Today is a Tuesday...

Today is a Tuesday.
Tuesday is my only real work day in the whole of the seven day week. I rush around doing all the big bits and try to make the most of my daughter free day. I had a strange day on this Tuesday... slightly manic with lots of rushing and feeling stressed. I don't like feeling pressured, it doesn't suit me so... i had to go get some chocolate and run a bath to put things back into a managable perspective.
BUTTON MIX - a new mix called 'Prom Night' - it is a yummy collection of Pastels / Peacock / Pearls and Polka dots ...

Then i made this .... the cutest little Button Wreath in a 'Shaker style' to match my Shaker Hearts in the SnowFish etsy shop. I made a huge colourful button wreath for my house last year, so this is a mini version of it in reds and whites and pearls.
I cut a few more Shaker Hearts ..... (see above)

Me, getting my arse into gear and getting down to the Post Office. I am lucky that my Post Office is soooo freindly because i had about 20 parcels (gulp) they have 2 'windows / counters' and i avoided the lunch rush - they appreciate my consideration x
Boxes to send and boxes arriving .... it has been chaotic. Now i need to finish a large box going off to CANADA!!! In time for Christmas x

I'm not on holiday anymore

I returned from my week off to find a little list of sales to attend to .... always a pleasure!
But since then it has been full steam ahead. I have been making xmas decorations like a little factory. I find myself such a hard task master. I would ideally like to sack myself and employ someone less .... demanding.... But then, i'd never get any work done! X


Cut new buttons photo ahhhhhh x

New needlebook designs....

P.S I'm on Holiday!

I'm just having a short break in the South of England for a week. Be back on Friday 19th September. Don't miss me too much x

A little light reading for the lazy days....

Pampered Pooch

I am owned by a Diva of a dog, a real pampered pooch - chocolate labrador!
Yes, she is my first love (all dog mummies know what i am talking about)
When i first made a 'doggy product' to sell, i think it was a card with doggy stickers and paw prints... it was a top seller.

Since then, i can see just how devoted people are to their poochies.
I made this Pampered Pooch Brooch to see if my customers loved it as much as i do. And they do!
I have one listed in my etsy shop but, to be honest, i never to get to make enough for the craft stall let alone list on etsy.
Hope you like him?




I love wearing brooches.
They have so much ... personality!
