Exciting times with William Blyth

The William Blyth centre is one of the old tile makers on the banks of the Humber which is currently being restored and turned into a craft centre with workshops for traditional crafts, a restaurant and shop.  There will be hands on workshops held throughout the year, and local crafts sold in the shop.  Such a fabulous honour to have been asked about stocking my soaps, scrubs and melts in the shop once it's all up and running.  There may even be some soapmaking workshops!

More info can be found in this local newspaper article, with more gorgeous piccies of the place.

Heck..

 I think I'm going to meet myself coming backwards over the next few days....I've certainly been extremely busy and I can't see that ending for the next few weeks!  The above soap is Lemon and Ginger.  It smells gorgeous...lovely and zingy. 

 This is Organic Geranium Rose, which also smells lovely.  I admit I'm rather biased as I don't think I could make a soap that I didn't like the scent of myself.  Also ready is the Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Pine, but I didn't put a picture up as it looks just like the above soaps ;o).  This one smells really fresh...definitely clear those sinuses for you!

The family and I are away for a few days next week, then I come back with no spare time to get ready for my first craft fair.  Poor planning or what :o).  Anyway, as everything has to be ready this weekend I was trying out different ways to display the samples.  I love the simplicity of these small glass fruit bowls.  What do you think?



This pile is pencil cases ready for sewing.  I'm happy to report they are all stitched up now..just got the finishing touches to add then there should be a piccie tomorrow.  So, I've just got a social network course to attend, the craft fair to get ready for and the packing to do before Sunday evening...no pressure at all.
