The Fox Craft Fair 29th September 2012

So the lovely Ally came to collect her bag and was very pleased AND so was I of course!! It is so nice when someone likes what you make...it kind of makes all the late nights worth it!! On top of that I was doing a new little line of body scrubs/polishes all made with essential oils and organic ingredients. Also a lot of interest in the little vintage and retro teapots!! I sold the lovely cushion with the glamour girl on and also

one of my favourite prints with the street scene!

Vintage Material Clutch Bag

So been busy making.... this is the first of three commissions that I have had to work on. A clutch bag for the lovely Ally to be delivered to the Fox Craft Fair on Saturday... Materials.. vintage/retro outer and inner, plus semi-precious stone clasp. Fingers crossed she likes it!!

I decided to make a little protective bag for the bag... made from the lining material....

I decided to just add a close up of one of my lovely 50s chalkware wall hangings.

So I've been a bit out of sync with this little old blog recently.... with bits and pieces happening... a new website, craft fairs, making and just about being made redundant from my day time job! Anyways, here is some amazing fabric that I found recently....

I've got it earmarked for some projects for later this week!x

Been busy busy busy.... my lovely bro came up and made this lovely little video of me chatting on about what I do....! http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/24219590_TgN64g#!i=1970660603&k=drsVtKd

A few of my new purses to sell at the Fox Craft fair Saturday 28th....x

This is a most brilliant book that lovely Nancy got me for my Birthday.... so inspiring.... I wouldn't be surprised if I end up buying some potatoes!!!

Recovered lampshade and 70s lampstand base

So... I found this amazing lampstand base in a little vintage shop sitting on it's own without a lampshade!! I had been thinking for a while that I must recover an old shade that I had and also spurred on by Liisa's shade she covered and her tales of her exploits at the lampshade covering course I thought I would have a go... made it up as I went along!

Before in the sunshine and raining outside...
