Brand new! This double leaf keyring/bag charm is the first in a set of three to be listed here.

This week I've started to get busy with my umbrella prints trimmings competition entry, my ideas are slowly formulating into a concrete plan, I just need to get some supplies on Saturday - I can't wait to get going on it! Have you entered? Take a look at the competition here.

Just in time for spring in the uk is this bright leaf cushion cover, see here for more details : )

feather cushion - pink

New things are starting to appear here, starting with this cushion cover which has been hand embroidered in complementary shades, making it one of a kind. As a special offer to UK customers, I will include the insert for free if you write -yes please!- in the message to seller. : )

Make your bag stand out from the crowd

A second new bag charm is now available, in blue! They can also be used as keyrings but I must admit I am becoming quite attached to having it on my bag. Then again they are very tactile and feel nice in your hand too… you decide! : )

feathers, felt & fleece

I'm gradually getting back to my feathers after making a few Christmas presents! The alphabet below was for my niece, and I also made a little fleece bag for her to keep all the letters in.

Holly wanted to help too, so she was in charge of sewing the letter 'D', and what a great job she did. She also decided she needed a little fleece bag too, so the next night I made her this purple one. Don't you just love the Red Riding Hood ribbon? My sister gave it to me a long time ago and it has been waiting for the right project!

: )

Two more soft scalloped purses have made it into my shops, one here on etsy and one here on folksy. I really had fun choosing the colour combinations for these and I love how they all look together. Each one is one-of-a-kind, I have a few more to list but once they are gone they are gone! : )

things

I thought that to get the ball rolling I would show you some of my new materials and items in progress at the moment, first is my favorite stack of felt, most of which has come via my sister at http://www.paper-and-string.blogspot.com As well as making lots of wonderful things she also has a felt shop which I seem to be addicted to!

Next are some of my fabric fabrics of the moment, some I haven't cut into yet.

And lastly, here is part of my current pile of circles waiting to be chosen and made into something. Must go and do some sewing now, (well, after the washing and ironing, anyway) !
