To all of our current followers, Hello! And to our new followers… Welcome! As you may already know we offer a range of Upholstery Workshops in our stunning chapel in Scholar Green, which offer you the chance to learn a new craft and skills which you can use again and again in the future.
It has been 12 months now since we first ran our in person upholstery workshops here at Semper Hopkins – and what a year it has been! From starting with our Storage crate then introducing our Stool and Bench workshops later in 2021, and now our footstools and deep buttoned workshops… we have come a long way in so little time!
Where has 2022 gone? We are already at the end of March. This year marks a big milestone birthday for me. I turn 40 on the 21st April, very luck to share the same birthday as the Queen. At the beginning of the year I had considered writing up 40 things I wanted to do when I turn 40, but that seemed like a daunting task to think of 40 things and it takes precious time, so here I am just going along with it and doing it. My motto for 2022 was to do more things that make me happy, and doing less planning is one of them!

International Day of Happiness is on 20th March 2022 and takes place across the UN and its focus is build back happier and make peoples wellbeing a top priority. As we will all know, with how things have been the last two years, this day of happiness might not have always been the ‘happiest’. It was much harder to do things which made us happy last year with the UK being in lockdown, not being able to see those we love and not being able to do day to day activities we once, perhaps, took for granted!
Making time for yourself as a mother is one of the most important things you can do as part as self-care. Of course, keeping busy and looking after your children will be a main priority, and your work if that applies.
How did Semper Hopkins begin? Many years ago, I started learning upholstery so I could create furniture for my own home. In 2013 we carried out a huge renovation on […]
You might think an upholstery workshop at Semper Hopkins Upholstery Interiors is only suitable for those looking to learn a new skill but you are wrong, it is so much more.
How has the first month of 2022 gone for you? It feels like Christmas is an age ago now and the past month has flown by! January is usually the month I use to plan exciting things for the year ahead. I’ve been busy doing that as well as spinning several other plates!
Now that things are easing, why not take the chance to treat your mum this Mother’s Day to an upholstery workshop experience in Cheshire, that she will remember for a lifetime?
