MiN Mother's Day Showcase

Mother's Day is coming up on the 18th over here in the UK and isn't far away in the rest of the world too. So we thought we'd make a few suggestions.

Lucy's happy illustrations are sure to bring a smile to your mum's face.

Pink Hearts Mother's Day Card by Brittany Coxon

This card can be customised (we don't all call our mothers mummy after all), making it extra special.

1969 Disney Illustration handmade mini notebooks, pack of 4, recycled Disney annual by ReFabricates

If your mum is anything like mine she has a handbag full of notes and can never find a pen, these notebooks are just the right side to fit inside even the most cluttered handbag.

This wonderful, original brooch is so soft. It's perfect for pinning onto any coat, cardigan or bag.

Spoil your mum, these bath bombs make the perfect addition to a relaxing long bath.

Jo's cards are unique and custom made, drop her a line and she'll make one just for you.

Oh my, it's also St Patrick's Day soon (the day before Mother's Day) so keep your eyes open for a very green showcase coming your way soon. 

Needle felting at Newcastle City Library as part of Newcastle Fashion week

Well to kick off our links with Newcastle Fashion week workshop ventures, Made in Newcastle provided a array of felting fun at Newcastle City Library.

We had an array of visitors to our workshop, young and old and old and fun was had by all. We made felted necklaces, rings, as seen by one of our wonderful Newcastle Fashion week team, brooches using the wonderful medium of felt.

To learn more about the art of felt, I would thoroughly recommend one of my favourite informative sites - Sara's Texture Crafts.

Made in Newcastle would like to thank Sitting on the wall and Threadspider Textiles for delivering this workshop.
