Handmade Monday No. 70
Hope you all had a good Easter. The weather was not so good either rain or snow and cold. Roll on spring.
Stock Sorting
As mentioned last week my first event is in May but always find it exhausting and stressful getting ready for an event. This year started early, the stock is now all labelled and dumped stored in the garden room. DH is not too sure about this as 6 weeks away but it is staying.
Back to this week:
Sunday: Updated blog post for last week. Priced craft books and added to Paypal app. finished off the stock sort as above image.
Bought myself a crochet book for beginners. Now have always wanted to learn, can do a very, very long chain but never understood how to go back and stitch. This book and hook came in a kit form and so far excellent. It clearly explains what to do in each step. Have started on the bag as shown, worked in SC. Will post a pic when finished. I think crochet could get addictive, lol.
Monday: What did I do all day?
Tuesday: Popped up to the farm shop for some more pea gravel for the back path's, delivery due tomorrow. This is a farm shop and nursery and they only have plants in season which is fantastic for us, this way we know what will grow. Plus very reasonable compared with the garden centres.
Wednesday: A day of doing nothing, could not be asked but did catch up on my magazines: Daphne's Diary and Where Women Create got some wonderful ideas to store away.
Thursday: Decided not to have a grocery delivery this week, dived into Sainsbury's for some basic's instead. Then onto the garden centre at Rake for a browse round. Such a beautiful day spent most of it in the garden and walking and playing with the dog. Set up my embroidery machine for a project to start on Friday
Friday: Dog walk, washing out on the line and in my sewing room
Saturday: New section 'Parisien Boutique' all things French themed, so far

Animals in Flowers new collection launch
Finally got there had to wait for silk organza sheets from the US, got impatient and ordered (more expensive) from a UK source only to be told after the order was placed that they were doing a stock take and would dispatch asap! However they arrived and I was able to complete my first new collection of 2018.

I am happy with how everything turned out and just love these watercolour images.
Joined a challenge on a FB group for Valentines Day. Wanted to do something slightly different and thought these kitty and dawgie mug rugs were perfect. They are also not just for Valentines Day.

The final piece
Finally got there and the last piece for the bluebird collection is off my machines.
Clutch bag
The blossoms have Swarovski hot fix crystals in the centres, think goes well with the glittery fabric.
Seven pieces in this collection and although seemed to take an age to complete happy I finally got there. Added to my shop at Carolee Crafts.
Next project? either wedding or baby, not sure which. Currently knitting a bodice in moss stitch with a cable pattern, which will have a fabric skirt. So maybe the baby/toddler items should be next. Decisions, decisions...........
Have a great weekend folks
