A Few New Makes

There's still a week to enter the Christmassy Giveaway, the winner will be announced a week today.  Full details are........

 

....here!

Thought I'd share a few makes I've made recently.  The large letters are proving very popular!

I never get bored of making pink name banners, although the blue one has turned out really lovely aswell!

In other news, I had a "business meeting" today, which, if all works out, I hope to be able to share news of soon!  I want to see how it pans out over the next week or so as its a different direction from what I've been doing, but I will say Im going to be very busy sewing in every spare minute over the next few weeks!  All very exciting and nerve wracking at the same time!

There are a few people I consider my "bloggy friends", people who's blogs I love and comment on regularly and who are so lovely whenever I post something new, or ask a question about something.  So Im so happy to say that Emma over at Sweet Williams, launched her brand new website today.  It looks amazing and Im sure much money will be spent there!  To celebrate this launch she's having an AMAZING giveaway, which can be entered either via her website or her blog.

Right Im off to get organised and start work on my newest project!

A Bad Mood and A Craft Fair

Thankfully not on the same day!  Today has been one of those bad mood days.  Not really sure why - maybe it was the thought of all the housework I have to do, or the fact my cat brought me a dead squirrel this morning, either way, I wasnt a happy bunny this morning!!  So what did I do to cheer myself up?  I made cupcakes!!  A guaranteed way to put a smile on my face is to either make cupcakes or buy something with cupcakes on.  Seeing as I've put pretty much all cupcake merchandise on my christmas list to Santa, I thought I'd have a go at making some.  Here is the result...

They are chocolate and orange cupcakes with white chocolate frosting.  Ooooooo get me!!  The recipe is here if anyone is interested.  However, dont panic, this isnt turning into a food blog - I still cant get the frosting right.  It was fine til I added the white chocolate, maybe the recipes wrong *looks confused*.

Anyway, they served their purpose in that they cheered me up and they dont taste half bad!!  Im eating one as I type, just to prove it :)

I realised the other day that Im nearly at 50 followers!  Yey me!  Im planning a little giveaway for when I reach 50 so keep watching this space for details.  It will tie in nicely with Christmas too, as Im feeling all Christmassy of late.

Speaking of which, my Christmas decs went down a treat at my latest craft fair.   As did my large hanging letters.  It was a quiet day but fun all the same.  Here's a few photos...

I've made this for a lady who ordered it from the craft fair.  Have three more to make and two name banners too so the orders are doing well!

I'll be back soon with details of my giveaway!

My Poor Neglected Blog

I am still here, honestly, and I am still reading all your lovely blogs.  Trouble is, these days I catch up on my iphone not the pc so cant comment!  Bad blogger - must try harder!

There's still some sewing going on, not much but some, still orders being completed.  This is my most recent one.  Was a bit dubious about the colours at first but love how they came together...

I've also made another big squashy letter...

A big C this time in red and white.  Again, not christmas-y but just lovely!!  I'd love to have time to make a whole load of big squashy letters for craft fairs but time just isnt my friend at the moment and tends to rush past without me having achieved a lot!

In other news, we have two new additions to our family.  Please welcome, Holly (as in Ben and) and Peppa (as in Pig!).

Peppa and Holly all cwtched up!

A sleepy Holly

Long story short, we got Holly to keep our other rabbit Lola company, but after a few minutes it was obvious Lola is quite happy on her own, so I had to go back to the breeder and get Peppa to keep Holly company.  Daft?  Yes I am a little!  However I now have three happy bunnies, two very excited girlies and a husband who, although complained initially, made an amazing hutch for the little rabbits this afternoon!

Also, Lillie's having a first go at drawing....

And Madison drew a picture of me in chalk!

I love how my body is smaller than my head!

Hopefully, my next post will show you the finished product of what I did with all this...

Fingers crossed eh!?

Until next time, happy crafting!! x x
