I know it's soppy but...


I know it's soppy but...

...I came up with this poem when I was rocking my little one to sleep tonight. It was one of those nights when she was tired but not crying too much so it was easy to get all overly romantic about motherhood! I'll take another shot of it in the daylight as it's hard to get a photo without tonnes of reflection... but you get the point.

By the way, thanks for the overwhelming response to my last post, 200 hits in 12 hours! :) I'm up over the 3000 mark now, so I'll have to do a giveaway at 5000 to celebrate I think!

Table top sale

Table top 'sale'

OK, so I didn't actually sell anything, but there was lots of interest in my stuff and people took away my little cards with the address to this blog. Also it was a great trial run for a craft fair in the same venue in a few weeks time. Here's my stall. 



Remember if you see anything you like or would like to join my quarterly mailing list please contact me and I'll discuss your custom design with you. 

I can do bunting:

wall art




storage jars

and cushions



Just let me know!

Roll Up! Roll Up!


I've (as you may have seen from my comments on Three green bottles, sitting on the wall...) been invited to have a stall at the local community centre, and I'm doing a table top sale too, so thought I'd better stock up on some things to sell. I've got a bunch of glassware products, I'm planning on making some fabric and paper bunting and then I saw these toilet roll holders on sale in a local shop and thought I could improve them with some decal designs. So... here they are.



As a reminder, decal uses special decal paper (inkjet or laser) and once printed you spray a couple of layers of acrylic clear spray varnish on them and when they dry wet the paper and slide the transfer onto the item. A full reminder here.

I was wondering - could you let me know your favourite projects in the comments section or email me, as I'd love to have an idea of what might sell at these fairs. Thanks!
