Moving forward

Havent had chance at the moment to make anymore things, and sadly have had to cancel doing the craft fair at the end of october. I was looking forward to starting all my christmassy this but ill have to leave them on hold : )
All excited as me and my fiance have brought our first home!!!! after spending several years in rented accomodation this is a massive step for us and we can not wait to take it! Not only that but we are expecting our first child in march 2013 so shopping around for cute baby things (even though it is still quite early, we do like to get on top of things though hehe) Got the 20 week scan next wednesday and contary to peoples opions we are looking forward to finding out whether weve having a girl or boy :  )
Maybe ill have to make cute baby things myself as well put a lovely personal touch to our first nursery in out first home.
Thats all for now thanks for viewing take care xx

Other Bits and Bobs









This is a selection of some of the items I have made, alot of these are with any real pattern just going from ideas I have. I love the stocking I made these for family at christmas, I filled them with chocolates and candy canes and they all have them now to hang on their trees : )
And the pictures of the campers are recycled pictures from 2011 calender cut out and out in pictures frames I've brought from car boot sales and charity shops, frames you dont really see any more and i love them think they all work well together, I still have some pictures left so the display is ever growing : ) The top photo was just a pouch i made to keep the front of my car stereo in, I'm thinking of making smaller verions of these as little coin pouches in different fabrics to sell.
I have to leave it there for today but I must admit I'm getting a little addicted to blogging so I'm sure it wont be long until my next post. For now take care and thanks for looking : ) xx

Hanging Hearts






These are a close up of the hearts I made for this saturday, I loved making all of them and am really pleased with the final result. Alot of people have commmented on these both on twitter and whilst at the fair, I sold a few but still have some left over, ( I think I'm really going to start looking into maybe a website)
I think that a few of these are quite unusual, but I think they work really well. The 3 pictured together are ones I made for my mum a while back, they match the union jack cushions i made her too, i like the shape of these, they arent to bulky and so I've been thinking maybe I'll use that design for the christmas decorations I plan to make. I'd love to hear comments you might have : ) xx

Craft Fairs




 
Hello again well I made it on saturday with minimal stress ( I think ). The top photograph is of my first craft fair, back in june, and the other 3 are from saturday 29th September.
Ive had some lovely responses on twitter about the items I made, and I met some really nice people on saturday, really enjoyed myself.
I also started doing a bit of cross stitch whilst I was there, pleased with the outcome and will post photos another time, hope to use them on the hearts or maybe christmas decorations, I havent decided yet.

Cushions







And finally for this evening as I really need to get some more stuff made for saturday! These are some of the cushions I have made, the last 5 shown are ones ill be taking to this months craft fair, I really love making patchwork cushions I think they look really cute and would love to see them go to a good home : ) These cushions are a real learning curve for me as Ihavent taken any lessons, I'm just trying to teach myself from books, magazines etc. My favourites are the pink one and the blue ones, I would love to know if you have a favourite. I really like these and I will be making more. Right I have to stop now : ) good night and take care xx

Flower Pin Brooches






Again these were super easy to make and I loved making every one, as soon as I get some more brooch backs I will be making some more. The pattern for these I got from the dairy diary ( yearly diary you can buy from the milk man, believe it or not) I get for christmas from my great aunt, I used to mock my mum for always getting one and now I look forward to mine every year : ) xx

Smart Phones Socks




I loved making these, and I have to confess have kept the stripy one for myself : ) will be making more in the future I think.

Peg Bags








A selection of peg bags I also made for freinds and family and my first craft fair, these were fun and simple to make although a little time consuming at first : ) These were great when we had that short spell of good weather, however I know i havent gotten much use out of mine in a while.

Shopping Totes










I wanted to upload some pictures, (even though they arent proffesionally photographed) of some of the things I have made. So here goes these are shopping totes I have made for friends and family, and also for the first craft fair I did back in june. Really pleased with all of these, and enjoyed making them. I would love to hear any comments you might have.
