Threads & Yarns....

Our lovely friend Zeena Shah (of I heart Zeena) is currently working on a very interesting project which its subject we hold very near to our heart.

Zeena will be there as an artist by facilitated a craft workshop for this intergenerational project bringing together young people, the elderly and craft generating personal accounts of health and well being from the last 75 years.

She says:
"It was a great project to be involved with and I'm really looking forward to showing off all our hard work at the V&A Museum this coming Monday.
Do come along, there will be a host of workshops, fascinating and funny stories and interesting seminars and lectures too!"

Everybody loves BUNTING!!!

Fancy a bit of a village fete in the heart of London? Help Ruby Shoes Rocks create bunting in aid of charity and beautify the area in some summery bunting flags.
There's so much happening and it's a real knees up... it's pretty much a traditional style summer fair!
AND it's not just about bunting but there's a whole load of activities including cycle rides, tea & cake and craft stalls.
But if making bunting is the thing you're after then come on the morning of the 31st to the Look Mum No Hands cafe on Old Street. You can even try to decorate the actual street with it! The public & passers-by will judge the event & then at the end there will be prizes! Wowzers...I bet it'll look pretty awesome!!!
It's a really great day out and perfect excuse to be creative, do a little shopping and enjoy the summer in the city.
