This is Wendy and she makes a regular appearance in one of my favourite blogs, For me, For you which is written by Kate, a graphic designer / jewelry designer who has recently relocated to LA. I definitely think you should take a look at Kate’s website and flickr account because sometimes its nice to just escape into pictures of other peoples lives.

I just thought I would show you two commissions that I worked on last month for some of my friends.If you’re interested in a similar commission then please let me know.

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been to see me at the Knitting and Stitching show so far. I know what it is like to have post shopping regrets, so if you have seen something on my stand that you now wish you had bought, then please get in touch and I will honour the special prices from the show. Have a great weekend. Lou x

If you’ve been wondering why I have been a little quiet recently…

Earlier in the year I was lucky enough to be one of 6 people to win a stand through Craft Guerilla for the Knitting and Stitching show in Harrogate at the International Centre. So for the last 6 months I have been busy in the print studio hand screen printing my Christmas collection for the launch at the show next week, this includes screen printed art, cards, gift wrap, children’s T-shirts as well as my new range of cushions.

A lot of hand printed artwork will be sold at discount prices just for the duration of the show as a little Xmas present to my customers. It would be great if people could come and see me on stand E15 from Thursday 25th-28th November 10-5.30pm (5pm sunday).

Tickets for the show are £11 if you buy them in advance from the Twisted Thread website or £14 on the day.

I visited the Great Northern Contemporary Craft Fair on friday night and my favourite stand of the whole show was The Book Tree Press which is ran by Lucy Roscoe. I could have brought everything, if it wasnt for the fiance tightening the purse strings (boo!) but I still managed to get a lovely coptic stitch notebook and a few cards. Lucy graduated from Edinburgh College of Art this year and had already taken part in many exhibtions showcasing her gorgeous handbound, hand cut book arts. Not only does Lucy produce amazing books but her illustrations and designs work makes me incredibly jealous of her talent. She is definitely one to watch.
