Can you believe 71 weeks since Wendy started Handmade Monday, may have missed 2 during that time but certainly an inspiration to keep going. Thank you Wendy you have kept me on the crafting road most weeks, my stock is increasing and loving it more day by day.
Quite a week spent some waiting for deliveries of 'things I needed' to complete projects think the postal service is a bit like watching a kettle boil! Having seen in the news that apparently no post somewhere in the UK because it was raining and the postie slipped but not on a pavement in his own drive, sounds more like wrong leaves on the line every day.
Back on track the insul bright arrived so table mats finished and in the post, silk arrived for a keepsake bridal cushion all done and packaged but not showing yet as want my favourite customer to see first and be happy then hopefully can publish, with permission.
Tooth Fairy wallets, I know teeth have got more expensive now but these do hold silver coins, made in the 'In the hoop' method of machine embroidery using pink and blue gingham a bit cliche but still love it added a ribbon hanging and button for decoration, think these on a mug tree at a fair would look fun.
Email from Tracey at Wow Thank You apparently 'Owls' are in so an owl ring shown in pink and blue but can be done in other colours.
Off to hunt for some owl print fabric for a bag and more.....
Have a happy crafting week and don't forget to check out the other blogs at Handmade Harbour
On a final note know I have posted this link on CF but just goes to show where the handmade audience could be: Handmade Lives thank you Dixie.

Aaaah, such a lovely owl and thank you for letting me know they are the 'in' thing at the moment. I mentioned this to a couple of friends today and they said 'oh, yes, they are everywhere'. Dixie's post is great and certainly very encouraging. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's 71 weeks either! Thanks for the kind words and glad it's helping! Love the little makes - yes, owls are so popular at the moment. The link was well worth reading x
ReplyDeleteOwls are everywhere I must get round to making one. The key ring is lovely and the tooth fairy bag is such an original idea, its brilliant
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about waiting for deliveries. I get so impatient when I know something is being delivered that day. Love the owl :-)
ReplyDeleteI sympathise about the post- I hate waiting for it, when it finally does they deliver on a day when I'm out at work and then I have to schedule a re-delivery and wait even longer!
ReplyDeleteThe tooth fairy wallets are really sweet- a nice little size!
Yep even I have noticed that owls are everywhere and even mentioned it to someone yesterday. I love the toothfairy pouches.
ReplyDeleteyour makes are fabulous as always - that little owl is sooooooo cute! and definitely bang on trend :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the link to Dixie's post - very interesting.... :)
Your owl is delightful. I wouldn't mind one for myself. Can you use them 'second time around' lol. Saw your cushion earlier and loved it.
ReplyDeleteHave you only missed two Handmade Mondays. You put me to shame. lol.
just popping back to say you are so right about the poppies, they're everywhere! there is a field near me full of them - so beautiful - i keep meaning to go up there with a camera!

That's one very cute little owl. Teeth are very expensive now, will that lovely little pocket be big enough for the cash!! haha
ReplyDeleteLove the owl :) I can vouch for owls being in, they always attract attention on my stall (even if they don't always get bought!)
ReplyDeleteYour things are just so pretty and lovely! I have found that owls are very popular at the moment too!

Gorgeous makes as ever. I am about to embark on some owls too as I know they are so popular.
ReplyDeleteYour tooth fairy pouches are so lovely and a brilliant idea, these will be very popular I'm sure! Loving the owl too - fabric rehab had some owl print fabric recently I think. X

I wish I'd had a tooth fairy bag years ago-what a great idea!Love the owl too.
ReplyDeleteLove the owl! And the tooth fairy bags will look fab displayed on the mug tree, great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a little pocket for the 'tooth fairy' coin, I think the going rate's about a pound these days isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being involved in Handmade Monday for so long! I've enjoyed the couple I've joined in and received such a warm welcome, it's great that some of you have been invovled for so long though!
ReplyDeleteI love the tooth fairy pouch... and by the way I am holding you responsible for the way that I am trawling the internet looking at new machines! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the tooth fairy pouches I have not seen any quite like these before.
ReplyDeleteHi Caroline,,, I love, love, love the tooth fairy wallet. What an adorable idea:) I am a huge fan of owls too. I think it goes back to their first time being popular in the 70's. My favorite time. Finally got a blog post up myself. Getting back in the swing of things. Have a pretty weekend! (()) Gail
