The Grab and Go Zipper Wallet

What do you do when you are up to your eyes in wholesale orders, boxes for moving, a list of emails the length of my arm to answer, letters to write, new school uniform to buy, and a mountain of paperwork like you wouldn't believe. Well my contrary brain goes and dreams up a new wallet idea that I couldn't shake off. So after a few prototypes try out I have come up with something I am very excited about. Why because its fun, colourful and super practical. Hope you like. I will be listing a few in my shop this week so keep your eyes open. Happy Wednesday.

Closing Down Sale

Hi all, well my big move is fast approaching and with that my work load is getting to great even for me. I am keen to reduce the amount of stock I am packing and taking with me I mean I don't want the boat to sink with the weight of all of my stock. So I am going to be holding a closing down sale. (The closing down will only be temporary until I get settled) I will be stopping taking wholesale orders in the next week or so and that also includes custom work. So keep your eyes peeled on my shop www.madebymumshop.co.uk first come first served. Get some fab bargains and be organised this Christmas. Happy Monday

From My sewing Table

This week has gone in a flash. I am shattered completely shattered. I have had shop orders rolling in for Christmas and I have been working on adding to my online shop offerings. With the start of the new season and schools returning I am seeing an upturn on a busy summer season. So just for fun I thought you might like to see some of what I have been creating this week. Happy weekend everyone.

Guernsey Craft Fairs ????????

Hello friends I feel the season changing do you? My early morning walk now starts in the pitch black and I have had to call it a night at 8pm for my hand quilting. Only to start on my machine work. I love autumn it's my favourite season, all those wonderful colours, the smell of the log burner and the expectation of Christmas. One of my favourite things to do in autumn is get a few craft and handmade fairs under my belt. This year in particular I want to get out there and meet up with like minded people. But there is a problem, with me moving to Guernsey I have no local contacts to swap info with about up and coming fairs. So I thought I would try reaching out through my blog. If you know of any fairs or crafty people on guernsey please let me know. Happy Wednesday.

Let the Quilting begin

Hi friends I am so excited to show you my quilt progress. About 10 days ago I finished my double irish chain and have started slowly but surely to quilt it. Now this quilt is quite a size measuring about 80" x 80" and the prospect of trying to machine quilt it made by back ache just at the thought. So I am going to hand quilt it. It will be a labour of love and I think should take at least 1 year to 18 months if I spend at least 1 hour on it everyday. It will give me the opportunity to work on my hand quilting and get my technique much better. I will also be using feathers, lots of feathers which I loooooove. Here are a few pics of what I have worked so far. I am going to be using a cross hatch on my squares and feather wreaths in my free blocks and a double feather on my borders. Hope you like it.

Back to School

Hi everyone, its that time of year again when our little angels go back to school and we are left bereft in our ever so quiet homes. I have been busy sewing up a storm of back to school lovelies and I thought you might like a wee peek.

Happy Wednesday
