Illness blues…
Ok, I’m not really blue, just ill! I think I over did it trying to move in to my studio so for the last week or so I’ve been so under the weather that I’ve hardly been enjoying that new studio. I’ve taken some time for proper rest and recovery which means stopping at home, [...]
I love Colette and Kiss Prudence…
I have a new pattern obsession – Colette patterns. My patterns arrived yesterday and I couldn’t wait to start them. My back is very bad this week so I can’t do much of anything but I can sit at a sewing machine so that’s what I did! Here is the gorgeous fabric I used, it’s [...]
Bank holiday blues…
I had a sewing disaster today, let me say now that I hate rubbish sewing patterns! I borrowed a book from a friend which has lots of lovely looking patterns in it, including the strappy top which I wanted to make but today I tried and it was a disaster. Let’s forget for a second [...]
Lucky me…
I’ve had a great week this week, I’ve been featured on Cuteable again and also on one of my favourite sites – True Up. I’ve also been in two treasuries – lucky me! True up is a fantastic site dedicated to the love of fabric, I was absolutely chuffed to bits to be mentioned! I’ve [...]
Spring has arrived…
I’m so glad it’s March! February has been a bad month so I’m glad to see it out of the way and hope that the weather will start to get a little better now. I popped in to my studio last Monday and actually managed to open the window it was that warm. I as [...]
Bye bye old, hello new…
Phew, it’s all over! I moved house on Friday and boy was it a palava? Not only was it incredibly stressful and tiring but completely draining too. I spent most of Friday and Saturday worrying about getting it all done before the transit van had to go back and worrying my dad was going to [...]
Folksy featured seller…
Two posts in one day? What is the reason for this you might ask – well, I got a lovely message this morning from Beth of The Linen Cat telling me that she’d picked me as one of the featured sellers on Folksy for June – how fabulous is that? She also picked three of [...]
Folksy featured items…
Folksy recently asked Folksy members to choose one featured item as a trial for the homepage and then 70 (or something like that!) items were taken from that list and they keep re-appearing on the homepage. Guess what? My purse was chosen! I even spotted it on the homepage… Can you see me? Very tiny [...]
Back to the planning…
I’ve been taking things a little easy since the Spring Fling craft fair. There was so much work involved in all the organising, it sounds like I’m complaining but I’m not – it was great and I would (and will be!) doing it all over again but I’ve really enjoyed having a break over Easter. [...]
Protecting a product…
How do you know if someone has copied you? How similar can a product be without actually having copied your work? Is it all a case of just how much of your idea appears to be in this new product? I’m struggling with all these questions this morning and to be honest I’m a bit [...]
