Computer -weary but a great deal!!!!

Whew!!
Well it has taken me a whole day but you can now get a bargain at my website - ANYTHING you order, yes, no matter HOW much! will be sent at a flat rate of £1.80 in the UK and £1.80 plus a £2 handling fee everywhere else!!!!
I know!!! What an absolute bargain!!!
So if you were to go mad on these beautiful polka dot beauties:
or develop a sudden hankering for loads of yummy wool mix felt in all these colours:or maybe polka dots aren't your thing and you're more of a gingham checked country girl? And you want these babies:

Then all you would pay is a mere £1.80 if you live here in the UK and £3.80 flat Air Mail anywhere in the world!!!!!!!
I know this is pure shameless self-promotion, but I also know how you all love a bargain.
And that's me after all - shameless!! xx
P.S. just to add, for Cass, who asked me, this will be permanent for the foreseeable future, not a special offer that will disappear - a special offer that will stay!! Which makes it very special!! Ok, I'll stop saying special now!! xx

A beautiful button post...

Yes your eyes are not deceiving you - the very popular RED polka dot buttons are BACK!!!!!
And not only that, my friends, they have brought some new cousins with them - may I introduce the AQUA polka dots....
the TEAL polka dots...the SOFT ORANGE polka dots...
and last but not least, the LIME polka dots!!!! Ta Dah!!!!!!!
Yes, I'm afraid I do feel a bit Ta-Dah-ry today - a bit like a magician pulling rabbits out of his hat, well buttons, not rabbits, obviously.
I am in rainbow heaven, surrounded as I am this morning by all this colour and all around yumminess.
There is more......
are you sitting down?.....Okay, I have the wonderful Spotty Dotty buttons in a smaller size, they are just the height of cuteness! Check this out-
these babies are half an inch (just under 1.5cm) in diameter and they are SO cute!
The eagle eyed amongst you may have spotted (sorry, couldn't resist!) a new colour peeping out there too. A lovely soft buttery yellow. I am in LOVE!!!!!
Sorry, the buttons are calling me now, I am just going to have to have a little play with all that colourful gorgeousness. And then there's the arranging - they need new jars, lots of jars, to be filled and gazed at lovingly......
In case you think I have completely lost it, I tell you there are lots of people out there in Crafty Land who would be exactly the same!! I know there are! ......Aren't there?! xOooh, nearly forgot to say! If you would like to share some of this yumminess, they will be in my shop and in my Etsy shop just as soon as I can get them there!!! You can always drop me a line if you have to have them NOW! I would understand completely!!!

A bit of crafting

Now that she has received the parcel and seen it, I can show you the bag I designed and made for my favourite Aunt's birthday.
Using an existing bag that was the right shape as a guide, I cut out the wonderful pear fabric and chose some stripey fabric for the lining. The existing bag didn't have lining, so I added this to the pattern - I also added a pocket inside. I used iron-on interfacing to give it a little more sturdiness. My Aunt had said that she would like good length straps to make it easy to carry so I increased the length of these.

I'm really pleased with how it turned out -

I also worked on a cushion commission - for a wedding present. A new take on the LOVE cushion:-
I added a polka dot fabric reverse -
Now I just have not one, not two but THREE mountains of ironing.....so no more crafting today!! Hopefully more to show you tomorrow - of more making, not the ironing! x
