Summer crafting  BOTHY THREADS Bothy has introduced new seasonal designs by Amanda Loverseed. The featured kit is entitled: Summer Time (ref XAL4), measures 24cm x 24cm and is stitched on 14hpi Aida with organza overlay. info@bothythreads.com https://www.bothythreads.com PEAK DALE PRODUCTS Peak Dale Products flower presses are made from sturdy 6mm thick MDF board which is strong enough to flatten and press most flowers. Wouldn’t it be nice to preserve your wedding bouquet or birthday flowers forever? Or maybe keep a botany diary and press leaves for your journal? The boards are left plain for you to decorate and come in three different sizes. For extra succulent flowers, there’s the Deluxe range: these are made from 9mm plywood and therefore super strong. They come with a bonded, decorative picture on the front, and come in a choice of square (150mm x 150mm) or large (240mm x 190mm). sales@peakdaleproducts.co.uk www.peakdaleproducts.co.uk HAWTHORN HANDMADE Hawthorn has introduced a black version of their Rose Garden design.
