There are plenty of crafts throughout the pages of this blog to keep you busy in the comfort of your own home however for some, there is nothing quite like the meeting of like minded souls for a day of mindful creativity.
Join me on the outskirts of Liphook, Hampshire in the heart of the wonderful South Downs National Park for a day of Crafts at The Little House with Whitewood and Linen. We have created a sweet place alongside my home where you can come and join in one of the many fun-filled, creative days in a risk-free and totally all-inclusive crafty environment and where any level of experience is the only entry level required. Here is a place where everyone is encouraged to enjoy their creative time together, learning and growing without judgement.
You can choose from days spent stitching or sticking or painting or playing with petals. On crafty days here we work magic with candles and wire and wood and use fabric scraps in many a creative way. There quite simply is a craft for everyone.
And of course while you are here you get to visit beautiful Belle and sosmetimes you might meet the seasonally styled Doris too.
This is what those who attended the very first creative day had to say…
