A Month Between Posts

I am a bad blogger, it has been a month since I last posted - bad bad blogger.
Reason:  been very very busy with wholesale orders, kids, housework etc etc.

Easter was great, lots of chocolate, dare not approach the bathroom scales at the moment, maybe I will feel brave in a few days time.  Hope you all enjoyed your Easter Break.

Kids are now on school holidays, but on the last day of term they had to decorate an egg to take in to school, here are the results - Henrietta made a rabbit and used the egg box as the garden.  Charlie made Luke Skywalkers X-Wing Fighter (with a little help from Mum).

SewHip Magazine

SewHip Magazine contacted me the other month, asking if they could use some of my emebellishments for the May issue - I jumped at the chance.  Couldnt wait for the issue to arrive on the shelves - and here it is, in all its glory

World Book Day

It was World Book Day on Thursday - kids had to go to school as a character from a book.  As Henrietta is mad on dogs (we do not have one - much to her disgust) she wanted to go as a Dalmatian Dog, Charlie was slightly easier, he wanted to go as Robin Hood.  So out came the needle and thread, face paints etc.  They had a brilliant day, but phew, Im so glad its all over.

Orders have been coming out of my ears this week.  Apparently I was on the front page of Etsy last week - hooray, but I missed it, boo.  It seems lots of people didnt miss it though, and I now have 4 pages of orders to sew up - better get on with it then.

Tidy Crafter - At Long Last

I told you it may take some time for me to show you the 'after' photos of my spring clean.  Shelves were bought - and stained.  Felt bunting made and hung, felt sorted into colours, buttons in glass jars, and a fab new cushion for my computer chair - I really have been busy.

I can now find everything - its just perfect.  Why didnt I do this ages ago.  I love being organised - now for the rest of the house!

Made these sweet little hearts to hang on my craft cupboard

Forgot I had these.  I bought them about 3 years ago at a Car Boot Sale.  They are a perfect match for my new colour scheme.

Decided to give the new table cloth an airing.  It has replaced the lilac spotty one - which I hated with a passion.  Ive got my eye on a red polka dot one when this has seen better days.  These are wipe over table cloths - ideal for when the kids are eating - and also when mum is careless with the glue!

I visited Dunelm last week - my fav shop ever.  I really could buy everything in there.  Such wonderful fabrics and curtains.  Anyhow, I bought a pretty new lamp for the conservatory, as the old one refused to hold the bulb for more than 10 minutes.

Right off now, the ironing is calling - not keen as its now 5.30 on a Saturday evening.  Im sure I can hear the bottle of white wine calling from the fridge - yes I really can - bye for now.

Fame Is Just Fab!

Look who's sprung up in Your Home magazine (Feb issue)  Me - Hooray.  I wrote an email to the lovely magazine a few months ago, and this month I am STAR LETTER.  I have even won myself £150.00 vouchers.  I am beside myself with happiness, I cannot stop grinning.

Untidy Crafter

My crafing space is starting to look a tad bit untidy. Truth is, I cannot find a thing. It is taking me twice as long to finish projects, as I spend half my time looking for items I need - a sort out is required. Units need to be bought and storage boxes need to be filled. Here are afew photos of my messy space - I will let you see the tidy space once it is done (might be a while though!).

School Closed

We woke up to rather alot of snow this morning, so hence the school is closed, as teachers cannot get into work.  Lets hope it opens tomorrow, as I have loads to do - Christmas dec's need to be taken down (without the help of two kids!), house needs a good tidy and then its on with the sewing.
My Etsy shop is now open but stocks are very low.  I am going to be listing quite afew felt emebellishments, as they sold well just before Christmas.

Hope you all had a fab Christmas and New Year - I really cant quite believe its all over for another year - oh well, we made a snowman family to cheer ourselves up - here's Charlie and Henrietta enjoying a day off school:
