March

Wow it is March already, it has come Round at a rapid speed. So far in March I am continually working hard on the job front as well as progressing more designs for an upcoming stall this weekend in Newcastle :) I am very excited as well as hopefully another stall in April too.

Recently I have been enticed into pattern books for inspiration for another card collection in mind for Easter :) so keep those peepers peeled for new incoming designs :)

My studio

A peek into my studio that for once is not overwhelmed by flying cut fabrics, scattered pins and needles or me asleep on the chair ;)

Craft, Hobby and Stitch International

Recently I attended this years craft, hobby and stitch international to observe what techniques and styles were upcoming. It was a very interesting day and it was very exciting to see so much going on, the use of new card designs, lots of buttons, buttons and buttons, fabric and excitingly for myself...KNITTING AND CROCHET .... and so much more. I only managed to grab a few snaps here.

But soon here will be the Pulse trade fair, Top Drawer and the Autumn fair during the summer period. Which hopefully i will be able to attend to see what's new and incoming new trends, designs and so much more to see!

Libby McMullin

One of my favourite designers to watch, Libby McMullin designs are fresh and has that make believe fairytale approach. The colour palette is always subtle and sweet, along with a little delicate touch.

 Here are some of my favourites of her beautiful new card designs.

February

In the last few weeks I have been getting creative in preparing for my next upcoming handmade stall. Here are a few bits I am currently working on :)


I have also being getting a little crafty with card designs and hand sewing which hopefully I will reveal very soon.

Happy new year

Hello to 2012! :) hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

This year is going to be a new start and hopefully full of exciting new things, changes, happiness and challenges.


My lovely new 2012 calender from Ideal Home. The photographs perfectly sum up the months with smiles. 

It's Christmas!

Wow it's been a while since I've blogged I have been super busy getting ready for the festive season :)

My stall at the handmade fair went down a treat lots of Christmas decorations sold like hot cakes which was really exciting and ever since I have been making custom orders at home to send out to their new homes :)

Everywhere you go now it's really exciting, seeing the lovely white Christmas lights in the dark, the glistening of tinsel, Christmas Pudding and mince pies. My favourite spot for Christmas is the frankfurt German market in Birmingham. I go every year to indulge in some yummy food, crepes and feel the fresh winter breeze. It's official....Santa Claus is coming to town.

 

Hopefully in the coming new year there will be more exciting things to come for me. For now wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
