Did I mention...?

Did I mention that I now make cards too?  I have also been busy making some Christmas cards ready for that dreaded date in little over two months time.  Here is a selection of the cards I have been making:

and here are some Christmas ones:

These are all £1.50 each, or 4 for £5, plus £1.50 p&p.

Thinking of having a promotion

As Christmas is screaming up towards us at a great rate of knots, I am thinking of having a sale/promotion over on my Facebook page in the coming weeks.  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.

Here is a taste of what is on offer:

 A5 book/diary covers

 Pirate wallhanging

 A selection of cute cushion covers, available with or without a pad

Mobile phone covers

So pop on over to have a look at what is available and in the next week or so, I will be starting the promotion, so keep checking back so you don't miss out :-)

Boring Book-keeping

Updating the accounts today, which involves printing things out, and this attracts my lovely cat to come and spar with the printer.  So this morning he spent time out in the kitchen.  As soon as he was let out, he came straight over to the printer to try to get his paw in somewhere....

Would much rather be creating and making than book-keeping and fending off cats, but it has to be done.  Hope you all have a productive day today :-)

Had to share :-)

Found this in my stash today and had to share it because the statements are so true of me and others that are afflicted with the fabric bug:

I feel another project coming on now :-)

How long has it been?

Gosh, it has been a long time since I have been on here, hasn't it?  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.

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.

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...

Busyness

One 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, http://www.boscombevintagemarket.co.uk/, 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.

I'm also going to get more organised at selling things online.  I have been recommended a shopfront for my  Facebook business page and am going to get that installed.

Lastly I have started a blog over at wordpress 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...

New Fabric

Made it to the fabric shop today and as luck would have it, they had a sale on, yippee!  So I was able to buy a bit more than I would have done which was good.

Here are the fabrics I bought:

The last one is patterned with pawprints, which I thought I could use for bordering some of the cushions with (depends how far a fat quarter will stretch).

So tomorrow will be spent cutting the panels for the cushions and getting border material sorted out.  Quite looking forward to getting down to work :-)
