Pre Country Living nerves! Part 2

For those regular readers I thought I would do a little follow up on my Pre show nerves and for those not so regular readers please refer to the post earlier this month. I want to thank so many of you for your encouraging and very flattering emails you have sent I appreciate them all. I sometimes feel as if I am talking to myself.
I have made some progress, not so much with my jitters they are still very active but with my mind set. I decided that yes things may go wrong but that I am going to plough on, I have had my head well and truly down this week and have been very productive. Last night for example I started at 7pm and worked right through till midnight. I was then up at 5am and got stuck straight back in. I can't complain quite the opposite it is a joy to work with such bright and beautiful fabrics, in this little selection I love the duck egg blue, raspberry pinks, sage green, pumpkin orange, chocolate brown all of them really.
On another note I am no longer taking custom orders for a few weeks I just want to focus on my forthcoming events.

Happy Friday.

Charity Shopping Week

Just a quick reminder that a Friend of mine Moira is hosting a charity shopping week at her lovely home ( Drumbeg St Martins ) There will be all sorts going on from cooking demos to card making as well as plenty of home baking I will be supplying sticky gingerbread. There will also be an opportunity for you to buy some lovely handmade and unusual gifts for Christmas. Please stop in if you can.
Happy Thursday

Some More Bamboo bibs

Just a little pic of last nights sewing. I just need to sew on the velcro now which takes quite a while, then onto the next batch.
Happy Wednesday.

Bamboo Bibs Going Fast

I have had such a run on my Bamboo Bibs, people from all over have been contacting me about my bibs. Its all so exciting. So my little sewing machine and I have been having some extra late nights trying to keep up with orders.

P.S. If you are still interested I only have a few Country Living tickets left so be quick.

Happy Tuesday.

Zippers

You either love them or you hate them. I did have a fear of zippers once but it is gradually wearing off I made a few little zipper purses. Perfect for money, credit cards, lip salve, my facial pads etc etc. And they all have a cute lining. Happy Monday.

Pre Country Living nerves!

I have got the jitters, with the show being so close. I am sewing like mad and in one way thinking I am not going to have enough stock and on the other hand thinking what if nobody buys anything. I think because I am so passionate about what I am trying to achieve, that my own self imposed pressure is steadily rising. I could go and buy stock but thats not what Made by Mum is about. All my products are made by Mum (ME) I want my customer to know that when they buy from me that I have taken time sourcing all my fabrics form all over the world that they have been washed in my machine and then hung out to dry on my washing line. That I have cut pinned and stitched each product with love and care. So last night when I was supposed to be making more gift baskets I was flitting from one thing to another. Today I still feel unsettled but am going to finish the baskets so that I can say thats something less to do rather than have a pile of half finishes items. I wonder if this is what other crafters feel like? I debated whether or not to write this post but decided I want my blog to be a true reflection of my business journey, the good and not so good. I hope to be back later with some pics for you.
Happy Saturday.
