Normal day to day design work has taken priority of late and I have a couple of interesting logo designs on the boil which I will reveal when they have been decided on and finalised.
In the meantime here are a couple of crafty things recently completed.
I do quite like making sewing needlecases and I've indulged in having some of my own books from when I was a toddler in the late 60's, printed onto fabric and stitched into a book style.
The first was a favourite fairy alphabet book. On the front cover the little fairy with the orange skirt at the left is Fairy Tinkerbell and as a long time believer in fairies, I used to have a fairy Tinkerbell who visited me as my tooth fairy.
Here are some inside shots.
The next needlecase is a kitten fairy tale book.
Here are the inside pages.
I'm having a stall at a Cake Break event on Friday afternoon to raise some funds for MS.
This is a good opportunity to take some of my sample and test pieces which I like to sell cheaply as I quite appreciate times are hard and people don't have a lot of money to spend on non essential craft items.
I'm sure if folks come along and have some cake and buy something for a £1 they'll be quite happy.
This is my basket of bargain, £1 items.
I'm also taking a few new things to test the market with. These are some fibre felted needles cases.
I have used recycled wool jumpers, felted some fibres in and then machine embroidered before shaping into the cases.
These are not very original as I saw some crochet apple coasters like this on Pinterest and thought I would do a version as a brooch.
I have lots still to finish off and label and then there's a cake or some buns to make too, busy day tomorrow!
