Well here at LT, it's all go. Getting ready for our 4 day marathon selling event at the Kingsgate Shopping Centre in Dunfermline. We will be there with Daft for Crafts, who are a Fife based Craft organisation. If you are in the area please pop along to see us. There will be lots of other lovely stalls there, I doubt you would find anything like the items on sale on the high street.
Remember that Cushions and other items at any of our events will be cheaper as we don't have to pass on any P&P. Well, no rest it's time to get back to making. Speak s

Well, we have been working hard to create new things to put on the site and sell at the fairs. Sea Houses are back in stock, this time with lovely red stripped fabric on the reverse. We also have Funky Moped, for all of you that love that bit of retro. Talking of retro, we have some gorgeous fabric which show only what can be described as Betty Grable figures. Going to start making the cushions this afternoon, so they will be on the website in the next couple of days.
Our Cousin and his lovely Girlfriend are expecting a baby in the next few weeks. As a present we made a throw for them, it went so well that we are now offering Throws as part of our Made to Order service. Each one will be unique, you won't see these in the shops and would make a lovely gift. Prices are from £50.00, might seem a bit pricey but a lot of work goes into each one, and from the photo on the Made to Order page I am sure you will agree will be worth it. More fabric was ordered from America. We order from here as this keeps our costs down, but we have found that the majority of the fabric is not available in the UK (believe me we have searched the UK but nothing compares to what is in the States). We hope to bring you some beautiful things in the next few weeks, keep any eye out. We would love to hear from you about what you think about our items, you can also find us on Facebook, give us a wee like and you will be kept informed of our new items and news of forthcoming events. Have a good week.x Delighted to report that our Seahouses Cushions are now sold out. I have more material on order, and are going to add a very nice red stripped material to the back. All of our cushions are "envelope style", there is nothing worse than zips catching or worse bursting!!!. I find we can embelish the cushions better in this style
Lemon Thistle had a table of a craft fair in Dunfermline on Saturday. This was to help Abbey View Kids club with their summer promotion. Whilst there a lovely lady, Eileen, from Daft for Crafts introduced herself. She runs what I guess you would call a co-operative for other "Crafters". Included in this were Jewellers, Soap Maker, Glass art, Pottery, Bag makers, Photography to name but a few. After a long talk with Eileen we have now decided to link up with Daft for Crafts. Eileen has a lot of knowledge which will be very useful to us in our first year. She organises "fairs" in the Kingsgate Shopping Centre in Dunfermline on a monthly basis and, all going well, we will have a table there from 27th June to 1st July. We will be based outside Debenhams along with our new friends. Really looking forward to working with them all. So if you happen to be passing we look forward to seeing you!
http://www.daftforcrafts.com/ On 29th May we will have a table at the Oakwood Lounge in Sauchie. This is in aid of a very deserving charity, Rachel House. The event is being co-organised by Karen from Craft-ed Creations (http://www.craft-edcreations.co.uk/). Tickets are £3.00 each, which includes a wee cup of tea and slice of cake. There are lots of stalls there including beauty treats. More details to follow. Well business is picking up, so I had better sign off for now. Hope you like the website, and any A wee visit to an Exhibition at the Clay Station in Alloa resulted in one of the Ladies signing up for a 3D Needle Felting course. Truly an inspirational place, a big thanks to Sue Myles who gave me the courage to try Free Style Embroidery using the sewing machine. The results so far can be found on the page "A taste of things to come". Will be trying out some more over the next couple of days and will add the best to the ever growing stock.
We hope to have a lot of stock on the website by the end of March, so far we have Aprons, Cushions (especially for children's rooms), and lovely door hanging accessories. All going well there will be pictures as well !!! Will keep you posted as to the progress of the Needle Felting, who knew you could make so much with felt... |
