Apart from that, I've been sorting out a cat who has diarrhoea (even with spell check, still not entirely sure if that is the correct spelling lol, its one of those words that will not cement itself in my brain). Rang the vets and they suggested starving him for 24 hours and see if that helps, so watch this space, he is such a gannet with food and gets very grumpy if not fed. Poor thing, he never does things by halves, always seems to end up at the vets :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, apart from taking pictures of the things I made last night and posting them to my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/daydreamingandsewing" target="_blank">facebook page</a>, not much work has been done *slaps wrist* But I have a free day tomorrow so I am planning to get as much done as possible in readiness for Boscombe Vintage Market on Saturday.</span><br />

Not really quite excited at all :D I am hoping it will make up for the disappointment of finding out that Brad Pitt was filming a little way down the coast last weekend :( I didn't find out until today so am a bit gutted to think that he was so close by and I didn't know it lol Anyhoo, can't wait to get my fix of Edward Cullen on the big screen, and quite possibly for the very last time *sob*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Earlier today I popped over to Hobbycraft and managed to spend a bit too much money, again, but its so hard to come out of there with either nothing at all, or just what you went in for (well, I do anyway). Then of course, when I got home, I had to make some cards using something of what I got, to justify it :D Plus, while sorting out a pile of card in the kitchen, I found some Christmas papers that I had completely forgotten about! and I am in LOVE with them all over again. Here are a couple of cards, using the papers and a couple of ripple xmas stickers I got in Hobbycraft:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So maybe not quite the typical kind of card you would get at Christmas but then I guess I am not the typical Christmas kind of gal ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Right, I'm offski (told you it would be a quickie today :D) Speak to you soon,</span><br />

I had every intention of getting more cards done today and have failed miserably. I was also going to go to Hobbycraft to buy a couple of bits, and then to Fabric Land to look for a pattern, but got waylaid and ended up at a friend's for a cuppa and a chinwag, like you do :) We were going to go off and watch Twilight this evening, but the boy can't miss cadets tonight as they are being tested for their next star rank, so we are off to see it tomorrow instead. I can't believe how restrained I have been and not gone to see it yet, considering it has been out for over a week now :D Which reminds me, I need to book the tickets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, to today's make. I am busy getting things ready for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BoscombeVintageMarket?fref=ts" target="_blank">Boscombe Vintage Market</a> on Saturday, lots still to do, but here is one of the new things that will be available to buy:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A couple of Christmas sweet treat surprises :) I think the next ones I make, I will use either red or green card, as the cream doesn't seem to make it Christmassy enough for me. I was tidying up today and found the score attachment for my cutter, so am extremely pleased and relieved that scoring will be a doddle again when I get to make some more later on this evening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Right, I'm off to watch the rest of The Secret of Critchley Hall' and will speak to you soon, have a good evening :)</span><br />

This year has positively whizzed by. I have been busy making a few Christmas cards, both to sell and to send out myself. I thought today I would post up photos of a few examples of the cards I have been making.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> I love this stamp, such a shame that it was discontinued by Stampin' Up, but they have got another one for this year which is similar though, so all is not lost.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Here is another using the lovely gingerbread man stamp set again, I do like the cute little guy :)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This Christmas tree stamp is from the same set as the gingerbread man, and also has a corresponding framelit, which would save lots of time cutting them out (which I can attest to as I haven't got the framelits as yet).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope these have inspired you to get making your Christmas cards, if you fancy the stamp set, Scentsational Season, then please feel free to <a href="mailto:daydreamingandsewing@gmail.com" target="_blank">contact me</a> to place an order. </span><br />

And what a perfectly horrid morning it is too :) so I am sat here, fending off a cat wanting to sit on my knee, watching last night's Have I Got News For You and having a chuckle :) A cuppa will be in order soon, and a couple of biscuits too I think :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Its just me and the cats til tomorrow afternoon as the boy has gone off to a weekend camp with the army cadets. Although I think they will be sleeping in barracks rather than under canvas (at least I hope so anyway). Tonight they are having a formal dinner followed by a disco, so yesterday we went out to find him a suit to wear. After spending half the afternoon traipsing round town, we went to Tesco, where we found a suit jacket reduced from near on £40 down to just £15, and a shirt reduced from £14 to £3. Bargain! Got him dressed up in it last night to see how he looks and here he is:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My little boy is growing into a fine young man :) I am so proud of him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So today I have been sorting out the cushions I have for sale and photographing them for my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/daydreamingandsewing" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>. I also have found some fabric that I was planning to use to make cushion covers and didn't get around to it, so now I have rediscovered it, I will get on and make them up. Here is a sample of the cushion covers I have on sale at the moment:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This one is made from a print with fun cat images on it and bordered with a blue patterned fabric. All my cushions have a zip in the back, for ease of getting the pad in and out.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This one is made from a fabric with a raised dot pattern, it is backed with the same fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oh, how I wish the sun would make an appearance, it is sooo dark in here, will need the daylight bulb to see what I'm doing I think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Righty-ho, I'm off now, have a good day, hope the weather is better with you than it is here :) Speak soon,</span><br />

Ho hum, never mind, I'm here now :) After all the rain and wind last night, the sun is making an appearance this morning, thankfully. But I think we won't be braving Avon Heath this afternoon anyway, apparently there is flooding over that way, so I imagine the ground will be a bit muddy there (not that I am *that* precious about getting muddy, but still...) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I should really be getting on with making some Christmas cards anyway, I have had an order for 12 (woo hoo) I was looking at the boxes of cards in the shops yesterday and they had 'handmade' 10cm by 10cm packs of 5 for £2, which is eeek-some :O How am I to compete with that? But it is the same with all things handmade I find, people increasingly want something for nothing. Its not helped by the cheap imports, why pay more when you can have one of them? People sometimes don't factor in that it is my time (in fact, if I put my actual time into the pricing, things would be even more expensive) and materials aren't that cheap if you are sourcing better quality items.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyhoo, off my soapbox I come, and on to showing you piccies of the latest purses:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As ever, the pictures don't quite do them justice. They are £5.50 each including UK p&p. The dimensions are roughly 6.5" by 4.5" and lined with a different fabric.

This morning we took our aunt out for breakie and a look round the shops. She's housebound and we like to take her out at least once a week to get her some fresh air and change of scenery. It is horrid, cold and blowy today though so she didn't enjoy it as much as usual. I am thinking I may have to make her a blanket to cover her when she's in the wheelchair to keep her warm in the winter months.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Last night I had a play with my new stamp sets and here is a card I made with one of them:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love the bird, he is so gorgeous and sits very well on this tree stamp, switched sideways to make a branch instead. I am loving my new punches too, the oval and scallop oval, which makes mounting sentiments so much easier (and prettier too, I think).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well, as much as I would love to be making more cards this afternoon, we are off out again in a while to meet with friends down the beach, although looking out the window, I am thinking, hmmmm, might get a bit blown away lol We are hardy home educators though, out in all weathers and dash it all, we can always come home, dry off and warm ourselves up by the radiator :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, off I go, have a good rest of the day everyone and I will speak to you soon,</span><br />

I am going through a Johnny Depp phase, yesterday I watched Cry Baby, a movie I haven't seen for absolute years and its still good. Today I am watching Ed Wood, which I haven't quite made up my mind about, but its got Johnny in it, which goes a long way lol, and scarily he looks quite good as a woman too.<br />
<br />
So I am hoping to get the majority of the purses finished today, so I can get on and make some cards with my new things tomorrow. Here is a picture of finished products so far:<br />

<br />
So, until the box of goodies arrives, I am wiling the time away sewing some purses together ready for sale:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Heck, the photo makes it look like it is darker than it is, don't know what I'd do without my daylight lamp to help my poor eyesight on gloomy days like this. I hope the parcel comes soon, I've run out of coffee and I need my coffee :D<br />
<br />
Right, off I go to do more stitching and catch up on Corrie and Emmerdale from last night, have a good day all :)<br />

Fingers are tightly crossed. I can't wait for the lovely new stamps to be within my grasp and will certainly be dedicating this evening to having a play with them, and making a few cards. This time around I ordered a few punches too, including their scallop edge punch, which I have been coveting for a while now. I mistakenly bought one that wasn't Stampin' Up! and it wouldn't even punch through card! Which I thought was rather rubbish, but SU punches aren't like that, they are rather good.<br />
<br />
I am telling myself that refreshing the tracking page on the UPS website will not make it come any sooner, but who am I kidding?!<br />
<br />

I love these gingerbread men, they are quite gorgeous, and the fab thing is, the stamp set they are from, Scentsational Season, has a corresponding Framelit set, Holiday Collection. So no fiddly cutting around the stamped images :) And, if both are bought together you save 15% of the total cost. These can be found in SU's <a href="http://204.228.150.61/catalogs/flash/en-GB/20120801_fg034nvf_AutumnWinter_en-EU/files/20120801_AutumnWinterCatalog_en-EU.pdf" target="_blank">Autumn/Winter Catalogue</a>, along with lots of other yummy goodies :) Feel free to <a href="mailto:daydreamingandsewing@gmail.com" target="_blank">email me</a> if you get an overwhelming urge to order something :D<br />
<br />
Right, I'm off to get the boy up and ready to go, so will speak to you very soon<br />

Facebook is being a major pita as regards to business pages, so I am going to dust off the blog and get going with the blogging again, in the hope that business will pick up again. I have expanded into making cards and selling Stampin' Up! products, so there will be the occasional post about that too, as I would like to somehow marry the two blogs together rather than have two on the go, especially where I am a bit rubbish at posting on a regular basis :D So please feel free to pop along to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/daydreamingandsewing" target="_blank">my facebook page</a> and catch up with what I have been up to recently, and possibly like or comment to help my posts reach a wider audience *cheeky grin*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I will be back, hopefully tomorrow, as I am expecting a delivery from Stampin' Up! which I am rather looking forward to. Got my fingers crossed it comes in the morning as I am off to Guildford after lunch, but knowing my luck, it won't come til I'm out, but hey ho, will have to be even more patient and wait til Tuesday I guess.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have a good rest of the day.</span><br />

It is now on its way to its new owner, well, nearly, as it is to be a Christmas pressie for a new baby :-) There is enough fabric to make one more, so if you are interested in this, or anything else, then please <a href="mailto:daydreamingandsewing@gmail.com">message me</a>.

I like the fabric that I used for the border on this one, it is gorgeous, but I only got a fat quarter of it, so I think that a visit to my favouritest fabric shop is definitely on the cards in the next couple of weeks :-)<br />

Ahh, you can just about see the border in the photo, but it looks so much better in real life :-).<br />
<br />
In the next photo is one of two projects I want to get finished. This one just needs a backing put on it. I have chosen a red fleece fabric as that will be lovely and cosy for the winter months coming up. <br />

My other news is that I am now a fully fledged Stampin' Up! demonstrator as of today, just waiting for my starter pack to arrive and then I can get started creating lovely things with card. Tomorrow I will be updating my other blog with information on how you can get involved, have a workshop, or a class. Or if you live a bit further afield (or close by too), I will be offering the opportunity for you too to have the benefits of being a hostess, without having to host a workshop :-) I love the things that Stampin' Up! have to offer and I can't wait to share it with everyone else. If you love stamping and making cards, or scrapbooking, or all three, then <a href="http://www.daydreamingandcrafting.blogspot.com/">daydreaming and crafting</a> is the place for you :-)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15294906575273102415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744192490856884742.post-13723148654933819532011-10-22T15:21:00.001+01:002011-10-22T20:24:12.895+01:00Test post from phone<div>
Well, I wouldn't recommend the blogger app for Android :-( I think I will stick to blogging on the mac in future.<br />
<br />
So today I made another cot quilt for a friend, hope she likes it, I like it a lot, but then I love pink and there's certainly a lot of that in it :-) <br />

and the second one is gorgeous too, but is not quite finished yet. I think the black framing works really well and the border of watering cans finishes off the quilt front perfectly. I'm getting to like making quilts :-) <br />

<br />
Tomorrow though, I will be hard at it putting together another couple of baby blankets. These will be girly ones, so pinks ahoy! Will endeavour to post pictures up tomorrow night when they are finished. I found some more Christmas fabric too while I was sorting out my sewing area. The sewing table has been moved round away from the window for the winter months and it gave me the opportunity to sort through the piles of fabric that had sprung up over the spring and summer months. The next few weeks will be spent making Christmas themed cushions and wallhangings, so watch this space. <br />
<br />
There is talk of an extra date in December for the Boscombe Vintage Market too, which I'm looking forward to, at least this year we are under cover in the Royal Arcade, instead of freezing cold under the marquees at the crescent. I'm hoping to be in a festive mood by then lol and the extra date will provide an excellent opportunity to get those last minute unique gifts for loved ones at Christmas :-)<br />

I need to sort out what stock is available from the photo albums, and once that is done, I will start a week promotion of 20% off all stock, or orders for similar, if what is available doesn't take your fancy.<br />
<br />
Here is a taste of what is on offer:<br />

Got to work out a way of doing this more often, I tend to get as far as my facebook page: www.facebook.com/daydreamingandsewing and go no further. Must try harder. <br />
<br />
So, anyway, first of all, I have a new website now, www.daydreaming-and-sewing.co.uk, which I'm busy developing and adding things to. I am also busy developing new ideas and patterns. This weekend I made two simple little quilts for a cot or pushchair, they are both backed with a baby blue fleece material for extra cosiness and the top is a farmyard scene bordered with a light blue gingham, so perfect for a little baby boy.<br />

I am also about to embark on a new venture in the next few weeks. So I am thinking that both businesses will come under the umbrella of Daydreaming and Crafting eventually, I haven't completely decided yet, as I'm not quite sure if both can be run under the same name, but I will keep everyone up to date with what goes on. I am off now to set up a new blog with the new name, in preparation, and I have already set up a new facebook page: www.facebook.com/daydreamingandcrafting Feel free to pop along and have a look, although there isn't much to look at yet...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15294906575273102415noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744192490856884742.post-65947649132374349432011-02-06T20:25:00.000+00:002011-02-06T20:25:04.116+00:00BusynessOne weekend a month is super busy because I have a stall at Boscombe Vintage market on the Saturday and then I'm at Lyndhurst on the Sunday. The market at Boscombe is in its infancy, yesterday was the third one ever. They have recently set up a website, <a href="http://www.boscombevintagemarket.co.uk/">http://www.boscombevintagemarket.co.uk/</a>, which is pretty cool and I get a mention on there in the run up to a market if I am there (which I should be). If you're in the area on the first Saturday of the month, pop on down and have a look.<br />
<br />
I'm also going to get more organised at selling things online. I have been recommended a shopfront for my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/daydreamingandsewing">Facebook</a> business page and am going to get that installed.<br />
<br />
Lastly I have started a blog over at <a href="http://www.daydreamingandsewing.wordpress.com/">wordpress</a> which for the time being, I will import what I write here over to there, thanks to Dom, who has told me how to do it lol. So fingers crossed it is as easy as he says that it is...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15294906575273102415noreply@blogger.com0
