In the summer of of 2009, annA Ryder led a creative workshop for Mum’s and kids at Catesby Street Sure Start Centre. It sparked our imaginations and got our creative minds ticking… Karen Hall and I decided to make a gift for annA… an outofthebox, recycled, freestyle, pleasuretothesenses gift that would befit a creative soul. We drew, cut, sewed, hammered, glued, stitched, embroidered, rivetted and merged our creative ideas…


This is annA rydeR speaking – what I’m writing doesn’t really express properly what I want to say and I’ve tried several times! I am absolutely gob-smacked by this incredible bag made for me by Traci and Karen. The amount of work is flabberghasting. I have not stopped taking my bag with me wherever I go!
