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!

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?

DON'T FORGET! The 10% off Etsy code is still live - PROMO1

Anyway, I've made a new tablet case that is for sale in my Etsy shop for only £6.00 :)

Isn't he adorable? He goes quite nicely with the matching phone case :) I love being able to sew all day! Don't you?

Sneak peek... 

What I've been up to...

So, I've been a bit quiet on the sewing front lately. To be honest with you, I've been so in the zone, I've not even thought about blogging them! I just think of the next project!! 

Here's a sneak peek of what will feature in the next few posts. 

NINE handmade items!! 

I have been a busy bee! I won't do 9 separate posts for these, as some of them are either very similar, or just simple. 

I look forward to telling you about them!!

My newest little sewing treasure...

Hi guys, no crafting updates today, but look what the Mr bought me!!

How stunning is this?!


It's a little pin box (I think), and it's all enameled with little gems stuck on in places. The machine is a deep purple colour and the base is a pale baby pink. It even has a little cotton reel on the top!

I love this. I love my Mr for buying it for me. I'm so very lucky.
