Above are a couple of cushions from the workshops held yesterday, to make Kirsty Allsop inspired hare cushions. You may remember she visited Cowslip Workshops near Launceston ( which is one of our favourite places too) to spend a day with Jo Colwill, who showed her how to do hand applique and make her cushion, in the TV series a year or two ago. Most of our cushions are yet to be finished, but I promise to post the final pictures soon.
As the days are getting more autumnal we've decided to hold a few simple workshops on Wednesday mornings, to lift our spirits a little!
Amongst those planned are rolled roses made from felt, for hair slides or brooches & beautiful corsages, which would look great on a winter coat or bag. (pictured above).
Looking a little further ahead, towards Halloween, we'll be making a paper garland, on a Wednesday and a felt bunting style garland on a Saturday..............
Also in October there is a chance to make an owl cushion similar to this one...
If you'd like any more information about our workshops, please call into the shop or email me at

Finally I'd just like to show you a lap blanket made in some of the lovely colours of the new Rico yarns Nature range. This blanket cost just £15 to make which surely has to get the crochet for Christmas cogs moving!
