Lara Craft - The Loom Raider

10/08/2024

It's holiday season, and like so many of us I'm looking forward to a much needed break. So I thought I'd share some of my holiday inspired designs this evening. 🙂

Cornwall is a regular spot for us to visit in the campervan, with Crantock near Newquay our go to place. Sadly, we haven't been down there in a while. Life, as it does, getting in the way.

But on a previous visit, a rainy afternoon inspired me to get out some paints and attempt to replicate a photo from a walk to Holywell Bay.

I'd say I'm an amateur painter, I dabble for the fun of it. But I love this one. Probably because it reminds me of that holiday, and that relaxing afternoon in the camper.

If you like it too, you can now order a print or a scatter cushion, so you can bring the Cornish coast into your home. Take a look here:

🛍️Product drop: ‘Run? I thought you said Rum’

Tonight I put my first set of samples to the test in a hot and sweaty Zumba class 🥵 and I wasn’t disappointed. The top is super light weight and very cool, the leggings comfy and stayed in place beautifully. The hat is just awesome!! I do love hats.

So if you’re looking for something new for your workout wardrobe, please have a look on my Etsy store.

Items are print on demand, so shipping takes a little longer. The hat was fulfilled in Wolverhampton so a few days, but the top/legging were from the US, so about 10-15 days.

I ordered the largest sizes available (Xl leggings/2XL top), which work out at about a 16-18 so sizes do come up small. Any questions, just drop me a message 🙂

Hey folks! It’s been a while. But I’m back designing and making 🤩 and have done a little overhaul of my Etsy store.

I’ve launched three new categories of print on demand products:

🪩 a colourful range of fitness clothing perfect for Zumba and other dance fitness classes

🦀 a range of vw camper and beach inspired clothing

🖼️ an arts and crafts section for prints, homewares and other bits and bobs featuring painting or photos I’ve created. This is where I’ll list random home makes too.

I’ll share some individual products in the near future. As they are print on demand, I want to double check quality (and shipping times) before posting here, but I only get three samples a month so this might take a while.

You can browse my store here, and drop me a message if you have any questions

As the colder months are approaching, I’ve been getting acquainted with a circular knitting loom. Hats, ear warmers and scrunchies so far but have a few other patterns to try out too, including something very autumnal 🎃
