Enterprising Local Folk

Just thought I'd give a shout out to a few talented and creative local people I know who are out there in the big wide world designing, making and selling their wares .... Firstly, Sheryl was one of my very first students who took to bag making like nothing else. She has recently launched her store on MadeIt.com. Her bags are beautifully made with quality materials.Great work Shez!

Next up is Heidi Adnum. I've known Heidi for many years, and at the time, I thought Heidi was heading for the corporate world and the food industry, but now she is an accomplished photographer and crafter. She has a great website and her photography and bunting is available on etsy, she also has a blog.


 Finally, Miranda Earle is a local fabric printing gal .... I've done a printing workshop with her and it was great fun. Her designs are intricate, rich and distinctive. Have a look at her Blue Caravan shop. She is also on Facebook.


It takes courage, lots of time and a degree of risk to venture down the path of a handmade business. I take my hat off to them and wish them well!
