You may have noticed the new blog button at the side with the little big shop!
Well I have decided to hop on board this exciting new venture that will hopefully provide some escape from Ebay!!
I am currently trying out a shop based on the supplies that I sell via all my other outlets but have put them all in one basket for a change!!
I will be adding lots more soon hopefully and trying to cover more than just jewellery findings. I would like to create a supply shop that will suit lots of different crafts, but also ignite the imagination of those who like to try new mediums!!
As an avid crafts person who is always up for a new challenge, I thought I would just go for it!!
What do you all think ? Worth a shot as there are no listing or joining fees and just 10% final value which you can see as you list.
Come on!!! as they say in a very well known car ad!!! :-0

A couple of Sock Friends
I made a couple of sock friends today. The first one was a sock monster called "Freddie" who loves to party with his mates (see below)
This sock friend was made especially for my DD as she came home with this pair of socks and asked for a friend. She has named her Monkey "Cosy" as it is extra snuggly!
They decided to hang out and watch the world go by before my old shelf gets sold on Ebay!!!
Hoping to add a few more to my shop soon!!

A Busy Day
After waiting in all day for this to arrive, it has taken me about 3 hours to get it built!!
I saw this in a local shop, all made, but it was in Walnut and a bit tatty!! I did a search and found
it on addtions direct and I promptly ordered this one and a bigger one! This one has arrived but the bigger one is not coming until a later date!
It has a runner and a front shelf and a back shelf and I am trying to get my house sorted out and have some sort of filing system.
Making the bigger one is going to fun......NOT!!!
I also made these Birthday invitations for my Mum's 70th Birthday in January. She is sending them out with her Christmas cards and wanted them done quite early!
Hope she likes them!!
Need to make some commission work for glass hanging decorations and also some sock aliens that have been requested!!

Button Brooches
Well I finally got round to buying a big shot machine as I have been wanting something to cut fabric for ages! I went and got the daisies die cutter today!
Here are the results of my first effort. They are a combination of felt and material and all have a button centre.
I am really happy with the results :-)

New Website Launched
I am over the moon with my new website, though I still have lots of work to do with it! I am soo happy with my artwork from the very wonderful and ooober talented Laura aka Glueandglitter
She has done wonders yet again for me and I totally recommend if you want a logo then go to Laura!!
I have decided against having the website as the shop and to use it for information purposes but with a link through to my new Coriandr shop
I chose Coriandr as my main shop as I feel that the layout is the easiest of all the handmade sites and it takes hardly anytime to upload. Also you can now use old listings as templates, so if items have similarities and postal prices you don't have to input all the details again!!
Anyway, hopefully will be adding lots of new items over the next couple of weeks!! and please do comment on what you think.
