The July schedule is up! I don’t hold as many classes in the summer, but you can always book a private workshop here if you wish. Come down and have some fun this summer! The shop is air conditioned too. 😏

If you need a new project bag to spark your creative spirits, maybe the mac and cheese bag? And some coordinating cheesy coloured yarn? Think of the pasta-bilities! 😂😂😂
The shop is open until 5:00pm today.

Well this looks more like my little shop again! The perfect purple, sparkle varnished unicorn and the door open to welcome you in!
I owe a big thank you to wonderful people who have been helping me paint-Tracy, Pete and Sarah-you have no idea how much I appreciate your help! My little shop is pretty big when you have to paint the whole building! Just the sides to go and then it’s done! 💜🦄💜🦄💜🦄💜

It has started! And it’s going to look gloriously purple! The winning colour is “Just a Fairytale”-how incredibly suitable for a unicorn shop!

Sock knitting time! If you know the basics of knitting, you are ready for socks! The next series of classes begins this Sunday! In three weeks you could know how to knit socks! Just think how many you could make before Christmas!

If you’re looking for somewhere to be today, the shop will be open from 12-3pm if you wish to pop down! Some of the other shops will also be open at the cove.
And this week the weather is finally looking like it might cooperate so the shop can be PURPLE again!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
