Lavender cats are back!

Back in the Girl Industries etsy shop and new to the folksy shop, too! New colourways will be coming soon, as I'm down to my last dozen of these handy little scented cats.

Shop update
Hello friends! I'm starting to realise there's a bit more to this having a baby malarky than watching her sleep peacefully while I crack on with a lovely bit of knitting.
In light of this, I'm going to extend the shop hiatus until the New Year, and see how we're doing then. As you can see from my lack of blog posts, and even the tweeting has slowed right down, it's taking. a while for me to adjust and to get into any kind of routine.
So while I'm here, I thought you'd like to know about a new Folksy shop, Creative Planet. My schoolfriend, Sue, has set this up following the recent birth of her little girl, with the aim of bringing beautiful but affordable handmade jewellery to everyone. And of course, Sue is now my crafting inspiration, as she is up and running just a few months after her baby arrived!

I've particularly got my eye on this Red Coral stretch bracelet for the Christmas party season - but Sue is in the process of adding more stock to her folksy shop all the time, so stop by for a look soon.

I'm hoping to be back in a week or so to share photos of the beautiful handmade gifts and cards we've received in the last couple of months.

Hot news about Hatastic!


Chloe Hayward designs chic, wearable and eco-friendly millinery pieces for a range of occasions - going by the name of Hatastic! I first heard about Chloe via Handmade UK and was thrilled when she agreed to answer some questions as part of the Answers on a Postcard zine project.
I'm excited to hear that Hatastic! is making its catwalk debut in the next 24 hours, so if you're in or around London, head on over to Spitalfields to see these beautiful pieces up close and personal. You might even snag some goodies if you're an early bird!
Full details are available on http://www.alternativearts.co.uk/, or hear hot news from the horse's mouth at www.twitter.com/hatastic, and you can snap up your own showstopper just in time for wedding season in the Hatastic folksy shop.

ALTERNATIVE FASHION WEEK
presented by Alternative Arts
19 - 23 APRIL 2010
Spitalfields Traders Market, Crispin Place, Brushfield St, London E1 6AA (Liverpool St Station)
HATASTIC! the home grown label from Surreys own Chloƫ Haywood (launched in March 2009) has been selected out of hundreds of applications from independent designers, to show her first collection on the catwalk at Alternative Fashion Week on Monday 19th April at 1:15pm at Spitalfields Traders Market accompanied by The Really Tight Corsettes a live contemporary Jazz band.
THE COLLECTION is called RECREATION and as is typical of AFW, original and recycled textiles are a major feature. The collection is 10 headpieces/fascinators made out of old games such as playing cards, jigsaws and even lego!
HATASTIC! a label aware of the environment and therefore is an eclectic range of unique handmade hats, fascinators and hair accessories inspired by the beautiful bits and bobs sourced from remnant boxes and junk shops. Elegant, witty and timeless - everything a hat (and a woman) should be! The bridal range is also incredibly popular. Bespoke service also so COMMISSIONS WELCOME!
ALTERNATIVE FASHION WEEK is where all the best new designers are to be discovered.
It provides a genuine alternative for them to present their work directly to the press, public and the fashion industry. Designers come from all over the UK and other parts of the world including Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Serbia, India.
THE FASHION MARKET that surrounds the catwalk from 11am to 5pm each day is a shopping sensation with stalls selling an exotic range of clothes, textiles and accessories.
Hatastic! will be there all week, and will be able to get a LIMITED EDITION Diamante Domino Hairclip until stocks last.
