Thank you Folksy!
I’ve had some really great news this week, Plain Jane Textiles is about to get it’s first bit of publicity in a magazine and I’m unbelievably excited! Country Living magazine contacted me after seeing my work on Folksy and asked if I could send some samples of my glasses cases down to London for them to [...]
Busy busy week…
I can’t believe it’s been such a long time since my last post, this week has just gone by in a whirl and I had no idea that it had been so long! The fair last Saturday went well although it was a little quiet, probably because of the poor weather more than anything! It [...]
Countdown to the fair…
I’m packed, sorted, the lists are made and the jobs are all done! I think I’m ready! I have plenty of stock (apart from the cuddly pugs – I’ve only got 3 left!) so I should be fine. All the Christmas decorations are made and all the little pouches are sewn. I will take a [...]

I’m a very happy printer…
Every day should be like this! I woke up this morning to finish off the printing for the Christmas decoration pouches and then got my little suitcase ready to go out. I had an appointment to pop down and have a chat with Emma from The Old Sweet Shop at Nether Edge about possibly stocking [...]

Failed miserably…
So much for work today, I did manage to finally get out of bed and go for a little walk and spent the whole time out feeling like I would fall over any minute. My mum thinks I’ve got an ear infection too but that normally comes with the brain splitting pain which thankfully I [...]
Out of bed and ready to go…
Well, sort of ready to go! I’ve decided that after 2 and a half days in bed I need to get some strength up today before I have a long 10 hour shift on my feet all day tomorrow. I really can’t afford another day off work so I must go. So the plan is [...]
Stuck in bed with the wifi…
I’m a sorry sight this week, am stuck in bed with this bloomin’ awful cold and bored out of my brain. I attempted to go back to work on Thursday because I had an important training session in town. When we stopped for lunch though I went to M&S to stand in their mammoth queue for a [...]
