Bumper harvest at Halfpenny Green Vineyards

2010-10-11T04:16:00.000-07:00

They are harvesting a bumper crop this year – and it is all down to the perfect mix of warm days and plenty of rain.

Halfpenny Green Vineyards owner Martin Vickers said the balmy temperatures in June and July meant more grapes had grown. And the disappointing August and September suited the grapes perfectly too. It comes as apple growers across the country also revealed they had seen a rise in crops.

Martin Vickers, who owns Halfpenny Green Vineyards, in Tom Lane, Bobbington, said up to 50 tons of grapes would be picked this year compared to the average crop of 35-40 tons.

Charlie's Ark

2010-09-27T06:12:00.000-07:00

Created by Mike Payne the creator and original artist of the "Me to You" Tatty Teddy, Charlie's Ark is a wonderful concept based around a little boy aged 5 who has a wooden toy ark full of animals. When Charlie says the magic words all the animals inside come to life.

Each story has a central theme of friendship, loving and sharing giving the child a subtle moral message on how to live life. The main character is of course Charlie, but his little sister Sally often features too, along with 34 animal characters each with rainbow top knots, manes and tails. The beautiful illustrations by Adam Pescott have been brought to life in the wonderful products you can find in-store now at Mountain Ash Crafts!

Aqua Marker 12 Set

2010-08-21T04:21:00.001-07:00

This is a one-stop answer for artists and crafters needing a balanced selection of water-based colour. It will appeal to Scrap bookers and Rubber Stampers and also to Water-colour Illustrators as an alternative to paint-based media.

Aqua ProMarkers use water based pigmented inks. These have the advantage of being water soluble - they can be easily blended, even when dried, giving the effects of water-colour paint but with the convenience of a marker.

Aqua ProMarkers are particularly suitable for popular craft activities. Being water based, they can be applied to rubber stamps and then easily cleaned away. And since pigmented ink is acid free and light fast, it gives the excellent colour longevity required by Scrap Bookers.

Aqua ProMarkers feature a unique brush shaped nib at one end, enabling a soft-edged application of colour.

Set includes 12 Aqua ProMarker colours plus a special ‘Blender’ marker that can be used to merge or drag applied colour.

Includes:
Lamp Black . Rose Carmine . Royal Purple
Twilight Blue . Aquamarine . Fern Green
Celery . Bamboo . Straw Yellow
Gold Ochre . Sepia . Flame Red
Blender Product Code: APMM1

The Hougie Board

2010-05-25T04:44:00.001-07:00

SO WHY DO I NEED A HOUGIE

At some time we have all said. "I'm no good at measuring" The truth is we can all measure. What we can't do is measure accurately. HOUGIE can.

HOUGIE has all the measures done for you. Centimetres and 1/2 cm on one side and inches and 1/2 inches on the other.

So, if the project says score a line at 6cm, turn the board to the centimetre side and score. There's no need to try and convert cm in to inches. They won't go - no matter how hard you try.

HOUGIE measures accurately and right first time. With this knowledge comes confidence. With confidence comes speed. So you can now make more projects in the time you have.

Confidence is up, Productivity is up and best of all. NO CRAFTERS FRUSTRATION.

Polar White

2009-07-07T08:32:00.001-07:00

Ever since Flower Soft® was launched in 2004, crafters have yearned for a pure white colour.

The Flower Soft® Ivory created fabulous results in their vintage snow scenes, but they all knew that white would be even more spectacular, particularly in more modern Christmas scenes. Well at long last, after 3 years of exhaustive research Katy Sue Designs Ltd are delighted to announce the launch of POLAR WHITE, the first new product in it’s premium Diamond Range.

This is a speciality colour with unique properties. Crafters will be amazed at the semi translucent and frosted effects of Polar White, which has been specifically created to work on white areas within designs. Polar White is set to be the season’s sensation by giving the most realistic snow effects ever seen in paper crafts.

Available to order from Mountain Ash Crafts July 15th 2009

Origin launches social networking site for craft lovers

2008-11-12T07:21:00.000-08:00

Origin Publishing is to launch a unique social networking website for craft enthusiasts – craftbubble.com. Aimed at female crafters from all disciplines, the website is being launched as ‘the UK’s favourite crafting community’ with a view to becoming the biggest social networking site for craft lovers in the world.

Anna Davenport, Creative Development Publisher at Origin Publishing, said: “We already run the world’s biggest cross-stitching forum at www.cross-stitching.com, and a social networking platform seems the next logical step. Crafters love to share their knowledge, meet fellow crafters and display their work, and craftbubble.com will give them the opportunity to do this and so much more. The site will enable a global community of crafters to take their hobby and passion to a whole new level.” The website’s content will be 100% user driven and will cater for all disciplines of craft. Members will be able to create their own unique profile or ‘craft bubble’, upload and share projects in their own gallery, make new friends, create and join groups, blog, share tips and advice, and more.

The website will offer cross-platform packages to advertisers across craftbubble.com and Origin’s craft magazine and digital portfolio. The site will eventually look to offer advertisers the ability to tailor their messages to specific user interests.

Crafters will be able to pre-register for the site as from at http://register.craftbubble.com/index.php?do=/signup/ and gain full access. Membership is free and all new members will receive three free craft projects to download.
