*whispers* hello, anyone out there?

Hi there, long time no see.  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 my facebook page 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*

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.

Have a good rest of the day.

another cot quilt

hello there, been a busy one this week with making things.  Thought I would show off this cot quilt though because I am particularly fond of it:

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 message me.  I look forward to hearing from you.

Finished quilt

After a few busy days, I managed this morning to get down to a bit of sewing and finished the cot quilt.  Its backed with a red fleece fabric so will be warm and snuggly for the winter months ahead :-)

Now on to the blue themed quilt.  Maybe I should stop for breakfast first though....

Latest projects

Well, the Christmas cushion winged it's way yesterday to its new home, so yesterday afternoon, I made another one.  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 :-)

 Ahh, you can just about see the border in the photo, but it looks so much better in real life :-).

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.

The other quilt I am gong to make will be the same fabric in the middle, but bordered with a blue check and backed with a darker blue fleece fabric.

As ever, please email me if you are interested in anything :-)

Christmas is coming...

Made a Christmas themed cushion yesterday, the first of many, I think :-)  I like the Christmassy fabrics and could easily go mad in the fabric shop that I go to, Hansons, luckily, it is a 60 mile round trip from here so I can't go too often ;-)

Here is a picture:

I love it, hope you do too :-)

If you would like a Christmas themed cushion, feel free to email me and I will be happy to have a chat with you.

Mini Sale Starts Tomorrow

I have begun sorting through my stock and listing things in a Sale Album over on my facebook page  I will be adding to it over the next few days, as I sort through things in the spare room.  Today I sorted out the cushions, tomorrow it will be bags and other smaller things.

Remember that I do custom orders too, so please feel free to email me with any ideas you would like to discuss with me :-)

Quilt and News

Just a quickie to show you the nearly finished quilt I have been working on today.  Just a little more quilting to do and then it is done and ready to be sold.  I love it, the fabrics work really well together.

Here is a piccie:

Not the best picture, I will try to take a better picture in daylight tomorrow.

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 daydreaming and crafting is the place for you :-)
