As promised my missed makes xx

As I promised during my previous post, here are the makes that you have missed during my absence from my blog.   I have been busy doing lots of granny squares!   Oooh I love a granny square, your mind can wander upon other makes or just generally drift away with the fairys, mine generally does this alot!!

Granny square, granny square ohhh granny square ......

I have been busy making items for sale in the shop, designing my own crochet patterns which is not a quick task!!  I have also made items for my shop window as you have seen in my previous post, the sexy sun was machine embroidered which I do love doing, its a break from my usual crafts of crocheting and sewing.  

Sexy sun has got her lipstick on!

I have also been totally addicted to making Tilda dolls, in total in the past four months I have made approximately six.  As I have stated before, they are just delightful to make and the fabrics and trimmings are a joy to work with.  I had a break during Christmas from making Tilda dolls, as I was busy with my new window display.  However, I have had withdrawals and am now working on my seventh doll, which is the Kitchengarden Angel.  She is wearing dungarees,a headscarf and pink flip flops.   I then have two left to make which I will of course show you.

I have also found Gingermelon, which is sooooo cute, her little characters are made from felt and are simply adorable.  I have made Rapunzel, thereafter become addicted and now have quite a few patterns.   I am sure you will agree how lovely they are?  If you do like these little characters then head over to Etsy.  Shelly who sells the patterns is lovely too.

Well there we are, my makes so far.   I will of course keep you update as the makes progress. Have a lovely Sunday evening and a good week ahead.  

Hello have you missed me?

Hello!!! So sorry I have been away for some time, I am hanging my head with shame, that I have not been keeping my blog up to date.  There are a few reasons why I have been away;  I have been sooooo busy with the shop.  I have also been getting to grips with Facebook, having never used it before, I now have a business page.   Also, I have had problems uploading images to my blog.   However, I have found out that I am not the only one, others have had problems too.   Anyway, less of my excuses, I hear you say.    I will up date you as to my makes and achievements!!

I have been busy, busy making things for Miss Millicent, to include my new shop window to start the year as I mean to go on, I decorated the window on New Years Day.  Hope that you like?

Lovely Juggly with blooms of blooms!!

Busy bees busy and buzzing . . . . . . . . .

Tea for two anyone?

Taa daaa xx

As you can see I have made the majority of my window display from the sexy sun, the jammie dodgers, love birds, Tilda bird cage, crochet cakes, felt cakes, all the flowers in my lovely huge green jug, which is a very old vintage jug courtesy of my favourite Auntie Dol xx  Hope that you like?   I have had lots of lovely comments from my customers who have said that it is both striking and pretty.   I just want to create something different in Stafford, containing all the things that could not find as a crafter and gift ware lover.   Hope that you agree that I am achieving this?

I have been re-arranging the inside of my shop and over the past few months have been adding to my stock.   I have a new wool supplier, I have decided to stock Katia wool as this is very up to date and  their wool is just amazingly different.  My Knit and Natter has commenced!! Woo hoo, I must say there is more nattering than knitting, but the ladies are lovely and I enjoy every class as there are funny stories, discussions said by all.   I worry sometimes that my neighbouring shops may complain about the laughter going on.   

I have also been busy making for Valentines, which is all things red and lovely and all will be revealed soon.   I will post tomorrow with my makes that you have missed whilst I have been away.  Such that I may return to your good books.   See you tomorrow and have a good night  xxx
