A Proper Blog Post

For a change. Not that I consider any previous posts I've made anything less than a proper post, but sometimes I do ramble, or make them short. Today's is going to be fairly large so I might break it up into two. I know aren't I nice.


Hello by the way to the new followers! I am I see now up to 62, so cooie you nutters that chose to follow me, and also a hello to those poor folks who follow me on twitter. If your crazy enough you can follow me too just head over to twitter I would love to say I am sane on twitter but that's just not me. Anyway....






Firstly I have my first customer photo of my work in use, so massive thanks Gabrielle (especially for allowing me to use her photo) do also take the time to check out her lovely blog. I must say I do rather like her mug too. She will also be set to open the doors on her very own Etsy store. So keep an eye out for that by following her blog (just click her name above).


I've also been working on new lines, and as I type just behind my on my desk is a little pile of things to do, I have two new tissue holders which I will be making entirely by hand no sewing machine for the seams (mainly because I can't get to it owing to my knee being out of action), and some more lovely lavender teabag sachets, and hopefully i'll be receiving some bias binding and felt in the post. Which will mean baby quilt being finished and new pastel shades needlecases! I think when I get a load of those made I'll do a little competition or do a free shipping week on them. You know it's funny I started out writing this post and now for the life of me I can't remember what the hell I was going to write about that was potentially going to make this a massive post....So perhaps it will be part 1 of 2, part two post lunch.


Bye for now!

Today I will be mainly.....

Resting my knee, icing it and generally not being an idiot when it comes to over doing it. It's amazing how much you rely on the old knees to move the way you want them too. Anyway, I have two weeks pretty much to get it back up to speed again. Whilst that's going on, I've actually found the enthusiasm and the inspiration to work on a few new pieces/ideas...

First up with have a multi-purpose item, which I don't really know what the correct name to call it, you can use it as a coaster but you can also use it to cover your drink. The reason I did this is because I often have a glass a water on my bedside table, and if you really need a drink in a night you always get that lovely layer of dust, or worse a fly in it.


The other item is mainly for the cuteness factor, and also because I have a load of lavender and muslin knocking about so here is the Lavender Tea Bag sachet. It's cute isn't it! It's just the right size that you can pop into a draw. I'll be working on a few more today I think, as it's something I can easily do whilst resting my knee. I also going to have a little array of different colours as I have a whole massive stash of Liberty Tana Lawn. Now to decide whether to sell them individually or in a group? What would you buy? Or would that be dependent on the cost? Was thinking about £4.50 each?
