Shop Updates...

The Gingham Button Pack now contains 8 colours as standard = 80 buttons. The BEST 8 colours in my opinion. Other button sellers are selling all the colours mixed, but these are my current favourites :) Also: 3 THREE *new* felt colours in the FuzzyFish shop (see side bar links>>>)
This is Very Boy Blue:

This is 70%Cocoa:

This is Mushroom: (weirdly the most 'non-colour' avialble but my favourite to use right now?!?)

All good stuff - it's nice to keep adding / changing / updating / refreshing things.

Ladies and Gentlemen... Attention Please

I have an announcement to make!
Put this DATE IN YOUR DIARY... TUESDAY 23rd June ***7am till 10pm***
I have FREE UK POSTAGE in every etsy shop... FREE UK POSTAGE in http://PaperFish.etsy.com

FREE UK POSTAGE in: http://BigFish.etsy.com

FREE UK POSTAGE in: http://FuzzyFish.etsy.com (such a bargain! Felt weighs quite a bit ya know)

Even in http://SnowFish.etsy.com - although it isn't anywhere near Christmas!

Free Postage to anyone in the UK from any of my ETSY shops.

It is a great way to say 'Thankyou' to all my lovely UK customers - and to help make way in my studio for a few new bits and pieces.

I have a new camera arriving soon and i have plans to re-shoot items and freshen up the shops so... A day of free UK posting -

Purchase as normal and i will refund every postage cost to you so you can choose items from multiple stores i.e: Felt AND Buttons with a full postal refund on both x x x

I've been making these....

Usually, i have an IDEA, suddenly.
And it can take me no longer than a few hours to design, make, photograph and list it for sale! These little fellas seem to have been hovering in the studio half-made for about a year!
I think it took my Sister's input to make me finish a few.
She loved them and wanted one for herself,,,,, it was her birthday so i needed to finish at least one for part of her gift.

I think my issue was, i wasn't 100% sure .... what they 'are'!?

... my sister used hers as a keyfob / charm for her set of car keys.

... my daughter wore hers as a Zipper Pull on her jacket.

... i hung mine on my PIMPED (!) sewing machine as a handy pincushion...

So, you can see my dilemna?
They are a bit of fun. A splash of soft felt colour in your world.

I suppose you have to be a bit of a woodland / toadstool / mushroom 'fan' to see the appeal of these. But, anyway, they appeal to me...

Lots of variations on the same design and theme.

Different colourways and button choices.

Afterall, they are supposed to be 'fantastical' - who said they had to all be in red and brown?

Oh, colour play.

When will this fun ever stop? x

Stuff i'm up to...

Hello!!... so, i made lots of brooches over the past few weeks (as blogged previously) so i have been trying to find a sunny 10 minutes in the day to photgraph some for PaperFish I LOVE these tea cup images i downloaded from the net, i couldn't resist using them as a background for my photographs...

But these pictures are here to just to punctuate the post - i was really going to tell you that I am off to the Craft Trade Fair in Birmingham tomorrow for a lovely look around x i'd love to take you all but there is simply no room in the car :( lots of stalls all trading their creative lovliness. I am on the hunt for one or two new suppliers and *she hopes* a few exciting new things for the BigFish shop!

I will try to take lots of great pictures to share with you and i hope to upload them soon and tell you all about the great stuff i saw...

I also wanted to say one or two "SO SORRY"'s to anyone who had their parcels delayed by the snow! We had terrible trouble here and the Postal Service was so delayed. I think we are all back on track now though.

Thanks for your patience and understanding !

Put the kettle on, be back soooooon x x x
