It's all been a little hectic...

Well I guess there's no two ways about it - I have certainly been slack on the blogging front recently! I apologise if any of you have missed by regular ramblings, but things have been so hectic here at made by lolly x HQ that 16 hour sewing days haven't been unusual!
(And I've become addicted to Twitter!)

 

I've been busy with my Autumn/Winter ranges which started with the 'Poppy Fields' Collection and has now become the Christmas Collection. 

As you can see my new colour fascination is red!

Both ranges have been extremely popular and have been featured at The Gift Gallery on the Shambles in York and at the Wonderfully Made art and craft exhibition in Silkstone (as well as still being available in my Folksy shop!) I've also held my first ever gift party, taken my first ever workshop, attended five times more events than last year and had a massive bunch of custom orders!

So, I'll hope you'll forgive me for not being around as much!

But, it's all starting to quiet down - a least a little bit! My last fair of the season is this weekend, so I shall soon be able to start to wind down (unless all my online customers are leaving it all to the last minute!)

The fair is to be held at Elsecar Heritage Centre near Barnsley - and should be a fantastic event! Not only is it quite near where I live (so no super early get up!) but lots of my friends will be there too! A full line-up of the 68 different exhibitors can be found on the Script Events website here, but I would definitely check out Our Little Craft Company, Chic-yCow and Curious Cat Creative!

So, if you are looking to support handmade this Christmas, and you live local to Barnsley - get yourself down to Elsecar Heritage Centre on the 10th and 11th between 10am and 4pm!

Don't worry if you're not local - you can still shop handmade via my online shop 

www.madebylolly.folksy.com right up until the 19th December 

But... don't leave it too late -

I'm expecting some items to sell out at this weekend's fair!
