PROUD MAMA

Ok, I try not to do this very often but I just couldn't help myself this time. It was Jessie's (my baby girl) grandad's birthday the other day, so I put her in her party dress! She looks so super cute I just had to share with everyone!!

EASTER IS COMING...

My daffodils are starting to bloom, and the sun is out more often...which must mean easter is on its way! Join in the sunshine with this bright yellow felt brooch! My favourite thing about this brooch is the button in the centre. I found it hiding in one of those habberdashery stores which you stumble on one day and wonder how you never noticed it before! I just love the pattern - so unusual! 

 And whilst I was at it...I made a red one too! Brightens up any outfit! Both available from my shop now :-)

PIRATES GALORE...

OOOOR AARRGH ME HEARTIES! It seems as though there was more treasure out there than I realised!! Prepare for some more gorgeous lots!!

FOLKSY THEMES...PIRATES!

So, I got to thinking...there's so many great things out there in the vast sea that is Folksy...that sometimes even the most beautiful creations quickly become sunken treasure! In a quest to beat this...I am launching 'Folksy Themes' to highlight some hidden beauties! So, this week...PIRATES!!

PERSONALISED NAME DOOR HANGINGS

I got the crafting buzz yesterday after I made my 'Love' door hanging, and got to thinking how cute it would look to have personalised names to hang on the door outside a child's room! I quickly got to work on this 'Jake' sign, but I am happy to do any name for you lovelies out there :-)

GIVE YOUR DOOR KNOB SOME PIZAZZ!

I've been busy decorating the door knobs in our house with these felt lovelies! I'm going to start making a personalised name door hanging for my daughter, and will soon have some available on my shop. This 'Love' door hanging is only £5.00! 

WEDNESDAY I'M IN LOVE?

There must be something in the air...as I can't get enough of making these cute little heart brooches. Do hearts always have to be pink? I think not! Hence these fuchsia and blue hearts :-) Hope you love them as much as me!

Perhaps I'm just beaming still from my FIRST mother's day! My partner tried his hardest all Saturday to get our 10 month old daughter to say 'mummy' into one of those 'record you own msg' cards - instead he had to say it + Jess thought she'd just squeal into the card instead! Even though she sounded like a cat being strangled, it was still very cute!!

THANKS

Hey there...needed a huge virtual hug this morning (we all do from time to time!), and got it from the guys at folksy! If you ever need advice about your shop or the crafty exploits you get up to, someone will be there to talk :-) After a quick natter, I got some great advice about my shop, including changing my shop banner :-) So here it is! Cheers guys, I feel ready to get myself geared up for some more sewing...now where did I leave my sewing box?...

LOVE IS IN THE AIR...

Why not treat the one you love (or treat yourself!) with this delightful pink heart brooch. Handmade out of pink and black felt it would put a smile on anyone's face (especially because it is very cheap to buy!!) Valentine's Day might have been and gone, but who needs an excuse to show their love? 

 Or...are you less 'red roses' and more 'guns & roses?' If so, this skull & crossbones brooch is right up your street!
