Today I am officially becoming a blogger which is (I thought I best check) a person who keeps and updates a blog. So here goes, go easy on me it’s my first time……..
After a wee wander round the world it is time to dust off great grandma’s Singer as an over zealous tumble dry has left the bedroom curtains a metre or so too short.
To be honest the curtains are still pending but I did have giggle making Ivan (the Special Forces Monster) for my other half’s 30th, out of t-shirts kindly given to us by crazy Russians on the Trans Siberian Railway.
I am not to sure if this can compete with Miriam’s multi coloured tea cosy and her obsessive crocheting of mushrooms but the bar is being set.
As for business I am pleased to report Cupboard Under the Stairs have had not one, not two, but three official Cupboard tea drinking sessions and we are pleased to announce we have scored a pitch at the V&A village fete. So pop the date in the diary (24th/25th July) and come down and be cadavared.
We have also been rooting round the Bethnal Green Musuem of Childhood reminiscing about old games, chatting with Punch and Judy and trying to resist the desire to rob optical delicacies.
Up for discussion is Annette Messager (Hayward Gallery) as an old fan I can not diss the lady who hybrids taxidermy birds with care bears but are the crotch photos just a little bit too weird?
I am off to upload this now and if I succeed you will be sure to hear the pop of pink champagne ’til next time……….

Cast Ne’er A Clout ‘Til May Be Out
Posted on 13th July 2011 by Lucy
With spring in the air and thoughts of green shoots and rebirth, now is a good time to start our blog. The Cupboard team have been on tour – me doing hard graft on the motorways of England and Wales, Lucy further afield – and are pleased to report that flowers, new leaves, chocolate eggs, bunnies and blue skies are everywhere. From Bournemouth to North Wales and back again, the controls are set to spring.
Welcome! To a blog about: making things, selling things, starting a new thing, and, maybe, learning a thing, or two. Cupboard Under the Stairs is officially born. Without further ado we are straight out of the maternity ward and off to Prick Your Finger and our good friends Louise and Rachael’s beautiful shop for a show in June.
For now, the skies are grey and the air a little chilly, so cast ne’er a clout ’til May be out, or don’t strip off too soon, as Lancastrian mother once said. Put the kettle on and and wear an extra layer, we have some making to do…
