Clear out part 2...handmade goods. Here are some things I've knitted and sewn recently that are looking for new homes. I know it's too hot to be thinking about knitted goods at the moment, but maybe they would make nice gifts for little ones this autumn/winter? Please get in touch if you want to find out more about sizes, prices etc. Leave a comment here, or email me at: hellomique@gmail.com :)

Bon voyage!

I made some more felt toys. Some of them are probably flying across oceans at this moment, on their way to their new homes. I wish I could have joined them, considering the weather we're enduring here at the moment...

Bears!

Some new additions to the family :)

fuzzy buzzy

The bees are back home! Thanks to those of you who made it to the show.

Someone is very happy to have these little fuzzy buzzy creatures home. They have been enjoying numerous train rides since their return :)

Go see the Bees!

It's the last few days of the "Bees In The Woods" so go check it out! 

Dare I mention it in October?...You can even start your Christmas shopping early and pick up an original handmade treat, ooh!

We have a selection of bespoke handcrafted Bee Bags (Oki loves his, and fills it full of toys for every outing), screen printed "B" bags, and I have just knitted a big brown bear, who will hopefully be there to say hello tomorrow. 

You will also find a whole range of lovely goodies by top talented people :)

Tomorrow, Professor Dave Goulson (founder of Bumblebee Conservation Trust and author of A Sting In The Tale) will be at the ONCA Gallery between 4-6pm for book signing and Q&As about how we can reduce the bee decline.

We won't be able to make it, but hopefully my brown bear will be there taking notes.

My bee hexagon

We've been asked to make and decorate our own hexagons, as part of the window display for the "Bees In The Woods" exhibition, which starts this Friday 4th October. 
Here's mine. Just a bit of fun ;)
Looking forward to seeing what the other artists come up with!

A sneaky peek

I've been invited to take part in a group exhibition called "Bees In The Woods" at the ONCA Gallery in Brighton, by the lovely and talented Mia Underwood. It will be on from Friday 4th- Monday 14th October, with the private view from 6:30pm on Friday 4th. 

There will be all kinds of things going on on the night, as well as throughout the show: book signings, crafty workshops, performances...plus 10% of all sales goes towards LASI research (University of Sussex) to help save our British bees! Check here for full listings.

Here's a sneaky peek of what I've been making. The Bee bag Oki is modeling is a collaboration between myself and my partner Sam :)

Only a week to go and still so much to do!!

more sewing!

Here's another bag I sewed recently for another special birthday girl. I hope they have many adventures together!

the weekend after

We picked up our plates today, hooray! I'm really pleased with how they turned out, and I think Oki enjoyed eating his lunch off his brand new steeeeeam train plate. So much fun exploring new territory :)

Here is a felt bag I sewed for my friends' little girl who will be turning two in a couple of days. Hopefully they are too busy preparing for her birthday party to be checking in here, so it'll still be a surprise when she unwraps it tomorrow, hee hee!
