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:

Nasty bug has hit our house!

Yuk!!! A horrible nasty flu bug has hit our house this week, so no making for a few days however now well enough to sit up in bed with laptop!, hubby is nearly fully recovered, downside, small boy looks like he may be coming down with it, just in time for half term!

Earlier in the week, before I was struck down I made some bracelets using vintage buttons, thought you might like to see them.  Plus have been working on some more handmade glass bead bracelets some of which I will be sending to my Mum in Spain she has sold two of them for me already, my first exports!!

Just remember it's my Sister-in-Law's Birthday next week, I think she'll be getting one of the above!!!

I have spent the weekend working on some new bag designs using Craftartist Professional (never thought I'd get into digital crafting but I am hooked!!).  My hubby has checked the images to make sure the quality is good enough to print and they are.  (Which he will kindly do for me).   So these are now available to buy, at £6.99 (inc free P&P within the UK).  Anyone interested please let me know.

These bag designs are now available.

Well the first lot of bag designs passed quality control approval for printing by the expert (my hubby Joe) and these designs are now available to buy at £6.99 (with free P&P).  If you are interested message me or comment below and I'll get in touch with you.  I'd also appreciate any feedback what do you think on them in general.  I am currently also working on designs for cotton aprons, will up date as soon as they are available.

I have been digitally creating artwork today using vintage images for a range of canvas bags we are going to produce, my hubby just needs to approve the quality of the artwork and print them now! 

They will then be available for sale, either on Ebay, Misi, Folksy or direct from me, I hope anyway!
