All work and no Play....

My school-Marm look...
I have been working way too hard and though i LOVE it, i need to relax a bit too.What's been going on?
New needlebooks on the production line... a few new designs and some of them repeats. I still love making these and they might be my fav product to sell...

But i also love making BUNTING because, although i play about with the fabric combinations for ages 'before' sewing.... once they are made up and ready to hang you get to really see how bright and fun they are. These are a 'b*gger' to make and a joy to sell.

The bubbly one above is my current favourite! so party-esque.

This one above is called 'Frida' as in Kahlo and it is sort of Morocco / Spain / Fiesta in style.

And the line below is a Retro Party mix. Spots and flowers, mmmmm....

Now, i have felt to cut, childrens paint brushes to clean, scissors to stack, bags to pack for a craft fair tomorrow, a child to dress and a supermarket to visit............. I need a day off!

Back to Bunting...

Well, it was a bunting week. The ABOVE set, I have struggled to photograph well. You know, darker Winter days and my inability to use a camera effectively. It is called 'Gingerbread Cottage window Bunting' - super cute in Ginger and red spotty fabrics with buttons all the way along the top to represent 'sweets' or 'candy'.
I sold a line within a day! So that made me feel really good x

This is my line from last year. Bright red and Green polka dots with little silver bells on the end of each pennant. They sold really well last year but i can't find the same fabric again !!!! i HATE it when i do that. So there are only 2 or 3 of these left now.
Note to self: always purchase more polka dot than you think you will need!...
I also said to myself "Kirsty, NO more bunting till next year - you are tooooo busy"
But, look, ....i saw these fabrics and i simply could not wait. I made this set of pennants the same night i purchased the fabrics. Sigh x i love it. It is called 'Emily Bunting' x


And when you are making one line of bunting, it makes sense to make a few. This is called "Hawaii Stars" - you see why (all in Cath Kidston fabrics)
So i did have a very busy 'Back to Bunting' week.

How did i manage to fit in some new Button / Badge packs too?
... i work too hard.
