Wedding season....

June....a time for weddings.....here's a few little bespoke bits and pieces I was asked to create for a lovely couple earlier this year; I thoroughly enjoyed designing these and they were very well received - hope I get the opportunity to do more soon ;)

Keep on crafting!

As well as my core designing work I have been continuing on the craft fair side of things too....usually our stall consists of lots of lovely things that I have designed, but have been lovingly sewn and put together by the fabulous Elizabeth and Ruth. For our latest fair, however, I added a few printed items to the mix...all designed and created by moi; these have been well received and yesterday my first mailing of a framed piece arrived happily with it's new owner....here's a little looky:

- I have one more left, and hoping that it will find a new home when I will be manning the stall again; this time in Ashby-de-la-Zouch - click here for more details. If you would like to know more about my little ventures with Ree-Stitch, then please click on the link in the right hand column or here...

When I created the design I liked it so much that I thought it might be quite nice to create a Christmas equivalent in the hope that it would be licensed....I'm happy to say it has just been sold this week, over in the good ol' US of A; here's a sneaky peek at it:

A lovely time at the craft fair

Hellooo, how are you all today? Thought I'd fill you in on how everything went at the weekend....

It was busy, busy, busy here in the run up to Sunday; sorting out business cards, labelling things up, framing prints, etc, etc, and up until Saturday I hadn't even seen all the lovely makes by our very talented Ree-Stitch seamstress Elizabeth, only a few snapshots, so waited patiently with anticipation for their arrival....well, I was not disappointed (even if I do say so myself!!) - they were better than I could have ever imagined - hurrah for Elizabeth - you're an absolute star!!! Here's a few pictures of our stall for you to see....it was a beautiful sunshiny day!

We had lots of interest, and lots of lovely feedback, and many people came and took our business cards etc....hoping it will bring some further enquiries in soon as we had a few people asking us about customised designs based on the letters trio.....all very exciting!!

I was busily snapping away at the stock yesterday, so have a little look on my facebook page (click the Ree-Stitch link over on the right hand side of this page) to view all of our lovely products...hope to see you over there peeps! ;)

Trying my hand at the Community Fete....

It's been a quiet couple of weeks on the blogging front, but I'm back again to tell you what I've been up to...

 - My good friend Eve told me about this local event as she thought it might be a good way to showcase my crafty wares, so I thought hey, why not give it a shot (it was free after all!)....here's some snaps of what was on sale:

- I created quite a lot of new stationery items - larger notebooks, notecards, postcards and address labels.

It was a scorching day, and with lots of entertainment going on it attracted quite a lot of visitors - there was Brazilian drumming (which was fab), dancing, singing, it was great...but, unfortunately, not many shoppers.  I did have some success though, and was so pleased that my dalmatian print went - it's one of my favourite pieces and was purchased by a lovely little family, so that made my day! :D

I'm still on the look out for new places to try out my work, so if anyone knows of any great crafty events/ venues where you think I may fit in then let me know...it would be muchly appreciated! :)

Peak Fair preparations....

It's an exciting weekend for me this weekend, as I will be showing my artwork at a craft fair in Bakewell....it's the first biggy I've done, so I'm hoping it'll be good. I will be selling a selection of limited edition prints for kids, so if you're in the area, then why not drop in and see if there's anything you might like for that special Christmas gift. The craft fair is running all weekend, but I will be there on Sunday only. Here's a little taster of what you will find.....

- Would be lovely to see you! :)
