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
HA! look at me...!
Whew.... what a week (or two ) that i've been having!
My mobile phone has long since been on it's 'way out'...
Then my camera broke :( - you know how sad that makes me...
THEN my sewing machine broke.... What's a girl to do? Sit and cry or get shopping?
Well, i started with a fruity new phone - and THESE photos have been uploaded from my mobile! "You're kidding!?" - pretty cool huh?
Then i got myself a fantastic sewing machine £100 - it's been 're-conditioned, so i figured i'd have a better chance that this baby works like a dream. It arrived about 2 hours ago and i'm just getting comfortable on it.
It arrived with a million free threads in gorgeous colours, which is always nice!
BUT, before the machine arrived, i was getting on with these Brooches which are all part of the Christmas Collection for my travelling Craft Stall. Yummy Woolly Flower button brooches.
I adore these colours and the chunky buttons.
Was also working on some new Badge Party Packs.

I am thinking these photos are quite good, considering they are from a mobile phone!?
Was also working on some new Badge Party Packs.I haven't worked up the courage to buy my new camera yet. It is alot of pretty pennies and i have a small hope my engineering dad can fix my old faithful???
I am E X H A U S T E D!! - techno stress. Life in the fast lane.

Did i prefer my life 3 years ago when i couldn't even turn a computer on without written instructions...... ? x
I am sooo distant right now!
I feel bereft! bereaved! b-b-bloomin lousy!
My camera is broken (***Kirsty WAILS and throws arms in a dramatic fashion***)
It isn't right for someone like moi not to have a working camera. It hurts my heart.
I managed to borrow my dads for a blip of a minute to photograph some new buttons:
the RETRO BUTTON MIX!!
Cute - 1.5cm - amazing colours - small but chunky (that black is a layer of the button and not 'coloured on') i am excited to see what people might make with these!!
I have been baking these gorgeous new batch of felt GingerMen and Ladies and adding some of the new buttons. Excitement! i luffs these people :)
Cheeky smiles x uploading into the SnowFish shops on Folksy and Etsy!
But no cheeky photos of the Fish or SmallFish as the camera must be returned :(

"Mama, where are stories made?"
A journey to Borders Bookshop and Starbucks Cafe...
The day started with a small girl and her chocolate fluffy bunny.
"We want some new stories to read Mama" (for 'Mama' is what she calls me)
"My dear" replied I "a splendid idea! For I too am of the opinion that, a few new stories would enliven our bedtime hour no end"
Of course, stories are not exclusive to 'bedtime' in our house, but it was the bedtime story that we particulary wanted to enhance...
It was a Sunny day from morning onward and it promised good omens for the hours ahead.
Together we decided on a combination of pinks, purples and spots for our bookworm expedition.
"hoorah!" we both exclaimed and off we went to Milton Keynes.
Being Mama's special girl, it was declared immediately that "Mama! we must go to the cafe first and you must need a coffee?"
"That's right" exclaimed I "Mummy would indeed appreciate a Cappucino! and you?" I asked "will you be having a Babycino?"
"Ooooh yes" the girl said, most sincerely.
"Ow! That first bit was a bit hot Mama!" shrieked the little girl.
"Stir the froth around you Tinker" said I "and allow it to cool to temperate drinking conditions"
So, she did.
Of course, my memory of our day might be slightly enhanced but never 'embellished'.

I drank Cappucino.
She drank Babycino.
We read books, laughed at the illustrations, collected ideas and spent money.
We talked about Dragons and girls with long stockings. We talked about Whizzpoppers and pirates and bird droppings.
It was glorious fun and we smiled and giggled all the way to the till and home again.
We love the bookshop x
Of course, my memory of our day might be slightly enhanced but never 'embellished'.Never under-estimate the power of a good story when attempting to turn a very 'ordinary' day into a day of wonderment and mysteriousness.
To produce a good story from thin air, is a Mamas most secret and useful of all her secret talents x

Love the reds and teals and mint green. Love the shapes and patterns. Love the spotty centres. Just delightful...
SO....., uUuummm, i got one in yellow too!
I didn't think i'd love it as much as the red, but i think i love it even more now i have it propped up behind my laptop work station.

Ummm, so.... this is what happend...
the sun came out a few days ago and, like many people in the UK, i went into a kind of 'dreamy reverie' which involved sun dresses and home-made lemonade.
And... there i was playing Super Slide Water Shoots in the garden and i started thinking, this is a wicked suntan i'm getting.... and then i started wondering "who won that Giveaway i was running on the blog..." (deathly silence - tumbleweed rolls - the penny drops) OH. It's MY blog.... I'm supposed to be putting them all in a hat and drawing a WINNER!!
SO.... begging forgiveness, and a few hours (make that a day) later than planned.... we have a WINNER!!! whoop-de-doooo.
