Welcome to the Loom of Doom!

Happy Halloween

Visibility Fair (the online craft event, not the Shipping Forecast!)

 

I’m excited to announce that Visibility Fair is now underway! I know it does sound a bit like the Shipping Forecast but it’s actually an online creative market!

The fair is a collaboration between Just a Card campaign and the Handmade Hour community, hosted on the innovative new Tresstle platform.

Lakeland Loom is proud to be taking part along with a whole host of talented artists so do please visit https://tresstle.com/events/visibility-fair to browse all the virtual stalls.

It’s a good opportunity to get ahead on your Christmas shopping or just find yourself a few treats.

Use discount code VF2021 for 10% off at the Lakeland Loom Folksy shop - enjoy!

Forthcoming online event: Visibility Fair by Just a Card and Handmade Hour

I’m delighted to report that Lakeland Loom has been selected to take part in an online event called Visibility Fair. It’s being organised by Handmade Hour, Just a Card and Tresstle and runs from Monday 27th September until Friday 1st October 2021. More details to follow!

It’s never too late to Loom!

 

Never let anyone tell you it’s too late to do, try or be anything you want!

Fly me to the Loom!

 …and let me play among the beads!

Picture perfect: Lakeside Sunset

 

I love the Windermere Lake Cruises webcams - I get so much inspiration from them. This sunset at Lakeside is simply begging me to transform it into a bead loom pattern!

Live and let Loom!

 

Excellent words to live by!

Keep an eye on Folksy!

 Keep an eye on the Lakeland Loom folksy shop in the next few weeks!

A cuff to match my ‘The Mountains Are Calling’ pendant is on the way!

Live, Laugh, Loom

 

Because life’s too short for anything else!

First try at a product video

 

These days, and certainly since the pandemic, video is essential for online sellers. Therefore, I decided it was high time I joined in!

Lakeland Loom business cards

I thought it was about time I had some business cards! If you are a Folksy seller you get a 30% discount from Moo so I went with them and ordered a box of fifty. I absolutely love them! I chose a lovely green background (I use a lot of green in my pieces) and positioned my logo at the top. I then added my business strapline, website address and socials.

On the reverse I selected one of my favourite pieces to showcase - the colourful 'Beside The Lake' pendant. I couldn't see a way to have an assortment of images which was a shame but I'm still very happy.

Don’t they look fab fanned out!

So if you’re a Folksy shop owner and you need new business cards don’t forget to use your discount! The link can be found on the left hand side of the seller dashboard under the ‘offers’ heading.

Lakeland Loom’s first Folksy Friday feature!

I was chuffed to be featured on a Folksy Friday board for the first time a couple of days ago!

This collage was created by a talented stitcher called Amanda from the Folksy shop Plum Porridge.

Amanda included my 'Claife Viewing Station' bead loomed pendant along with colourful items from nine other amazing folksy.com sellers.

Lakeland Loom Folksy shop

The Lakeland Loom Folksy shop is filling up nicely. Bead loomed cuff bracelets have now joined the pendants, and there are also a couple of polymer clay heart necklaces. 

Since opening in January my work has been featured in four Folksy gift guides, including the prestigious Folksy Favourites - "a selection of our very favourite things, as picked by the Folksy team".
