Everyone's a Winner in Our Crafted Birthday Wishes Competition

A month before our birthday we asked you, our crafter customers to send us your crafted birthday wishes. Beautiful gifts come in all shapes and sizes, and all different materials so we asked you to let your imaginations run wild! Sew a bunting, Knit a teddy or create a fantastic birthday card – the possibilities really were endless.

We were so overwhelmed by the amount of beautiful crafted wishes we received, it was a joy to have them on display in the office before our birthday celebrations kicked off!

Paul Wright our Co-founder and Chairman was thrilled to see so many beautiful makes that he explained that everyone had to be a winner! So he decided on top of the main winner receiving £25 credit to spend at Hochanda, he’d like to give everyone who entered £10 on their account too!

Here’s all your beautiful makes;

We had entries from far and wide, here is the list of crafted birthday wishes that were received;

Meet the Presenter - Matt MacNamara

1. How did you first get introduced to crafts? I’ve always loved craft and had such great respect for anyone who makes and creates crafty items. At craft fairs it is always me that holds up everyone else in the group while I chat to the people on the stalls about what they have made. My wife Karen, or Mrs M, is very crafty too. She’s into the classic decoupage, upcycling old boxes and furniture. She also makes her own jewellery and I sometimes help her run the stalls at craft fairs.. 2. What have been your highlights so far on Hochanda? We have a very talented pool of guests, so there is always something so creative going on in the studio, so honestly, every day is highlight. I’ve also had the good fortune to have tried several crafts for the first time ever. It’s pleasantly surprising to discover that to be a good crafter you don’t necessarily have to be artistic, you just need to be imaginative and creative. We all have our own...

Barbara Gray - Giveaway

Who caught the wonderful demonstrations from Barbara Gray on Sunday, and again yesterday? Barbara inspired us all, as ever, and we had some busy shows. Barbara even jumped onto the phones to help with a customer query! That's the beauty of having our customer services and order line in house - and brilliant guests who are happy to have a natter to our callers. Barbara has also, generously, donated one of the pieces from the show, as a giveaway on todays blog post. Isn't it beautiful. If you would like a chance to win this masterpiece, then all you need to do is leave a comment on this post, and someone will be picked at random tomorrow evening. Good luck everyone.
