71 weeks?

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.

Been quite good this week but that could all change!

  1. 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.

  4. I know what you mean about waiting for deliveries. I get so impatient when I know something is being delivered that day. Love the owl :-)

  5. I 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!
    The tooth fairy wallets are really sweet- a nice little size!

  24. Hi 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
