make something incorporating some textile (while Gail goes to the gym!).... marj

Awful Weather

What a horrible day!  The weather is slushy and cold - I have promised myself faithfully that I'll go to the gym after lunch today, but my resolve is slipping - does anyone out there go regularly and have any tips for keeping up the pace?
