So yesterday was all about designing and making le So yesterday was all about designing and making leather earrings and pendants. It was the end of year giveaway and these lovely ladies walked through the door for an afternoon of #leather crafting. My key words for the afternoon was keep it simple, why over complicate... you don’t have too. I was really impressed with colour combinations and in particular Rachel’s technical approach to the task. 10/10 everyone. ☺️👍🏽 . . #deborettecreative #imadeitinthejq #jewellery #leathercraft #lifelonglearning #jq #giveaway

That’s number three.... On Sunday we had Jaqueline and hubby celebrating their third wedding anniversary. So that’s my second third wedding anniversary..... did you know that leather is the traditional wedding 3rd anniversary gift in the UK and US?

Leather Jewellery Workshop GIVEAWAY✨!!!!!!! 😀 Leather Jewellery Workshop GIVEAWAY✨!!!!!!! 😀 It seems nobody reads my newsletter. 🤔 My recent newsletter gave subscribers the opportunity to win two spaces for an afternoon of making leather earrings and pendants. Did I send it out at the wrong time? Maybe 😬- anyway if you would like to win two spaces, yes that’s two spaces for you and a friend, family member or partner all you need to do is: . . . * - Follow @deborettecreative * - Tag a friend, family member or partner that would appreciate the gesture. That’s it... simple. Positive well-being and spending time with loved ones is one of the most important things we should all do and at times we are guilty of not making time to do so. This is the perfect way to spend some time being creative and just taking a bit of time out. I’m old school.... all names will be pulled out of a hat(maybe a cup) on Sunday 12th January at 12 noon. . . Terms There are four places available for people who follow Deborette Creative. Each winner will have two places. The jewellery findings will be silver and silver plate only. There is no cost to take part, but if you require a silver chain for your pendant this can be purchased at an additional cost. The date of the workshop is Sunday 2nd February 2020 at 2.00-4.30pm. Please note this is the only date available for this giveaway. I will be taking photos for social media and your plus one gives consent for this as do yourself, they also need to be 18+. . . #deborettecreative #giveaway #imadeitinthejq #friendship #creative #making #jq
I really couldn’t think of a better way to kick I really couldn’t think of a better way to kick off the New Year than an 11th Birthday party. All of the girls were brill with some super fast/confident sewing. They did #backstitch and #whippingstitch to make they’re leather purses. They also made a keyring and book mark. The sugar definitely kicked in after lunch 😂 and I fully apologise to mom and dad of birthday girl for the tram/train journey home. 😬 #happynewyear everyone. . . #deborettecreative #imadeitinthejq #imadethat #imadeit #jq @leather_uk
Well that’s it! My last 2019 workshop finished # Well that’s it! My last 2019 workshop finished #xmastassels another great session of gift making🎁. It was good to see Tash and Caroline again... ☺️and to welcome Suzanne and Sharon. I just want to say a big thank you to everyone who has walked through the studio doors this year whether it be for workshops, shortcourses, to buy @b18leather products, commission work or to attend @jqopenstudios your support enables me to keep making, teaching and supporting young people via @project18brum ( formerly known as @hockleymade ). . When attending selling events this festive season ive found myself explaining that this is what I do.... I make, sell and show people how to make things. Think when your on holiday and there’s that person that makes leather goods for a living.... you like what they make and may buy a bag or purse from them... well that’s me in the UK. They then get it! This isn’t a hobby or side hustle..... I started making leather goods when I was working full time as a teacher.... I then went part time as a teacher for my well being and to spend more time making.....I took redundancy two years ago when my school decided textiles technology was no longer worthy and dropped it from the curriculum .....during the run up to leaving School I started pop up workshops in the #JQ..... this is my job and I love it... yes there are financial pressures and it’s not easy.. but please value what I and other makers do. Merry Christmas everyone, the end of this year is an uncertain one for many of us but let’s remember to be kind to each other. . . . #deborettecreative #imadeitinthejq #leatherlearning #workshop #jq #madeinthejq #jqopenstudios #b18leather
These ladies made their tote/carry all #bags today These ladies made their tote/carry all #bags today with an hour to spare! I can’t believe they finished so quickly. Must have something to do with the fact that Ruth and Tina are running the half marathon tomorrow in Birmingham. Di said at the start that she is usually slow...🤔 I dont think so....😀 Also whilst chatting we discovered that we both taught at the same school in Bromley and knew some of the same staff! Di had taught there 20years prior to me....🙊 it’s such a small world. . . #deborettecreative #leathercraft #lifelonglearning #imadeitinthejq #imadeit #imadethat #leatherbag #jq #brum
