2025 Wall Calendar

 2025 Wall Calendar 

Thanks very much to everyone who still finds their way to this blog! I got totally out of the way of updating it but found out recently that people still visit it so here's a quick update about my 2025 Calendar.

It was so popular this year that I had to restock so there are still some available! 

It features 12 different images, one for each month and I've included some soft pastel seascapes to mix it up a bit this year.

Aileen Clarke Crafts 2025 Wall Calendar 

£12.95

The images for each month measure 17 x 17 cm and are easy to framed after use.

Each page folds out with a whole calendar page to write on.

If you'd like to send one as a gift, I can post directly to the recipient with a message from you at no extra cost. The easiest way is to purchase through my Etsy shop here 

Best wishes,

Aileen ♥

January Sale 2022!

 

Hello 2022 and hello to anyone who finds their way to my Blog!

My annual SALE is now on!

Every year I have a big sale of all my jewellery pieces with imperfections and any end of line pieces.

Pendants usually £28 now £14, Earrings usually £20 now £10

                                       

I had some beautiful velvet fabric printed with my artwork in 2021 and trialed a few things using the printed images. These little square notebooks were one offs that I don't plan to add to my range so I have added them to my half price sale as well.

The main part of the notebook covers are made with Harris Tweed. The square notebook inside can be removed and replaced when full. 

Fabric Notebooks were £22.95 now £11.47

We had some lovely walks over the holiday in and around Falkland and up around Birnam and Dunkeld. 

East Lomond Hill from the Tyndall Bruce Monument.

It was great to get out and feel refreshed with beautiful scenery and chats with friends. 

I'm looking forward to getting back into felt making this month. I got some new fibres at the end of December and produced this abstract seascape just to try them out. I'll put a selection of new pieces like this up for sale in the Spring.

If you'd like to keep up with what's new from me in 2022 you can follow me on Facebook here or Instagram here.

A new addition to my range of Harris Tweed gift items are these Covered Notebooks. I've had some of my artwork professionally printed onto velvet fabric which I then sew onto Harris Tweed to make these notebook covers. They are lined with cotton fabric and act like a jacket and can be put onto any A5 notebook, diary, address book etc.
