Wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous New Year, even if it is a bit belatedly!
I've been busy as always and have been setting up my new workshop at my house. My other half Gary has converted his considerable shed into a beautiful room so that I can run craft workshops at home.

I have been teaching workshops at home in my lounge for the last few months as
The Make It Room and this has been very successful but means that I am forever tidying up indoors! Hence the move outside!

I used the very lovely wallpaper in this room as the inspiration for
The Make It Room and had Artwork by Angie design the branding for me, she is absolutely wonderful so use her if you need some help, she did exactly what I asked

So now the new workshop is ready and I'm moving stuff in all the time. it is lined with tongue and groove panelling which I am dying to paint but have promised to leave it for a few months to dry out! I have already held a couple of felting workshops in there and the room is lovely to work in, lots of natural light from two velux windows in the roof and a big window at the front!

So work has commenced on the website and Alex my daughter's boyfriend has built the website for me so that I can do the easy part and fill it up! Have a look and see what you think!
http://www.themakeitroom.co.uk . My friends Andrea and Jo are going to teach lots of workshops too: Andrea Art Clay Silver and jewellery making; and Jo Sugar craft cake decorating and bookbinding. Of course, this necessitates us having lots of practice runs to make all the examples for the website!
