So it's Christmas Eve, all the food has been bought, all the house has been cleaned and all the presents have been wrapped, which just leaves me to say....

                                   ....Have a Fabulous Christmas every body....

You all deserve it so take the time to enjoy it, cos I know you've all been good...ish !!!

I was going to make a new dress for tomorrow but seem to have run out of time :-(...maybe Santa will bring me one.!! Mind you I still have plenty hanging in the wardrobe, lol. Which leads me to wk 3 of Dressember.

This weeks news...

It's been a busy weekend so far. Saturday was our workshop preview and taster day for the Spring workshops. Obviously there was a Christmas theme in the air.!!




This is my Harry Worth impression..


I have been promising to make Kaz a frock for nearly a year, and I finally got round to finishing it. This is her lady like pose...


In fact I got quite a few of the staff and tutors into frocks, lol


The lovely Teresa and her girls made their usual to die for cakes


and cake pops


and more cakes.


Just check out this absolutely stunning ceramic piece that the lovely Bry and Donna made for me. Every bit of the clock, heart and embellishments are ceramic. Although I am smiling here, when they first presented it to me I was so overwhelmed that I cried. It really is a stunning piece and I am so honoured that it is now mine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you want to see some more of their work pop over to their website Bad Ceramics.


The lovely Sandra in our matching cardies. I am holding a card with a drawing of me as an angel, lol. It was drawn by the lovely Michelle and it is such a good likeness of me it is uncanny, lol.
