I made it to the Treasury

Just a really quick post to let you know that a little felt embroidered bird brooch in my Etsy shop made it to the Treasury.

This is the link : http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=80327

This particular Treasury page is items from Etsians who donate some or all of their profits to a charitable cause, which is great, because even if it doesn't generate more sales for me, I'm sure it will for someone, so a charity somewhere will be getting extra help.

The Treasury list is only there till Tuesday evening, so be sure to take a peek

All good campervans should have one

In a week's time my youngest son Mike and his girlfriend Laura (the same Laura that works on the artwork for the Making Cards Specials with me) are going travelling in a campervan round Europe for a few months. They have been planning the trip for a very long time and as departure day draws nearer the list of jobs still to do become more urgent. Mike has been making storage boxes that fit the available space to best advantage and Laura has been sewing away on a very special quilt. I'll have pictures of that later - its soooo nearly finished, but not quite!

Trying to fit everything you need for a long period of travelling in one van has proven to be quite an art. Everything needs a home, including the pegs, so Laura cut some felt letters to label the drawstring bag

But this isn't just any old peg bag, its the campervan pegbag, so they decided to embroider a little picture on the back.

They BOTH wanted to do the sewing on this bit - even to the point where they were fighting because they both wanted to embroider the wheels !

I think its so cute!

New colourway embroidered flowers

Hi,

I've just added some new colourways to the embroidered flowers i've got on Etsy. I just love making these little flowers. Its adding the embroidery that I find so relaxing. I finish them off nicely on the back so if you want to add them to a hairband, or use them as a key or bag charm, they still look when the reverse side is showing. They are proving to be one of my most popular Etsy items, which is great as it means i'm generating a steady income to my Leukaemia Research Fund charity page on JustGiving.

Here is a picture of the new flowers and I'll add some piccies of items made with them soon. (Promise!!)
