Making things at the make lounge...

♥ Ceri makes...  was lucky enough to be invited along to the make lounge in Islington to a stamp making workshop sponsored by snapfish.  Lots of fellow bloggers in attendance,  cupcakes galore and yummy champagne.  We set to work on our stamps under the careful guidance of the lovely zeena shah of heart zeena


I created a simple birds motif which looked lovely on envelopes and note paper...






Also a huge thanks to snapfish for a fun evening and the generous goody bag  ...I  look forwards to using my snapfish vouchers to print lots of pictures and maybe even a photo book!

The make lounge is a beautiful studio in a great location and I would definitely recommend all you crafty folk out there to check out the workshops that they run here...  http://www.themakelounge.com/workshops

A crafty afternoon at the Tooting Tram & Social...

♥ Ceri makes...  spent my Sunday afternoon indulging in craft and cake at the secret gem that is the Tooting Tram & Social.  As part of a series of summer pop-up events organised by the fab SW Craft Club there was a host of activities and demonstrations to try.  

Myself and Kate got involved with the fabric brooches stand that was run by Crafty Pint  (...check out the web page for upcoming workshops!).  A super simple technique  involving very little skill and just an ounce of patience resulted in this crafty creation...




After all the nifty stitching on our fabric brooches we rewarded ourselves with a truly scrumptious ferrero rocher vegan cupcake from MsCupcake's stand.  Evidence of the delicious-ness below...



A perfect way to while away a sunny Sunday afternoon, delightful!
