Haberdashery yummy ness

I love haberdashery, I fact I'm obsessed, I have tons for sale in my little shop, ranging from fabric, needles, chalk and scissors I love it all 

I also love my tacky charity shop Bambi, well all things tacky really.

As well as buying haberdashery I've been sewing up some samples, I just love this little mermaid inspired top and skirt, I may have to make myself one ( in a much larger size)

As well as haberdashery and skirts I've been spending time with the bunnies, Darth Elvis has settled in brilliantly and he is really part of the family now, the only problem is that I now want more bunnies, how many is too many do you think?

Right I'm off to do some cross stitch, I've been doing a lot recently and I'm developing my own range of naughty and nice cross stitch kits which should be online very soon ( I hope ).

The first day of the 6 weeks from hell

Ok so we are not even half way through the first day but every time I sit down at my sewing machine my kids decide that they want to kill each other so I'm not going to stress, I'm going to sit here play referee and do a spot of blogging. 

Again I have been a very bad blogger, I just keep forgetting to update it. Also my laptop is broken so I'm not able to update my website which is a massive pain in the bum but I can still blog from my phone and as always I do my best to keep Facebook up to date. 

Lots has been going on over at the bunny base, we had two new additions in  the form of baby duck and queen bee our bunnies, unfortunately queen bee died under anaesthetic and we had to get another bunny quickly so that baby duck didn't get depressed. Along came darth bunny ( or as I like to call him Elvis ) 

I loved queen bee tons and darth will never replace her but we had to do the right thing for baby duck. 

He is very well behaved and he and baby duck get on really well.  ****phew****

On the sewing front things have been going well, I start my new job working for Stafford college in September it's only two evenings a week but I really cannot wait to get started, the course is 5 weeks long and a bargain at £42. You can sign up for it and get more info from the Stafford college website. 

I've also been expanding my fabric range to include fleece, calico and jersey. I still stock cotton and poly cotton and all the usual haberdashery as well as buttons, trims etc 

I'm going to try and post most days throughout the holidays so keep popping back. I'm also going to try putting up some free tutorials as soon as my laptop is fixed. 

Wow where did the time go?

Its that time of year again, I've been a bad blogger. I just can't seem to keep on top of it. Hey ho I'm here now and I've been up to loads. First off the sewing classes have taken off on a big way. I'm teaching all ages now and I love it. I did another patchwork cushion workshop on Saturday morning and then an apron workshop in the afternoon. I really do love teaching sewing, it's a valuable skill that should be taught in schools. It give you an amazing sence of achievement and you make some thing pretty too. Everyone seems to go away happy and enthusiastic so that's the main thing.

Aprons

 The fabric side of the business is also doing well, I've expanded so now I have quite a few rolls and a bit of haberdashery too. My little studio looks a (very messy) shop.

Fabric crazy

Ok so I think I am actually fabric mad.i sold a load of things on ebay so I could buy some irregular choice shoes but instead I ended up spending it on fabric, what the hell is wrong with me?

I ordered this lovely fabric from an ebay shop called sew lala yesterday and it arrived today how amazing is that?



Anyway on friday night I put the sewing machine away and promised my hubby that I wouldnt get it back out again untill the baby is born and settled, well the sewing machine came back out on monday morning and no the baby is not born, I am sewing mad. Infact he is 3 days overdue and im one fed up, hot and grumpy mommy/crafter.



I hope you are all well and full of inspiration, and I hope I can reach the sewing machine a bit better soon.

My Creation Station

Last week i ordered some new fabric, it arrived in the post a few days later and i love love love it, look at those crazy colours! my original plan for it was bunting for my garden, how ace will that look in the sunshine in the garden? I'm so looking forward to it i can hardly wait to start but i have put the brakes on a little bit as i have one problem, i don't have a cutting mat and rotary cutter. i have a fab pair or fabric scissors that i have been using for over 10 years now but I'm wondering if it is worth investing in a mat and wheel? do you use one? are they worth it? does it make cutting fabric easier, quicker and more accurate?

I really love the spots. do you think they will make a good quilt? I've never made a quilt before but id like to try, id like to make a sofa quilt to snuggle under in the winter using all those mad summery colours.

This is a little bit of my creation station its a little bit of my fabric (the rest is thrown in a random and messy way in my cupboard) and a few of my bits and bobs including a very tacky ceramic girl with a goose that i got in a charity shop for 20p

and some of my craft books

and the mess that i make when i get started.

I love my conservatory, its my most favorite room in the house. Hopefully we are getting underfloor heating so i can still use it in the winter because it gets very, very,very cold. our heating bills have gone through the roof since we got it put on to the back of the house, but i still love it.

Do you have a special space for crafting and inspiration? if so where is it? what does it look like? i love seeing other peoples crafty spaces.

take care
