We are not able to do this for you unfortunately, any changes from within your paypal account must be done by you the account holder.

Why are we closing?

MyEhive.com has been a massive learning curve in how to launch and run a digital product. For the last 3 years we have been learning by doing. We have decided to bring the daily operations of running myehive.com to a close. We would have liked MyEhive.com to have been a more commercial success, but it wasn’t so we had to make a painful decision to close operations, painful as many of you have become goods friends over the last 2 years and we didn’t want to let you down.

All is not lost!

Behind the scenes we have been building a digital platform for you that solves a real problem. We would like to share an exclusive invite for you to join us as early beta testers. It’s free. You can read more about CraftNation.com here: http://bit.ly/CraftNationLaunchPrivateBeta We need your help to spread the word about CraftNation.com and what it can do for you.

This is also the perfect opportunity to discuss the copy that goes with your product. Would this description entice you to buy this product? No offense to the seller who wrote it - I realise you have alot of things to be an expert at - selling online. But could a few descriptive informative words really help this product sing. It is only £14.95 too!

Are you crazy in love with fibre and wool?

Here are some more summer highlights to share with you from TigerLillyMakes based in Staffordshire.

“We took some fantastic pictures, here is Jackie’s Tuscan delight… simply stunning. Again Jackie had done done a wet felted-needle embellished picture before, however I think you will agree its simply beautiful.

The new winter courses have been released and are on the website, they have gained much interest particularly the cobweb scarves and hats, places have begun already to get booked up… so if you fancy a lovely day of felt-making I would recommend you book soon .

Wall Hanging with amazing detail!

Slippers made to your size!

Make A Felt Handbag

Step into Lisa Olson’s shoes at Tigerlily Makes in Lichfield in Staffordshire and experience an explosion of innovation in felt colour and design.

The interior positively exudes creative thinking. Lisa helps you create chic handbags, slippers, tea cosies, decorative bowls and jewellery. It is a testament to Lisa’s teaching skills and personality that ensure that the courses she runs weekly are frequently booked well in advance.

Guests come from all over the country and the world to take part in a Tigerlily Makes felt-making day, so far Tigerlily Makes has been host to ladies coming as far as Hawaii!

No prim and proper reserved “look as I do school of tutoring here”. Guests are encouraged to give full vent to their creative streak - we all have one! Felt-makers have full input to their own design, from choosing the colour of the wool fibre, form and finishing touches. However it is Lisa’s attention to personal detail that sets her apart in this craft, even down to welcome tea and cakes served with no less style than at the Ritz.
