🥳WHAT A WEEK!!🙌👏
(Would you look at the state of me!?)😆🤷‍♀️
This is what behind the scenes planning and scheduling does to you! 🫣 Sitting in front of your laptop… flicking between Wix, Canva, Facebook and Insta 🤯😳 for 4x solid days!🙄🫣
My brain is fried! I can’t do another an hour 🥵 I’m done!
☝️But on the up-side 😆👍 We can now start to talk about Christmas because…
🏆🎄EVERY SINGLE WORKSHOP 🎄🏆
(Bar the odd one or two - because I want to recount and check stock- just to be sure!)
IS LOCKED AND LOADED! Baby!!🙌🥳

😆☝️Can’t freaking wait!?!
It’s beginning to look a lot like a hand made Christmas 🥰🎄👌

🍎👏EXCITING NEWS!!👏🍎
😱OMG OMG OMG!! I can FINALLY freaking talk about THIS!!!😆🤣✌️

🥰Earlier this Summer… Pink Lady Apples 💕🍎approached little ole me!?! (WTA!?) 🤭to help them design a crochet Apple wardrobe 👌 as part of their “Find your Fizz” campaign 🥳

😁It’s simply brilliant! Crochet your own Apple Cosy 🍎🧶in any design, any colour way, add accessories whatever you like 🤷‍♀️ and submit it to WIN 🏆 £1000 of 💜🇬🇧Liberty of London 💂‍♀️vouchers 😳🫨🙌
Go on! Give crochet a go!! You never know 🤷‍♀️ you may just get yourself hooked too!!😁🙌🤣

I absolutely L💕VE teaching beginners ‘how to’ Crochet 🧶 something they can proudly say “Yes! I made that!” and encouraging ☝️those that already can, to stretch their skills 😁👍 with intermediate workshops, and try their hand at wearables and blankets! 🙌
That’s what I love to do here at The Hidden Hive Workshops🐝.
(🤫 and… I won an award 🏆 for it!😉🤣🥰) I’m not a secret? 🤣🤷‍♀️ I’m just hidden away… in the heart of Bletchley, Milton Keynes as a small workshop setting 🙏 sharing my passion for crochet and creativity 🥳 all fuelled by conversation and homemade cake ☕️🍰

You can absolutely give this a go!! I’ve recorded videos 🎥 for you to be able to follow along, round by round!👍

🌟🍎 BEHIND THE SCENES... currently at The Hidden Hive Workshops 🐝 is little old me... 53 and 5'3'!🤣 working on something exciting!�Apologies are due... because I know I've been quiet on my socials lately but it's because I've had to disappear for a bit... 🤫 ��I'm... quietly... patiently... plotting (with a brand)😉👌 something BIG!!

We (the crocheters of the world) are going to stage a full-blown takeover this September 🍂🍁🍎🙌 All our phones will be put down, our hooks will be lifted, and everyone will be crocheting! 🤣😆 It's going to be like a whole world domination situation, basically... 🧶✊ involving some apples. 🤫

😬 I've been sworn to secrecy and I'm filming 🎬 it ALL atm, so I can't say much more about it right now...🤐🤫
But... ALL will be revealed in September, and then ☝️I promise I will then be able to tell you everything!👏🧶🍎

Until then... this is where I'm hiding... and trying to keep my shizz together... in this heat!🥵🔥☀️🍎
