Summertime Blog July 18








The sun has got his hat on hip hip hip hooooooray!!! (and we may also want the above camper van)

Hermoine here, part time BellaCrafter and full time Mummy, just starting the school summer holidays…!  For us parents, the summer holidays can be viewed with some trepidation, what are we to fill our days with?! No need to panic, we are on standby to lend a helping hand!  On those long summer evenings, with the small humans in bed, why not check out our Pinterest board, full of crafty inspiration to keep minds and bodies occupied!


Summer seems to just lift everyone’s spirit, it is the time for infinite fun and holidays to sunny destinations! Even better, if our current heatwave continues, we may not even have to travel very far!

One of our favourite things here at BellaCrafts (aside from seeing you lovely lot in The Barn) is the number of events and festivals we are invited to attend over the summer months. We will certainly be clocking up the miles!!  Here are just a few of the events we will be attending…..brace yourself:

    


We are very excited to be involved with so many events this summer, we may even see you out and about so please come and say hello! Don’t worry if not, we won’t be packing up the Bella Bus  and leaving The Barn unattended for the summer weeks, we will be open every day, as usual and have lots planned for you! (ok, we don’t have a Bella Bus, but we would so love a purple double decker crafting mobile, just saying).

So, first up, for you parents and looking afters of small humans, we have our School Holiday Club which runs every week day, 10-4pm!  A full or half day of crafty fun, booking essential which can be made online at https://www.bellacrafts.co.uk/book-here/school-holidays/ or by contacting us via the details below.


We also have themed craft parties which will be held every Thursday and Friday during the holidays which will be roarsome with a ‘Prehistoric Explorer’, ‘Teddy Bears Picnic’ and ‘Hawaii Beach’ craft party, again booking essential, fun and giggles included!
We are of course open every day for our drop-in craft activities, including ceramic painting, decopatch, glass painting and so much more.
Bella Doodles will also run as usual so please do pop by for your craft and cuppa with your little ones! These sessions are especially designed for 1 - 4 years so we really do have something for all!
And hey, us adults also need some downtime in the summer holidays don’t we (as much as we love spending time with the small humans over the 6 weeks!?!). So do check out the workshops we have coming up over the next few months.  We are particularly excited about our BellaCrafts special guest Michelle Johnson popping in this coming Sunday 22nd July to provide some        demonstrations on how to use Stix-2 products and a workshop on how to create an amazing floral bouquet wall hanging with over 20 techniques and skills to transfer onto your chosen craft projects, just stunning! And we still have spaces - just call us on 023 8051 7054
We are of course also on hand with crafting supplies and inspiration to fill those summer holidays so pop in at anytime for advice, or a chat, or some respite, hehe! For further inspiration (and to drown out the eleventy billioneth replay of The Greatest Showman soundtrack – which we actually love) do check out our Pinterest page and share you makes with us on Facebook, we would love to see them! https://www.pinterest.co.uk/bellacraftsltd/summer-holidays-what-shall-we-do-today/
Right, we better get cracking with our busy bellacrafts packing, as much as we love sharing with you, we have one or two events to attend!

Wishing you all a very happy summer holiday and hope to see you soon!!
