Well we have now some great core products which are selling really well and getting into the swing of things only after 6 months of trading!!

Now’s the time to think ahead to next year and future plans to grow our product range to provide our customers with more choice to what they would like to buy from us.

Therefore, I have recently attended a fab Laser Course at Shore Cottage Studio in Liverpool.  For those of you that are fans of “George’s amazing spaces” you may recognise their studio. 

The setting of the studio is great, and my teacher for the weekend, Kris was amazing.  I learnt so much in such a short period of time.  Cant wait for next year to purchase a laser of my own to be able to produce some great personalised items.

So I’m pleased to say look forward to next year, as we will be able to create keyrings, dog tags and personalised buttons to our dog coats, and a host of new and exciting products!

Over the past three months we have launched new products, seatbelts, dog coats and harnesses, which all have been a great success.  Therefore, as part of extending our range I have attended a great leather course by Phenix Studios in Hexham.  Andy was a great teacher, one of his many claims to fame is that specialises in making products for museums and props for TV and film such as Beowulf.

Andy has provided me so many new skills I can’t wait to put into practice, I have even helped him add piece in the book he is currently writing, how exciting!!

The end result will be to create and design hand sewn leather collars and leads.  This was my first session to learn the skills required and make collars, whilst a second session later in the year will extend my knowledge to create leads and learn some more fabulous techniques!!
