SS12 leather dye samples

So as you can see, I like making a bit of a mess! It had been a long time since I last had an 'experiment day' and I had really missed faffing around in my kitchen sporting some rubber gloves! I wanted to try and create some prints for my new range of leather clutch bags. I loved the impression of the textured glove onto the leather & will be developing this further, stay tuned! One of the new styles is now in the shop; the 'treebark' print foldover leather clutch;

The 'Treebark' printed zipper clutch will soon follow;

Charity event

I had to share this with everyone.....my little cousin, who is only 5 will be running 3 miles to raise money for 'sports relief' charity. He saw one of the charity's adverts on TV, showing starving children in Africa, and asked his parents if he could send them some sausages and Bolognese sauce. So his parents suggested taking part in this run instead, to raise what he now calls his 'sausage money'. As well as finding this incredibly cute, I also found it really inspiring and want to take part in any way that I can. So 10% of the Karrah profits, from now until the race (25th March), will be going to the 'sausage fund'. In addition, I was hoping that some of my lovely readers would be so kind as to make a donation, by clicking here. Thanks in advance :)

I realise that most of you reading this won't be from England and may have never heard of sports relief. Basically, a series of sports related fund-raising events take place on March 25th and all of the money raised helps poor, underprivileged peole from all around the world. Even as little as £5 can help transform someones life; this is enough to buy provisions for a child working on the streets of Nepal. More information on the lives that need changing can be found on the sports relief website here.


                    

If doing a good deed wasn't enough of an incentive, I'm also running a prize draw! If you donate £2 or more you are eligible to enter. Just leave a message on this blog post to let me know that you would like your donation to count as an entry! Stay tuned for more details!

New season colours!

February already?!

I'm a little freaked out by how quickly the weeks seem to be rushing by! Christmas was only last week wasn't it?! On the plus side, it means that I can look forward to the warmer months :) Karrah HQ is currently a sea of pastel shades, so I thought I would share some of my colour inspiration to lighten the mood on this dull, grey day!
