Handmade Monday


WOW I know I always say it, but "Where has this week gone"? Can you believe that the little princess pictured above is now 3 weeks old? Izzy had some professional pics taken on Saturday and I made sure to include one of her modelling my hairbands. The band is actually just draped across her forehead as it is an adult one, but who would know?


I have popped in and out of the studio this week as I have had my Mother in Law staying with me, but today saw my 'official' return to work and I sent her off to Lakeside shopping whilst Izzy and I went to work. There is just enough room for her on the floor in my studio, but I do have to climb over her to get out!

One of my orders was for a local party company called Pretty Pollies. They are looking to supply goodie bags for their party girls but want to make them handmade. Obviously you and I know that is no easy feat as individually crafted items are very expensive and mark ups will be minimal, but I have made them a sample to trial on an individual order basis, so we will see how it goes.


Another teacher card, this time spelt correctly!


More buggy grippers


Work in progress for the week includes applique Octonauts characters destined for T-shirts.


and a doorstop chicken waiting to be stuffed and filled with weight.


What have you been up to this week?
