A Union In Flora


Wedding Flora

The big day has arrived!

Today Heather will become Mrs Heather Glossop

I couldn't be happier, the bouquet and the buttonhole are a representation of our origins.

Those that know me will know I'm a Yorkshire man through and through ( good points and bad points)

Heather is Scottish by birth, to us it made perfect sense to combine the Yorkshire rose and the Scottish thistle in our wedding flowers.

The florist has made a lovely job of them.





Thanks for looking and all your well wishes xx
Mr & Mrs Glossop

Crafty Urchins Powertex Workshop

And The Results Are

We recently did a couple of Sundays at Crafty Urchins in Cheadle Staffs.

I think you will agree the results are stunning and hopefully a great day was had by all.


The Pixie houses were made in the morning and the Christmas tress were made in the afternoon.

Both finished projects were painted at the end.

I you would like to do these projects as either a small or a large group send us a message and we will see what we can arrange.

Classy Conical Christmas Trees

Pixies On Parade

Another fantastic Sunday afternoon crafting in Cheadle.

A re-visit to Crafty Urchins for a pair of lovely Christmas projects.

The morning sessions was taken up by a parade of pixie houses and like the pixies that live in them they came in various shapes and sizes.

The afternoon was spent doing classy conical Christmas trees.

Both projects taught using Powertex products and taught by yours Truly and assisted by Heather, both of us are accredited Powertex Tutors.

If you would like to do projects like this at a venue near you or would like to do these projects using other products please send us a message at via our website.

Fantastic Statue Workshop at PDA Crafts


Ladies that Lunch

Its been a while since I taught a full size statue workshop.

It always amazes me how half a dozen people can sit down with the same set of kit and come up with such diverse creations.

The ladies in this workshop all produced excellent pieces as you can see from the pictures.
