getting up to speed!

Hellloooo! So turns out having two blogs means I actually write less?! so lets get up to speed,

I have been BUSY! Iv not stopped, I have stitched my own finger to a cushion, ended up with 3 'Peppa Pig' plasters on my hand due to lack of concentration AND managed to make 15 t-shirts, 6 cushions, several xmas decorations and started a baby quilt all in 10 days. I'm shattered, I never ever want to sew again (ok maybe just today) but its all worth it, I now have a folksy shop, http://folksy.com/shops/MeMy, I chose Folksy as it is British and more importantly Etsy wouldn't let me have Me & My or any combo of that as my shop name as it was taken (boo!!!) so its their loss, I plan to add 2 new t-shirts to the shop each week, starting it 2 fox tees, then maybe 2 reindeer ones, test the water and see what happens, I also whipped up stock for a local shop in St Albans called rain drops on roses, you can find out more about that on my other blog, www.itsmeandmy.blogspot.com

and now I'm getting ready for boogaloo Craft Fair again, where oh where did October go??

 

 

Mouse decoration can be found on my folksy page, t-shirts are on request and are £12.50, same for cushions and they are £15 per cushion. you can also check out new designs, news and gossip on my facebook page Me&My

No Batman, just Robin

I always like to do a few 'pocket money' things for craft fairs, and although I'm definitely moving into baby clothing, and next year will be all about trade shows, I cant help making little things...so for the next few months I will have an on going supply of Robins, Foxes Reindeer and Owls being made from all manner of odds and ends.

 

This little fella are 15cm and 10cm, just the right size to hang on a Christmas tree or above a fireplace.

 

 

From now till Christmas.....

So, it look like I wont be seeing much day light between now and Christmas, I'm suddenly very very very busy! (I'm not complaining) but true to form I am yet again chasing deadline rather then kicking back and relaxing safe in the knowledge I'm ahead! My son starting nursery was meant to be an opportunity for me to have some office hours, where I could dive in to a pile of fabric for a few hours and be productive, instead I have watched many episodes of 'Teen Mom' on MTV (something I have never even watched before) and clock watched until I have to pick him up, not only am I now looking at a fabric explosion in my craft corner, BUT I am also fully booked up until Christmas with Craft fairs AND stocking for retailers, not to mention my stupidly ambitious idea of trying to pitch at a baby trade show next spring....I am a one woman sweat shop.So If I suvive the next few weeks....

woo hoo its a Thursday post!

Hi! Just a quick post of a new design,

This one was a real tough one, as I already designed a cushion with this motif a few months back that I loved, and the pink/green combo worked well on the clean simple white drill cotton backing, so finding a tee in the right colour was hard, and I took a bit of a gamble with blue, but I like it, I may try a green tee with a mauve circle background or even go back to white  what do you think? ...but for now I'm cutting out teeny tiny felt robins to to turn into Xmas decorations...my pile of unfinished work just keeps getting longer!
