Newy newness...

Yes I've been quiet lately, just trying to grow my Facebook page :) feel free to pop on over (copy and paste this link)

But anyway! Newy newness!! 

I've designed a new toast keyring! He's on offer for £2 and free postage via my Facebook page. 

I've also just received my name labels for all my handmade clothes! No one else will see it, but it feels wonderful for me to see it when I'm washing or ironing them :) 

If you're wondering why I've not posted any new clothing makes lately, it's because I haven't made any! I've just been altering the clothes I do have (I've lost a bit of weight, yay!) and no one wants to see the same bits of alteration a billion times haha! 

I'm off to read some sewing books now, need to get my mojo back!

Some gifts...

Hello everyone! 

I've been working and crafting so much lately, I can't wait for Christmas! 

So, here's something I made for my little brother and sister in law. 

They always struggle to find things with their names on, so I made some sweetie jars that they can re use for whatever they want! 

Hope you are all enjoying the festive season, merry Christmas!! 

Christmas makes...

Hello everyone! 

I promise you, I have been crafting! But it's all Christmas presents, so I can't show you any of it :P

Are we all feeling thoroughly festive? Or more Bah Humbug? I'd love to hear what you are all making for Christmas :) 

Newy newness...

Got lots to show you today!

I made a lovely shabby chic pillowcase, I even experimented with 

decorative zig-zagging to applique the letters onto the case.

And I made a few of these knitted phone cases :)

I came up with the pattern myself, I love how it looks woven.

Ooh, and I made a Facebook page in addition to this blog and my Etsy shop. I won't be abandoning you though!

Is anyone else feeling Christmassy all of a sudden? I think now that it's gotten colder, I feel waaay more festive. Any Christmas makes on the go?
