Evening,
Today I was in the newspaper!!
The Tyrone Herald did a lovely write up.๐
This is an absolutely fantastic write up. ๐
I cannot stress enough how good sewing and crafting is for Mental Health.
My aim now is to get sewing clubs into a few more schools!
Have a lovey evening.
Hugs
Heather

Good Afternoon all,
The school summer holidays have srarted! One week down, 7 to go ๐ฎ๐๐
We go on our holidays very soon! I cannot wait!
The start of July is the start of #sewasoftie which is run by Coloured Buttons AKA Trixi, in Australia.
Each day of July a different blogger posts a tutorial, on their blog, showing how to make a cute softie!
The Duchie below is the one I made from Trixi's tutorial ๐
My day is 9th July ... which is also my birthday! ๐
Im really looking forward to that day!

Heres a photo of me sewing!
The memory bears I made for the teachers gifts caught the attention of the local newspaper!
They are doing a write up on my sewing and the benefits of sewing! It will be amazing to have sewing publicised! The health benefits needed shouting about! Arts & crafts are great for the body and soul ❤

I also made two butterfly hangers for two different teachers!
Lots of teacher sewing was happening in my home!!
Good Evening all,
Well thats the kiddies off school now until September!
In Northern Ireland our school break for Summer on the last weekday in June.
This year was Katie's last year at Primary school, so to mark her leaving we made her teacher and Headteacher a lovey gift each ... I would say that they are unique gifts ๐
I made them memory bears out of the kiddies spare school uniform!
