Made a start

here ,
it has been something i have been meaning to get sorted
as the blog has sat empty and un loved for ages !!
It will be a way for those who don't like etsy to buy my things
Its also a way for me to introduce new things to you all !!

I am hoping it will help more people find their way to the website
which is going to stock just my one off pieces of work
including lots of applique and free motion stitch work !!

Sorry no photo's again today as its very dark here and we keep having a smattering of snow !!
I have sewn somethings for replacement package that is on its way over sea's in the morning
lets just say its a little sweet cupcakeyness !!!!
Oh and this time i will take photo's of what i am sending before i send it on its way . i am the worst for not taking pictures of what i send , i get so excited about it getting on its way !!

flat batteries

mine and the camera !!

I think i am having those January blues , i have lots of things to do
work and home wise but i just feel fed up .
I have manged to sort out 2 yes 2 black bin liners of rubbish
and i have lost count of the recycling done .
I am still not in my workroom my home is a mess and its stressing me out a little

I shall loose myself in my sewing tomorrow ,
i can drift away for hours playing with scraps of fabric then hopefully i will
feel refreshed and ready to get on with it what ever it is this week !
I have lots of things to take photo's of but that will have to wait until the batteries charge .


These are the only photo's i managed to take
before that dreaded flashing battery sign ended my plans for today .

I have listed some things on etsy i do have more to go on as
i have decided to give all my shops a go and fill them up with pretty things
and not just work on the website .
My plan is to build up sales and then slowly direct more traffic to my website
and then see how that goes .

Dont forget to check out the tutorial
i will be doing another one this week so please do keep checking in x x

All change

a long time ago i made this
please excuse the poor photo it was taken with my old camera !!

over time things change and i stopped making this style of purse
ok the truth is a mastered the ZIP .. yay !!!
so zips in purses became my new thing

Then at some of the fairs last year i was asked for simple ipod or gadget covers

so i have given the little purse a bit of a face lift and a bit of applique
and i am please so far ...

I have removed the flap and used some of my mahoosive pile of felt (instead of Cotton duck)
a little red spot fabric and little applique stitching and some gorgeous toadstool fabric on the inside !!
I have also added a loop and button on the others i have made so far i did think of buttons or velcro but i hate buttonholes and i have run out of velcro !!!!

I have made some more like this but i cannot show you as they are pressies for peoples !!

I do like to change things and i know that this design is no way unique
I just drew a simple shape thats it .
I think we can all put our own twist on things so feel free to use this shape

this one is mine for my little phone

*** would anyone be interested on a simple tutorial for this pouch ?????
