New Etsy items

I've been busy on my lunch break today adding new items to Etsy. Firstly, I've added my cute little Mrs. Flower keyrings onto there...

Also, an individual Snowman decoration, and my Mrs. Snowflakes. I won't post the pictures, as they've only been featured recently, but you can see them over there -> in my etsy pic!

In other news, I've decided to try a slightly new craft...button making. I've ordered some supplies from Blooming Felt so I will be experimenting with them after this weekend's craft fair. For which, incidentally, I am feeling a little underprepared - I am going to sew lots of things together tonight and tomorrow and by then I should hopefully be a bit more ready! :)

I'm so happy :)

Because, I've been given a blog award!!! :) :) :) :)

Lovely TipTop has named me as one of her chosen people to receive the proximity blog award. For the following reasons...

This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships!These blogs are exceedingly charming.
These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends.
They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement.
Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!
Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.

Now, my job is to pass this on to 8 more people. Hopefully, they will smile as much as I am doing!

Sarah at Blooming Felt, who has lovely pretty things!

ClaireP, whose blog entries always make me smile, and whose to do list is possibly longer than mine..

Sarah, because my Happy Tree is smiling down at me from his shelf :)

Sara, because she always has a lovely comment to share..

Rachel, who sent me the most lovely swap package, and whom I am still hoping will start a crafty business :)

Teacher man, whose blog I found when researching teacher training, and who makes me laugh out loud whenever I read new entries! (no idea of his name!)

Swirly, who has a blog purely for the joy of cute things (what more could you ask for??)

and finally,

Carolee Crafts, who is an enthusiastic and helpful on the craftsforum.

Phew, that took a while! Thanks again TipTop!x

Doodles :)

Hello everyone,

Just a very quick post to say that if anyone lives in the Tadley / Basingstoke / Reading area, please go to visit a brand new craft shop which has opened on Franklin Avenue in Tadley, called Doodles! I am soon to be selling some of my PeggyCrafts items there alongside lots of other very talented peoples' craft work. Good luck to the two owners, Melinda and Katy, I hope it goes really well for you guys!!

Meanwhile, a little picture of some Mrs. Snowflakes...

Full steam ahead

Hello everyone

I've had a busy weekend preparing for my next craft fair which is this coming Wednesday. I've been making lots of felt phonecases,

more Mrs. Flower keyrings and brooches...

and also, some very cool Christmas stockings!

All available on my website and at etsy. :)

Some recent pictures

A few pictures of the decorations I've been making recently...

It's no wonder I have sore thumbs!

Busy me

Hello everyone

I've realised that another busy week has gone by since I last posted on my blog. It's been very action packed - I've had another big order through my website which I've been finishing off today ready to post on Monday. And a few friends have been requesting items as well - which are also nearly done!

We had 'Wear it Pink' yesterday at work to raise money for Breast Cancer Research, which went really well - everyone looked very pretty in pink AND we had tasty pink fairy cakes - hmmmmmmmm!

You may find it uncool that I'm blogging on a Saturday night ... as do I ... we did have plans to go out, but unfortunately our friend has come down with nasty old food poisoning, so we have postponed for another week. On the plus side, I have enjoyed a nice glass of rosé and the X factor... ;-)

'Til next time, I'll leave you with this pretty pink flower xx

Website re-jig

Hello everyone,


Before I start, I just realised that it's only 5 in the afternoon and it's DARK! And raining!


I don't actually mind winter, in fact I quite like the whole staying in where it's cosy thing, but I think it's always a slight shock to the system when the clocks go back.


I've been fiddling about with my website this afternoon and have managed to put my lovely Christmas decorations in pride of place on the front page!





Thank you to Sarah at Blooming Felt for giving them a lovely mention in her blog, too! :)

Back to work tomorrow, but I need to do lots of crafting in the evenings, to prepare for the two craft fairs I have coming up in November.

Happy Sunday everyone xx

Etsy Treasury

I made an Etsy Treasury today!

Have a look here...

http://www.etsy.com/treasury_list.php?room_id=16905

It was so much fun! I had to look through lots of different craft items on etsy and choose some to go into my treasury - I chose the theme of Rudolph & Santa as I came across so many cute reindeer things and Christmas seemed a bit too vague.

You have to wait for the number of treasuries to drop below 333 before you can make one, so I was watching the screen for ages! Now I know how to make them, I'm going to make more!!

Halloween sale!

I forgot to mention earlier, that I've reduced the prices of my Halloween Trick or Treat Bags to £1.50 - I would like to send them all off to happy trick or treaters before the day itself! I have three left, so if anyone has three kiddiwinks who plan to go trick or treating, just pay for two through my website and I will throw the 3rd one in for free!

Phew!

I've realised that I've not posted for over a week now - eek!! I've been so busy, I just don't know where the time's gone. It's a hectic time of year at work, and I'm also teaching a few evening classes too. And, most excitingly, I've finished my very first wholesale bulk order!

Hooray!

I have packaged everything up (very carefully, I didn't want any of them getting travelsick) and sent them all off today, so a supersized load of my Christmas decorations are winging their way to Blooming Felt ready to appear at some craft fairs in the South. :)

I'm going to have a relaxing evening tonight, and then get going on creating some more felty goodness tomorrow. I've got another craft evening in 3 weeks, so I need to get ready for that - and have you noticed how Christmassy it's getting in town? With any luck, there'll be lots of keen shoppers at the next two craft fairs!

Hope everyone is well :)
