Todays the Day

Phew!! Its done...THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO CAME!! I've just settled down with a cup of tea and the nicest fussiest feeling (thanks to you guys who enjoy the stuff i make!)
I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who helped...Eleri for the flyer's...Lorna for helping me sew in the labels...Karina (and Lorna again) for helping me set up...Arthur for telling me to stop being silly went i panicked...everyone else (god this sounds like an Oscar speech!!!)

Anyway I'm absolutely shattered...night in with Mr Ben and Mr Jerry i think

thank you!!!!

Yummy Yummy Yummy

Thought you guys might like a little tatser of the goodies tomorrow....They taste great! Thanks to lorna for helping decorate them!

WOHOOOOO!!THEY CAME!

I was happily sewing along this morning, worrying about saturday and mumbling to myself when there was a little tap at the flat door. Arthur answered it and it was the postman.... Finally my labels have arrived!!What do you think? I'm so happy that they are here in time for Saturday!! It makes me feel really professional to have something with my name on!!

Also...Fresh off the machine today is this little (or big) lovely...

She's made from a lovely woolly fabric which i found for £1 yesterday and there are falling leaves made from brown felt and cotton on the front. The ribbon isn't right I'm going to pop out to sues before work and get something more suitable for it.

Sputiks are done now to! O.K. maybe I should explain. We have a draft excluder that is knitted by Grandma Payne (Arthurs 102 year old great grandma.) This draft excluder is called Sputnik (I have a horrible impulse to name anything new and cute which we get) Sputnik has proved to be quite a hit with all of our freinds (Dave and Shana are the proud owners of Sputnika and Sputkid....yeah thats right Sputniks wife and child) Anyways...there pretty popular at the mo because its freezing!! So I made a few to for the sale.

What do you think?

The Days Not Over Yet

Afternoon! Thought I'd pop up this picture. Today I'm finishing the jewellery for the sale and these are the first batch done. I like making these hair clips there quite therapeutic for me!

AND finished just in time before I have to go to work..... some lovely pairs of kirby grips. I like making these but they make my eyes hurt (ouchy)

A Day Off Put to Good Use.

Went for a lovely coffee with Lorna today and then I finished this pretty flowery shoulder bag, its nice and shiny inside. Hope you like it!

Oh! Thought that maybe anyone that didn't come to the last sale might like to see some pictures of it (kindly donated my Miss Phelan) So here you go... (please dont judge me by the horrible pose!)

Not Long Now!!!

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great weekend!! I'm getting a bit nervous about Saturday!! I hope people were come. I enjoyed soo much to see people enjoying and showing an interest in the stuff I make.

Anways this is what I made today...a lovely little shoulder bag made from a sturdy stripey green and cream fabric and lined with a green and yellow art nouveau style fabric. It is decorated with a pink flower in a yellow ribbon frame and little shell buttons! Hope you like it!!

Before I leave for work...

Brrrr its horrible cold out tonight. Me and arth both had pay days on the same day so we went to the vine for dinner!!! I gorged myself on thai green prawn curry and malay bread and then Lo an behold!! ben and jerrys was on by one get one free at the corner shop!! oh well!!

Anyway...just before work i reeled off this lovely little wallet....it has a little white monster on the front who im quite attached to.

Oh...im really looking to the craft fair tomorrow...its at Chipping Sodbury and is orgainsed by two ladies called Michelle and Jayne it looks good!!! See you there? http://www.vintageandhandmade.co.uk/

NaNaNaNa........BATMAN!!

Hi everyone..hope you are all well. I had a lovely day today.Walked around the park finding leaves with arthur...it was a lovely autumn day and i had fun picking the leaves. Then i went over to the library and found an awesome book called masters of poster design..its got some really really funky pictures in it. THEN i went over to el's and we made the flyers for the sale they look great but el's printer was sleepy so we only got round to printing a few off but im really pleased!! THANKYOU EL!! and later on this eve me and arthur are going to go and watch easy virtue at the flicks!! (the dresses look pretty in it)

Oh...before all of this i made.....this...

A Sneak Peak!!!

I feel like I've been a bit bad today because I havn't made anything before work and the sale is sooooo close...instead I did alot of pricing and printed off the posters...which are important too so i should stop being stupid really!!!

Anyway here you go.....see anything you like?

Evening All!!

TaaaDaaaa!!!! I really like this one..the first thing I said when I finished it was "It looks like somthing you could buy in Accessorize!" Its the same design as the bag posted yesterday except its a little bigger because the sample patches on the front were a bit longer. the tartan fabric is kind of brushed to so its really soft. The buttons on the front are brushed metal.

Hope you like guys!!!

Something A Bit More Grown Up.

Sorry that they are not in the right order I couldn't get them to play!!! I really like this one!! the patchwork front is made from a collection of samples for sofa fabric I found and the back and lining are from this lovely checkered fabric I found. I'm quite proud of it especially because its the first time that I tried to do piping and I think it went quite well!!! What do you reckon??

I'll try and wriggle a few more out for the sale!!

Hope everyone is ok. Oh,thought I'd let you know that theres a showing of Alfred Hitchcocks 39 Steps on at the cinema tonight....it's the orginal just on a massive screen!!! Me, Arthur and his Mum are going to watch it!! Come along if any of you fancy it...the tickets are a bit cheaper to!!!

I'm very proud of myself!!!! The idea for these Wallets had been floating around my head for a day or so and I finally got round to making them!! I have to say that it's going to be hard to put these into the sale.

The pink and blue one is decorated with two cute clouds and the buttons are all shell ones. The green and purple/fuschia one is decorate with flowers and pink buttons. Keep an eye out!!! not long left now and then you will be able to treat yourself to some lovely homemade stuff!!!
