suprises in the post and ETSY

I recieved a lovely suprise in the post today from Angela at Bramble berries, (over there in my fav blog list). Angela sent me a great magazine and a cute hanger which says I LOVE PINK , she knows me so well lol. Angelas makes some really cute signs along with lots of other things and has some great ones for christmas, go and have a look at her great designs its well worth it.

ALSO i have re opened my etsy shop, i thought i would give it another try and have listed some things in there today so please have a peek at those too. x

owls and placemats

Just had to have a go at the tutorial from MOONSTITCHES for her lovely owls, i was going to make it saying welcome but Ellie saw them first so i put her name on them and they are hung on the blackboard now. If you click the pic it becomes bigger and a little clearer.

Here is some placemats i have been making.

Take note...

Just a few Note books that i managed to get finished yesterday. The job is going really well and i enjoyed my first day. Thanks for your well wishes. x

Been busy over the weekend making these.......

I am trying to make lots of things up ready to re open my etsy shop early nest year....

But if anyone would like to buy one from me before for a christmas presant please feel free to contact me.They are £7.50

Today i should have been my first day at my new job, its only for a few hours a day at the school where Ellie goes but on Friday there was a leak there so its closed today, so i have all day today to get some more sewing done.So wish me luck for tomorrow, its a long time since i had a job lol.
