Orders And Deliveries

This week end I got a couple of orders done 

This wall hanging is for a fellow blogger, Its a new design I have been playing with

 I managed to get a bag of Harris Tweed off cuts, they arrived yesterday, lovely colours and variety I have got a project in mind for them.

 A trip into town and I popped into Lidl I was told they had denim jackets in for £11.99, I managed to gt a black one, I want to do an embroidery on the back of what I haven't decided.

 I also got myself a couple of denim shirts £7.99 each one black and one blue again I am going to decorate them up.

 More fabric arrived yesterday, lovely cottons, they are from a mystery fabric box I often subscribe to. Its nice to get a surprise through.

 This cushion is an order for my niece, she wants it for mothers day

 This picture I stitched out just for the fun of it, because I like it, I am going to pop it in a frame, I do like these scribble designs.

I might even re-stitch it on one of the shirts I got.

 

A Few New Things

I have been making up a few new things ready for my stall next month.

I had the idea of doing some medic alert seat belt covers, that can personalised with names if wanted and medical conditions. 

 They are fastened onto the seat belt with kam snaps, and washable.

 A 3d dragon dreamcatchers

 He is all stitched out on organza

 I also stitched out Horatio Owl, he stands 15 inches tall and is fitted with a proper working clock

 Today has been some fun glove puppets

 They are all made from fleece.

I Love Surprises

I have a few times signed up and bought had lucky dip or surprise boxes to do with crafts, my most recent is from Rainbow Stitches, website is HERE she is a small independent trading on line, I got to know her through one of the embroidery groups I belong to.

Each month she runs a different theme the boxes are sent out the first Tuesday of the month and you need only sign up for ones you want for £15 its not a subscription which I like, I had often bought vinyl through her and thought I would give one of the boxes a go, my July one arrived yesterday.

 I was very impressed

 20 pre cut 5 inch squares of a pinstripe felt, all different colours

 2 fat quarters of batik cotton fabric

 25 dotty 4 inch cotton charm squares all different shades

and a half jelly roll 20 strips.

I have already signed up for the August box the theme is denim really looking forward to seeing what is in it.

Its a wonderful way of getting a good selection and of course if there is anything in particular you like you can buy it in larger quantities.

I love it when little independents do things like this it makes them stand out from the big boys.
