Yet again it's been a while since I've managed to find the time to write a blog post. Since the last one (a good few weeks ago - when I launched the new fabric pouches) I have been working on custom tea towels, for customer's special events and for stockists, as well as attending one of the big London trade fairs and launching our new purse range. I'm so pleased with the purses, which are perfect for coins and bank cards (see above), you can take a look at them here on our BAGS page.

I feel that the purse selection really sum up what CMT is all about - clean lines, simple design and beautiful, quality items. It's fantastic to feature the cow parsley that surrounds the studio at this time of year, as well as our old favourites of course, pecking chickens! 

Until next time, hope you're having a super Bank Holiday weekend wherever you are, time for me to head back to the lavender-filled studio to catch up on a few orders from the weekend... cx

"The Sunday Post"

Hello and Happy Easter! I hope you are all having a wonderful bank holiday weekend. My day started with chocolate eggs for breakfast, which led to a general feeling of sickness as more chocolate was consumed throughout the day :) but it has been a fantastic and relaxing weekend, spent down in sunny Cornwall with friends and family. I am now feeling super-refreshed and keen to start some work, after a little bit more resting tomorrow... Easter Monday will hopefully be involving pancakes, mini eggs, egg painting, egg rolling, and Robert Pattinson in 'Remember Me'. I can't wait. News of fresh new designs coming very soon :) in the meantime, check out my website and I will catch you all later, x

"The Sunday Post"

Pheeeew - made it to the end of the week and to a glorious Sunday... I am surrounded by mountains of tea towels, and there has been much ironing, washing, and sewing of tea towels this week. I'm busy preparing stock for the Stroud International Textile Festival 1st - 23rd May, where I will have work for sale at the two main festival exhibition venues and the Made in Stroud shop in Stroud town centre!
And have finally got around to re-doing my tea towel display; being rolled and tied with a simple piece of string means the tea towel can easily be unrolled to view the whole design, and involving far fewer ironed creases, excellent news.
Keep your eyes peeled this week as I have new designs coming to my shop! But for now my lips are sealed :) have a great week everyone!
