Since I last posted about the fabric business card purses that I’m making for Cybermummy I’ve had quite a bit more interest, so with just a week before the conference itself I sat down, did some sums, resisted the temptation of a spreadsheet, and worked out how many I could realistically make before I [...]
Next week I’m going to London to attend the Cybermummy conference, I’ve got my business cards and today wanted to start my day with a bit of sewing so I decided to make my cards a little purse. I tweeted the results and a soon enough a friend asked for one and before I knew it [...]
I’m really pleased to let you know that this week I’ll be adding vintage and recycled button packs to the shop. I love buttons and always always want to buy up those old tins and boxes that you find in second hand shops and car boot sales. I’ve already got several jam jars full waiting [...]

I’ve been quiet on the blog recently because I’ve been working on new products as well as spending time trying to re-organise the shop element of the site to make it easier to find things.

Tara’s theme for this week’s Gallery blog hop was “children”. Which is great timing for me as I spent the day making up these monsters from my daughter’s old pyjamas. As parents we all know just how much stuff accumulates when you have children and though we might pass on or ebay a fair amount [...]
It has been a very busy few weeks here in Summerland, though I have to say right now it is feeling a little bit Winterland as the seasons turn through Autumn to Winter. I had a stall at the Pretty Posh Local shopping fair recently and while I didn’t make as many sales as I [...]
I am really excited to announce that next week I’ll be adding the Georgie bird sewing kit to the shop pages. Having sent out test kits I’ve received feedback and have been busy making amendments to the instructions and today I finalised the packaging. It is all coming together very nicely. Here is a quick [...]
I know Bob Marley sang about three little birds, but I’ve only got to two. I made up another version of the Tweet bird today, this one with a floral body with pink gingham wings and gusset. Button eyes and a fabric windmill tail give this little one a funky look. Another change on this [...]
It was my daughter’s second birthday recently and I made her a quilt, I have a rather idealistic notion that I might make her one every year. Though last year I cheated and gave her one I had made my grandmother before her death. But Miss will be going from a cot to a proper [...]
