Do come and find me on Instagram if you're on there too.
Here's what's made me smile this week:
1. Completing an order for a cushion and bunting for a little girls bedroom, and then receiving the loveliest message of thanks from my customer who wants to order some extra items to match!
2. After making the doll last week for my daughter, I set about designing and making this dinosaur for my son. I finished it yesterday, and watching him hug it close with the biggest smile on his face just made my day. He's named it 'Lily' after a girl at nursery.
3. I walked past a charity shop and this lovely dish was sitting in the window. I had to have it. It's not in great condition, it's a little cracked and yellowed with age and cooking, but I just love it!
4. I ordered some lino cutting supplies months ago, but have yet had the chance to have a play. So this afternoon I finally set to it. Well, it's been almost 20 years since I last attempted block printing (at school) and it's safe to say I am totally rubbish at it. I need lots more practice, not to mention an ink roller which would probably improve the results!
More lovely things. I really like that dinosaur, it's wonderful, and so simple. I often find that so many crafty things are aimed towards girls and my three year old son gets left out. x
ReplyDeleteThank you Gillian. Yes crafty projects do appear to be more geared towards girls don't they, definitely a gap in the market there!
DeleteCushion and bunting are lovely. Dinosaur is fabulous also.

Thank you :-)
DeleteLove your makes..... What a fabulously crafty week you've had! X
ReplyDeleteThank you! Always seem to be busy now the children are old enough to put in their own orders!
DeleteOH. My. Gosh!
ReplyDeleteThat little purple dinosaur is gorgeous!!! It put a big smile on my face!
And that bunting, I love it, we never really had those here in the States but I see them taking off and see more and more people making them, I'm thinking it's because of beautiful blogs like yours and pintrest, making people more aware of British design!
Thanks Tammy for your lovely comment! Yes I think bunting is a very British thing indeed, very garden tea party!
DeleteI love the idea of doing a blogpost on what makes you happy throughout the week...I think I'm gonna have to start doing this!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Chel. It's great when you unearth a treasure isn't it :-)
