August...

There is always lots of new news at Elisa Loves! The last few weeks have seen some great new events tried and tested, some further new ones in the pipeline, a request for Pagan designs, an exploding grinder and new collection ideas.
We were at the Craft at The Assembly Rooms in Chichester and Crafts in the Park in Queen Elizabeth Country Park in the first week of August. Both well organised and friendly events, great variety with good footfall. Further to attending these events we are also pleased to announce we will be at Love Southsea in Palmerston Road on the 5th October - look out for our purple gazebo!

So above you can see we have been working with the lovely Laura Adams from Cut.It.Out again to produce a selection of pagan designs. These were a request and have been very popular. A special selection will be available at the Annual Witches Fayre on 16th November.
Ahhhh the grinder exploded so that stuffed making more of my latest makes the funny birds (see above) - new grinder delivered this week though - phew!
The pad is filling up with new sketch designs and also some new product lines. These will include garden hangings, bottle openers and wine stoppers. So watch this space! Have a great weekend, EL x

Easter Break Activities and Woo to bulk fuel!!

I had a lovely Easter weekend. I got my seeds planted, went to visit my friend at the animal sanctuary, went for a meal for Clint's birthday and a few drinks with the girls.

This year I decided to plant my seeds in a bit more of an organised fashion. Last year I threw all remaining seeds in pots and well they all grew - I couldn't believe it. I had to shed plants like mad as sooo many I couldn't cope with them.
So I've invested in 3 propagators with individual little sections for each seed - I have 3 types of tomatoes, 2 types of pepper, courgettes and salad leaves. Controlled growing this year.

The Arc has goats, pigs, a horse, ferrets you name it - I liked the goats and pigs a lot they were such characters. Very silly and inquisitive!

I'm really excited - yesterday finally (I feel like I waited forever even though it was only 3 months) the problem with the gas pressure on my glass bead making set up was resolved. We took everything including the 13kg propane tank to the guys at Migtigarc who fiddled and adjusted. Turned out that the regulator I had wasn't quite right.

So this weekend along with some sushi and a friends housewarming I'm planning on getting down to some bead making.

Have a great one, E x
