hooray! New Studio!
At last after 7 years of waiting I’ve got a new studio ! Can’t wait to have most of my stuff out of the house and my loom saved from the garden!!
Not quite sure how I’m going to afford it but I’ll just have to chase those potential commissions! ( I have a few) tapestry portaits in the potential pipe line!
Any way I’d better get on…
just desperate to tell you!
what I’ve been up too!
apart from looking after tootsie…I’ve been grabbing time to knit these for sale… have a look in my etsy shop byemmajo.etsy.com
I’ve also been given a lot of fabric for using on scarves which is great so I’ve been cutting like mad to get resady to sew and get ready for a craft fair on the 21st!!
One of each colourway I’ve done! many more colourways to do my wool stock is pretty amazing!
lots of interest in these!
Wow! my waistcoats are going like CRAZY! I had a fantastic day at the made in the shade craft fair yesterday at the light house.
Here’s some pics!
All these waistcoats are available at my shop www.jemmajo.etsy.com
Also sold a lot of scarves which was good!
Downstairs tootsie is putting up the tree with daddy.

just about to start another one but suddenly realised I hadn’t posted a pic of the finished waistcoat!

Have pinned pinks and lilacs and blues onto the more turquoise one already!

BRAND NEW shop on Etsy!
I’ve at last opened a new shop for the j’emmajo scarves and moved them there from my knitting shop byemmajo. This may seem a little strange to do that but I’ve had so many commissions for scarves recently that it seemed to be the right thing to do and not have them mixed up with knitting and other things. Actually I named the shop back in april but couldn’t decide whether to or not…
Today I’ve pinned out a gorgeously rich chocolate brown scarf with purples and blues will get a photograph soon…I also started doing some wee cotton bags but am not sure………….will photo them when I think they are right.
long day today
got some amazing 60’s shelves that someone had put out for rubbish…nice and narrow will look fantastic with a lick of paint!Will be great in the hall.and FREE!!! Dad helped me get them into his car though we had to go and buy screwdriver to get legs off first!!
Then went to the park as had promised the wean……….spent a couple of hours there before we got rained on and went home.
Actually did send an invoice and two red cashmere scarves up to invercottage – fantastic resteraunt on loch fyne in the west coast of scotland. They are situated on the side of the loch right next to castle Lachlan which is the ancient home of the Maclachlans. I’ve been making exclusive cashmere tartan applique scarves for them! They are made using the same principal as the pashminas in my shop but with light wool tartan tabs. Really really contemporary looking and gorgeous!
Turned out to be a nice evening so I’m off out to sit on the front step and watch tghe world go by with the wean.
