We’re starting 2007 as we mean to go on, with lots of new and exciting things happening in the world of Bunyip!
Firstly, our latest products, on the website, are Bead Girl Bags at incredibly reasonable prices. We use ours all the time and think every Bead Girl should show her allegance to the cause! Secondly, we are in the mid-stage of putting lots of new products on to the website. Foil-lined glass will fight for space with shell and bone beads so keep your eyes peeled for that perfect purchase! I am going to put some new threads on too, and hopefully some findings. Once the photos have been taken, it’s quite quick to get the products on to the site so you shouldn’t have to wait long.
We have had some very successful classes in the last few months. We hold Beginners on 2nd Tuesday of the month, from 5.45-7.45pm in the shop. This costs £10 and includes your first project and endless tea and biscuits. Cat Frampton (who runs the classes) never takes more than 6 people per class so you get lots of attention too. Please let us know if you want to book on to a course by email or phone. We also run Craft Club on the 4th Tuesday of every month, at the same time and place. This costs £5 (still including the tea!) and is more of a craft free-for-all! Come along with that piece you’re stuck on and let us help, or a picture of a piece you can’t work out, we’re up to any challenge! Or just come and spend 2 hours in the company of fellow beaders! We look forward to welcoming you to Bunyip.
We are pretty sure we’ll be in The Guardian Craft Guide on Saturday 3rd Feb, this should be a useful resource guide for any crafter so make sure you get your copy!
The next issue of Quick & Crafty Magazine will have a Beading Book pull-out included, which Mattie is featured in, with her answers to the (slightly odd) questions they sent. We did have a giggle taking the head & shoulders shot, hope it doesn’t look too dreadful! Get your copy to see the results and lots of lovely beady things.
I think that’s all the shop and website news for now. Here, we are busy preparing for the dreaded stock take on April Fools day and it being all change when Mattie takes Maternity leave for much of the summer. We’ll keep you up-dated on how both these events go! As always, let us know what you think of the site, service and products so we can learn and grow into a bigger, better Bunyip.
