[We Are] Fuzzy Felt Folk & Country Crafting take place at Macsorley's Music Bar this Sunday (Sunday March 1st). Made In The Shaders, Carrie & Clare will be entertaining Sunday loungers between 3pm - 7pm. Carrie will bring the 'country', Clare will being the 'crafting' and we'll all have a swell ole time!
There'll be colouring in (of course!) and Clare's crafty pub project this month is the ever-lovable sock puppet! Check the Country Crafting profile for more details.
Whoof! We have been utterly inundated with vendor applications for our Made In The Shade Springtime Jamboree at Oran Mor. We received twice as many applications than we have spaces so the team have had to make some REALLY tough decisions this season. However, we think we've succeeded in bringing y'all a fabulous, perfectly balanced selection of design, neo-craft and vintage lifestyle! Phew....

Hi there Made In The Shaders,
We swing by quickly this morning to share a little article you might be interested in. Our fabulous journo chum Claire has recently submitted a short piece to one of our very favourite publications, Amelia's Magazine and has very kindly given a little mention to Made In The Shade!
You can read the article here.
Please note though that there are a couple of wee errors in the story. 1) Made In The Shade is intended to be included in the article as another example of the rise of diy culture in Glasgow - not as an event affiliated with the GCM. 2) [We Are] Fuzzy Felt Folk & Country Crafting! take place in Macsorley's on the 1st Sunday of the month. FFF is run by Carrie Maclennan and Country Crafting! is run by Clare Nicolson. Neither of these events are affiliated with the GCM. They are run independently by a couple o' chums with a penchant for country music, colouring in, making things and chatting to friends over a whole bunch of rum! 3) Oh - and at the time of writing Clare Nicolson was the Mafia Don but has since taken on a new role with the group.
Phew! :o) Enjoy!
