There was a sewing machine featured for £5800! I wonder if it makes you cup of tea while you rustle up some jeans?<br /></p>PeggyCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07755113480945379339noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231453165947767151.post-62718518120397028142010-05-11T11:09:00.001-07:002010-05-11T11:15:09.055-07:00New brooches<div><div>This past week has been a lot more relaxing.

I had a bit of time off and concentrated on me-time and feeling tons better now. I'm back at work and feeling a bit like an outsider but on the whole it's been good coming back and getting into the swing of things!<br /><br />I'm also going to spend more time just enjoying my crafting this year. I'll see how it goes as time goes on but would like to expand my little business and maybe concentrate on it as more of a full time thing.<br /><br />Hope everyone's well<br />Love<br /><br />Helen xxPeggyCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07755113480945379339noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231453165947767151.post-49111172414750420842009-09-24T11:43:00.000-07:002009-09-24T11:54:57.059-07:00Holidays<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEjAE_RBXMkDRya9cU28Xb2ltWGqGVbBsXki5jx2Dq7yBihkqLKvMjRu-rWBJw6ygqR4Glv12l1ul_3hedTBru7El6E7GqF4sZM9dWZ5o5o4YfK_QSP7N_K5BziuA1ThQY9lFRu_Ki2bQX/s1600-h/DSC01271.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385109183464764770" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEjAE_RBXMkDRya9cU28Xb2ltWGqGVbBsXki5jx2Dq7yBihkqLKvMjRu-rWBJw6ygqR4Glv12l1ul_3hedTBru7El6E7GqF4sZM9dWZ5o5o4YfK_QSP7N_K5BziuA1ThQY9lFRu_Ki2bQX/s400/DSC01271.JPG" /></a><br /><div><div>This week, we got back from a fabulous holiday to Florida.</div><div><br /></div><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385108426613265314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ61CXGWHXbM1RhBDk-yndMoJMQis_sOKuAMCaYdV1QZxXvIw_-MfbWoc_9_rcSgIT_YVkrkpQq9PsfWufKuzCQWXzowJyyiHSZflbbKPzsJ9M-bCvDdrR8m83hNrIKJ8Bdp3L8uHQhae9/s400/DSC00282.JPG" /></div><div> </div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385108438158185442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6C025srUXx0Wq4k6aVI4XDBYk4xOw2vxtndtcDSjNmdKlnXN0GxfaGG_-dSHIgCEiTJwWcXl_q45gTJuYbyIOBgfRjLe1JcBVWCfdQTYQZ5ovAEqGDRYRu_Gs_B18g4J7d9EhAcsDFGK/s400/DSC00205.JPG" /><br /><div></div><div>It's been a little tricky adjusting back to the cold English weather, I can tell you!</div><br /><div></div><div>I'm keeping myself busy with preparing for the craft fair at Ordsall Hall, Salford on 11 October.

And, pleasingly, it turns out that cake-icing is not all that different from making pretty things from felt!<br /></div><div> </div><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370463423824387698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEicRFZH6XhQf6FCrQup8Ev7uWX8Ilwc5CTWiFmb4pNEhgnWC18kf-iGmF7xEe_bGgJMbk9BZFAd0Ga1B_7aNYAi4enE9AjuBEGIvRHOTWHdk7r5rT900HMOv4Iv0VSWFbXs3tQ8NkTcPW/s400/DSC01197.JPG" /> <div><br />I mean, obviously, there’s no sewing involved, and the cake itself is a lot tastier than the fluffy stuffing I use in my felt projects. However, it still involves pretty colours and Mrs. Flowers!<br /><br /></div><div>I (well, my mum) am now in the process of trying to get all the bits and bobs I need sorting in order to sell my little cupcakes at craft fairs and on my website. I’m so excited at all the cakey possibilities there are. Personalised, fruity, pastel, brights, fairies, footballs...<br /></div><div><br />There’s a fair bit of research, information-gathering and experimenting to do before expanding my little business to include PeggyBakes. Do I need a new website? How do I package cupcakes safely enough to send them?<br /><br /></div><div>But I’m so excited!!! </div></div>PeggyCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07755113480945379339noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231453165947767151.post-78721771112778684202009-08-02T01:28:00.000-07:002009-08-02T01:40:13.134-07:00It's August already?<span style="color:#000000;">Oh, where does the time go?

All you have to do to enter is...<br /><br /><br />1. Tell me which is your favourite peggycrafts product (you can find them all <a href="http://www.peggycrafts.co.uk/">here</a>)<br /><br /><br />2. Give me an idea for a new creature to be made into a lovable peggycrafts item.

I'm welcoming descriptions from jewellery sellers who are after a range of bags tailor-designed to their business or logo.<br /><br />Tomorrow I am going to try and get a last minute hair appointment as my doo is growing out of control, and *hopefully* do some sewing on my patio!<br /><br />xxPeggyCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07755113480945379339noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4231453165947767151.post-90743745484027015002009-04-05T14:39:00.001-07:002009-04-05T14:46:16.997-07:00Small BagsHere's my new range of little bags.<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325480498699730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 347px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIwp7EsxB9S3wVL9YaenRujoiNZcteokThSn35vEI5srIHF4qfuN4gv3FS4PKiClr9gZurvJHsT8YcIiwIts1gmv8n5A9H_j6XqzGyso83WNQxMagGt4bRBbEN4Yy3y0ESaGZi50EdO-SU/s400/Lilac+Felt.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgayZudjIbEh98lZ3Cmgb3FF2waRLwoocE-FwAHRhzsKqxCAnoR-TjYhqGkAgBrUJk3hyphenhyphenmXZ8JRRq8ona2wl_zWbh90FWdUJH3CkmYc3R8hc1iJDNDb-V8GH5ZEDQAxK3MHc0ttOqv3N2f/s1600-h/White+Felt.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325652442303778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 347px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgayZudjIbEh98lZ3Cmgb3FF2waRLwoocE-FwAHRhzsKqxCAnoR-TjYhqGkAgBrUJk3hyphenhyphenmXZ8JRRq8ona2wl_zWbh90FWdUJH3CkmYc3R8hc1iJDNDb-V8GH5ZEDQAxK3MHc0ttOqv3N2f/s400/White+Felt.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325467293397602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx2_OYsuREOvmTWcKY1Y2QZaw0QjDsqWtpdALGR8pLLkeD_X8cswu9v6yngW64JRLj4DiS9tibEq8IQ1od8zJQRIa3iBgGCJL2w_8_6h6xLR5vreD6_UWmka1EKq769NbAP7LComEKixtw/s400/Cerise+Felt.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325471955785346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5UFh_MQED_hPa5FeR-CMydDvHpaZzdsOadOljXZAFopW_R4et3FsAsxaI70K7RlBUa62DlhMdMYAgq8ojJQDS-DGEfiTWE_mHbzp_d0hIiPqImK3cn7DcS2QL4R_FOE5qY04gL7Br5kgF/s400/Green+Felt.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325449766313378" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 377px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYZTGV_xi3dGWIFwL4GZeARP4SQHpWWgSU3QmV0KMBlchTjqdWeGbFVc41jnvSWsSyJiii9JbvA3L7k01ITkeNRwOPGSRz_9eXZT5QRL_E0OofSuT7UMv76z5X24sIrgJLHBD04Ynd10MN/s400/Blue+Felt.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325656368809010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 310px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0K3rbywI1Mj8a2LUi3u4_zTY5fTymScCPJs7Vjzy-MS_HR_vYG8G5lWB47IMsushItufS_YNuAzrjkfyiMRsrnD6GTSOcyAF_-A8ksFWFNJ0Y7mxP8Y08XfgcjsPMZBg4T4FhsRCu4R_8/s400/Yellow+Floral.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibdRCJWaKfxzRnzDeMalQLp3LJj1_GZMNN2uJA7dp-VkznGaDCmAELqV-Tto_zgUgRC3IJz0PbRvPI3uc9cuRgOlu3sDWi4oxgwd9epTx1pFOEnjipnJz8pDprid47FhDtHGeO8glJQQn_/s1600-h/Pink+Floral.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325644032116146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 395px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibdRCJWaKfxzRnzDeMalQLp3LJj1_GZMNN2uJA7dp-VkznGaDCmAELqV-Tto_zgUgRC3IJz0PbRvPI3uc9cuRgOlu3sDWi4oxgwd9epTx1pFOEnjipnJz8pDprid47FhDtHGeO8glJQQn_/s400/Pink+Floral.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW6S8ulRhpm1omzZ8XBos9Ja0KXP2yGiMpJmX6gnxrcFNb9E4ICsY3jjhzvvckjOXrxR__RQkEpZI67rIcZ_HRLejC8mx5RBEv2NYA933RYqmQQ6wmyotHiBojZI_NoihTG9_avqKaQdFg/s1600-h/Butterfly.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321325462980398066" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 323px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW6S8ulRhpm1omzZ8XBos9Ja0KXP2yGiMpJmX6gnxrcFNb9E4ICsY3jjhzvvckjOXrxR__RQkEpZI67rIcZ_HRLejC8mx5RBEv2NYA933RYqmQQ6wmyotHiBojZI_NoihTG9_avqKaQdFg/s400/Butterfly.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>They're perfect for holding items of jewellery, or other small precious things!</div><div></div><div>They are all available to buy individually or in sets of ten at <a href="http://www.peggycrafts.co.uk/">my website.</a><br /><br />Each bag measures roughly 3" square and is secured with pretty silver ribbon!

By the time we finally manage to get the web up and running, I am going to have squillionz of new peggycrafts products to show you - I have been busy working on my button range as well as my new scented hearts and also my tote bags.<br /><br />I have had a big order from a shop (eek! yey!) for lots and lots of pretty buttons so I am working on that this week (my poor thumbs!) as well as everything else. I sincerely hope to have my web connection sorted at home soon - when there will be pictures overload!<br /><br />Love<br /><br />Helen xxPeggyCraftshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07755113480945379339noreply@blogger.com1
