WE HAVE SHOP!

This is a sadly belated post about our brand spanking new and so very amazing POP-UP SHOP! As you may know we are nestled amongst  the wooden buildings of  the German Market. Every night we are privileged to share the skating experience with the wild and zany sounds from the ice rink and the smells of hot nuts and sausages permeate the air around us! It's definitely a rather Christmassy experience!

I wanted to introduce you to our little project when the light was lovely and not so gloomy, so here you have it: Making Things Club Pop-Up shop!

Oh let's not forget our fantastic WORKSHOP! Everyday until Christmas Eve, we'll have awesome Make and Takes for you and the babies and EVERYONE! And we'll have evening workshops for all sorts from knitting to gift wrapping! Check out our website for details! (www.makingthingsclub.co.uk)

I hope we get to see you soon! Either Chris or I will be here every day
 Here's a list of all our fantastic makers! Just click on their picture!
 Oh and don't forget Making Things Club this Sunday!

Happy //Saturday!

Tiny hints for Tiny Gifts.

This month at Making Things Club we are doing a bit of a swaperoo with the Manchester Craft Mafia.

Here are some hints,maybe a little inspiration, for a tiny gift you would wanna make to give your new pal!

I basically think this hair comb idear is the tops! It's so cute and super simple!  via Lemon Jittery

These are the cutest and coziest looking mittens ever! And super easy to make!! via Trendy Pics

These produce bags looks super simple, and only involve you know math skills 

and sewing machine know how! . via Delia Creates.

And for something a bit more Christmasy the cutest button ornaments ever! via Martha Stewart.

Happy Making! xx,Lori

Friends of MTC:Howkapow!

Last night I went to see the brand spanking new pop up shop from the awesome folks behind Howkapow! Let's just say it's graphic and beautiful.

It's full of treasures and neat surprises, and they even treated their guests to some homebrew (which of course I didn't try! )

SO if you are in the neighborhood pop by they are in good Ol' Quakers Friars in Cabot Circus!

A Spooky MTC!

This past Making Things Club was a blast! We had face painting and bat bow  and mask making! It was the tops! I spent the coupla days before perfecting my spooky play list and I must say I think it worked well!
My most proud achievement was the skeleton banner I made! It took me a week solid of cutting and sticking together! (mainly cause I'm a lazy bones!)
But honestly what made Making Things Club was you guys and the love of a good friend that helps you out! (You  know who!)

What awaits you are the most darkest photos ever!

p.s. Here's my favourite Look What I made photos! If you wanna see them all check 'em out here!

Less than one week to Halloween! I'm so very excited! See you guys soon!
