All Go...so much to do so little time...

Well with the festive season fast approaching, 2 craft fayres to prepare for as well as preorders for Christmas felt bunting and name bunting, I am crafting as fast a my little hands will allow, sadly neglecting the housework! but heyho can't do everything.  Poorly little boy held things up a bit last week but he is now on the mend :0) which is good as he now has less than two weeks before he is off on his big adventure with school, 3 days and 2 nights away from home, for the first time ever!!!  At least I will have lots to do to keep me occupied whilst he is away as I have a craft fayre the day after he comes home.

Anyway, thought I would post a few picks of my latest commissioned bunting and also so of the T-Shirts my hubby has produced we are selling them at £6.99 for kids sizes up to 11 years and £7.99 for kids sizes 12/13 and £8.99 for adult sizes, they are available on my ebay shop helenjoebutler0121 or you can order direct on here if you want.

New designs are in the pipeline and also some new bag designs and printed canvas will post pics when they are finished. :0)

If you are interested in anything we make please get in touch.

HobbyCraft at the NEC only one more sleep!

So excited.....I'm off to the NEC tomorrow for Hobbycraft.....must make sure that I do not bankrupt myself!!!

Also just found out about a Christmas Craft fayre locally and I'm just waiting for a call back about booking a table it is going to be a busy couple of weeks.

Christmas Signs....getting in the mood now!

I have spent most of the weekend making some Christmas signs and chalkboards to put on Ebay and also sell at our school Christmas Fayre which is coming up soon, £3.99 (with £1.20 UK p&p) if anyone is interested.  Also some more felt bunting that will be listed on Etsy later today, another Snow and a Santa, these are £6.99 (with free p&p in the UK).

Christmas Felt Bunting

Well another weekend over, and also for us half term week, so little lad back to school in the morning, and back to the regular routine for me and hubby.  Loved the extra hour this morning not that it made any difference to the small boy and the kittens in our household, who were still awake at 7:00, which was of course 6:00 am today!  All tucked up sound asleep now though.

Today I've been working on making some lightly padded Christmas Felt Bunting, decorated felt shapes attached using the needle felting technique, snowflakes and sequins, all hand sewn.

Available to buy, Noel & Snow at £6.99 each (with free p&p within the UK) and Merry Christmas £10.99 (also free p&p within the UK).

Christening pressie received and loved!!

So the Christening pressie I made from my sick bed over the weekend has been received and loved my Mummy Scarlette, Daddy Daniel and baby Hudson, well not sure what Hudson really thinks of it, but Mummy & Daddy loved it so I can now share a photo, will be making some Christmas themed bunting over the weekend, think they might be good sellers this year and if not you can never have too many Christmas decs!

Wedding Centre Piece Commission

SO excited today.  My cousin is getting married next year and his lovely wife to be (who I've know since she was a young girl), has asked me to make some decorative candles for their table centre pieces and their top table.  She said she knows that I'll do a fantastic job and she wants something, elegant and vintage which is right up my street, so excited already have lots of bits and bobs I can use on them, just need to work out a style and get the candles ordered (mind you I do have until next May to get it done).  She needs about 25 church style candles decorating in different sizes and to give a genuine vintage feel she doesn't want them all to match, which is perfect for what I have in mind, it's going to be all about, vintage paper from old books, sheet music, distress inks, lace, pearls and diamante.  Cannot wait to get started.

Dreaded Bug Still Lives!

Still a bug stricken house...however things seem to be slowly improving so may get a chance to do a little crafting, at the very least some sketching and designing.  Will post later if I have anything to offer, I do have to make my Sister-in-Law's Birthday card for Tuesday, choose which button bracelet I am giving her as a present and make the gift box, also need to make a little present and card for the newest member of our very extended family, which by the nature of time gets bigger and bigger each years, a little felt something I think for my hubby's late cousin's new Grandson.  Sadly we will be missing his Christening today due to our 'bug riddleness'!

Watch this space for the results of today's efforts:
